FERROWAKE

Deploy into a six-wave defense

A standard FERROWAKE run starts in one of three industrial sectors with a chosen weapon, ability, gadget, difficulty, and shift. Each wave sends a squad of machines into the arena, and the next preparation phase begins only after the counter reaches zero.

The first live Boneyard wave began with six machines and full integrity and energy. Moving, dodging, and firing the Needle rifle disabled one target, reducing the counter to five while the remaining machines continued closing in.

Movement, weapons, and field tools

Use WASD to move, aim with the mouse, hold the primary button to fire, and press R to recharge. Space dodges, Q activates the current ability, F uses the gadget, E revives a fallen operator, G pings, and C opens crew communications.

The arenas reward constant movement because enemies flank, guard, and pursue as a group. The Boneyard offers shifting cover, Reactor Nine adds thermal vents and tighter lanes, and Floodgate mixes wading channels with cargo cranes.

Solo runs, crews, and rotating operations

Deploy alone, join an open crew through Quick play, or share a private crew code for up to four operators. Standard runs last six waves, Quick raids use three waves, Boss rush links three bosses, and Expeditions cross all three sectors over nine waves.

Daily operations, weekly mutators, monthly endless seasons, career levels, medals, scrap, and cosmetic equipment create reasons to return. The browser build requires desktop keyboard and mouse or a gamepad.

Creator's description

A solo standard deployment entered The Boneyard at full integrity and energy. Movement, dodge, and primary fire responded during the first six-machine wave, and one machine was disabled while the live counter dropped from six to five.
