Look what the cat dragged in...

It's been 15 years since the Fall, a time of never-ending fear and terror. No one stood a chance of facing the hordes come nightfall. Then came the Nightrunners, a group of ex-Special Ops that chose to become the watchmen of the City.

I was one of them.

The group would grow in ranks and reach legendary status...we were like brothers. It all came crashing down when the team ventured out to take back the VNC Tower. The swarming Infected overpowered everyone. One by one, we perished. No one would’ve ever guessed that on this day, it was the end of the Nightrunners.

The few of us that survived disbanded. Our leader abandoned the team and as a result, we scattered. All the good that could’ve been — gone. Just like that. Sure felt like a betrayal to everything we ever stood for, we have never recovered since. However, that didn’t stop me from doing the right thing. The name is Harper and I’m gonna need your help.

We need to take care of the sudden rise in the Infected. I’ll aid you by giving you access to one-of-a-kind new gear, so listen closely. What we do here will have major repercussions later down the line. Are you in?

Vendor

Within my agent menu you will also find an entire catalog of weapons, outfits, consumables, and many other special items to choose from. I will trade you for mutation samples and Harper’s tokens as long as you bring me enough of them. Got it?

Harper's Tokens

Tokens are one of the unique currencies used to purchase items that you previously unlocked upon attaining the required rank. They can be obtained primarily by ranking up within the agent ranks.

Equipment

The Nightrunner’s Claws are just one of the few special weapons you can get from me. The higher your agent rank, the better the array and quality of weapons.

Extras

On top of an impressive arsenal, you can get new outfits. One of the most sought-after attires is none other than the Elite Nightrunner set.

Goods & Blueprints

Finally, the consumables such as the improved inhibitors, mine blueprints, mission tickets, etc. Each one serves its own unique purpose that alters your gameplay needs and style.

Missions
& Mutations

Get out there and hunt down the Special Infected. Loot foes for the new resource, Mutation Samples. Use it to trade with me for some awesome goodies at my shop.

Be extra careful around the new enemy breed ravaging The City, the Mutated Infected. They come in two forms - both of which contain the largest amounts of Mutation Samples, more than any other enemy you will come across.
Volatile Hive is an immobile enemy guarded by other Volatiles. They can alarm the nearby Infected when attacked. You have a chance of finding them in the Special Infected infested Dark Hollows, as well as completed Gre Quarantine Zones.

Volatile Tyrants however, will be much harder to come across as they are elusive hunters that only occasionally stop to feast on the rooftops.
As your vendor, I also offer the special item called Mission Tickets. These will relocate you to timed trials in which you have to reach the final area by a combination of force, stealth and parkour. The last goal will be to eradicate all the Infected.

The Missions are very punishing. Failure to finish the objective on time or death means game over. Stock up on multiple tickets before attempting! Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Prepare for What's About To Go Down

Good Luck and Stay Human!
