Majesty
Occupation: Exosuit Pilot
Gunning to be Aibius' top Exofighter, Majesty has burned through six teams in over two years and is the newest member of the Hammerheads. Sharp, straightforward, and a realist, she is rarely the type to joke around with her squad mates. Majesty is a nickname given to her by the crew, as her real name is Viktoria, not Regina.
Alders and Sandy
Alders Occupation: Engineer of the Hammerheads
Alders' Exofighter career came to an abrupt end when an incident cost him his right arm, which he then replaced with a prosthetic. This is why Alders hides his pessimistic nihilism behind a smile and frequent jokes. He gets along with the android Sandy and treats her with the same sentiment someone might share with a human being.
Sandy Occupation: Support Android
Sandy is one of a highly advanced mass-produced AI model android equipped with various functions to assist Hammerheads' squad activities. She is capable of handling everything from combat support to personal counseling. Repeated missions with the Hammerheads squad has fostered a unique personality within Sandy, and she considers herself a member of the team.
Leviathan
Occupation: Advanced AI
Developed by Aibius Corp., Leviathan is a new generation AI that guides players throughout Exoprimal via voice navigation and augmented reality displays. Leviathan appears before players as a massive, human-like figure or as a surveillance drone called a Watcher. He has trapped Ace within the Dino Survival Wargames and his full intent is unknown.
The Story
The year is 2043.
Three years have passed since the vortexes—rifts in spacetime—unleashed the dinosaur outbreak across the world.
Ace, an Exofighter with the Hammerheads squad, crash-lands on Bikitoa Island due to a vortex that appeared during a routine patrol mission. There they encounter Leviathan, a new generation of AI that forces the rookie into a series of wargames. A chance meeting with the enigmatic Exosuit Pilot Magnum teaches the Hammerheads that Leviathan's wargames transport the team back in time...to the exact same date three years ago. Why are the wargames always held on this day in the past? Why does Leviathan summon dinosaurs as it's test? Is there a way to win the wargames for good? With countless questions looming over them, the confused team does their best to survive and catches sight of an even more astonishing individual.

STORY PROGRESSION/DINO SURVIVAL
In Exoprimal, the story unfolds as you play through the game's main mode of play, Dino Survival. In Dino Survival, two squads of five race to complete objectives. Teams must follow Leviathan's directives and complete the mission before their rivals to win. This is the first portion of the experience. The second portion will depend on which mode/queue you're choosing to play(PvP, PvE, or Hybrid).
Some situations pit players against one another in direct combat(PvP focused), some will require you to survive an even deadlier race(PvE focused), and other games will require players to band together in a 10 man co-op finale with their rival team in order to take down a major foe in a raid boss fight.
-In PvP games, there can only be one winning team.
-In PvE games, both teams can win the match IF the losing team is able to still complete all objectives within the given time frame, after the first team secures a win.
-In PvE games where it ends in a raid, both teams will earn winning XP as long as they are able to defeat the raid boss together.
You can freely change Exosuit classes at any time within a match, but be careful of your surroundings when you make the switch!
In Dino Survival, the missions change and more options appear based on players' progression through the game. The experience will be different with each match, even in matches with familiar surroundings and objectives. After the tutorial mission, you can choose whether or not to join PvP queue, PvE queue, or Hybrid. After playing enough missions, you will also receive the choice of which Final Mission you prefer in queue. Players can unlock story sequences by playing Dino Survival and also earn rewards such as experience points and coins. Experience points increase player level and Exosuit levels. Coins will help players obtain upgrades to their Exosuits, including the ability to equip up to 3 modules that will boost certain abilities along with unlocking a secondary utility skill called a Rig. Coins can also be used for cosmetic purposes as well.
Dino Survival will unlock new maps, features, modes, enemies, and experiences the more you play. Gather intel known as "Lost Data" in these matches to update the Analysis Map in the database, and slowly unravel the mysteries of the island. In order to progress the story, you must select the data in the analysis map to view codec messages and newly revealed lore amongst the crew. Revealing every secret surrounding this tale and bringing Leviathan's story to a close is one of the main objectives of the game.
THE EXOSUITS
Exosuits are cutting-edge powered suits developed to combat the dinosaur threat. Based on their range of abilities, Exosuits are primarily categorized into one of three roles:
Assault, Tank, and Support.
Exofighters can change Exosuits at any time, even during battle, by performing a suit change. Take advantage of this flexibility to alter your team composition on the fly and complete your objectives.
Assault Exosuits focus on dealing damage to enemies with close, medium, or long-range attacks. Although exact loadouts differ, each assault is equipped with weapons and abilities tailored to its effective combat range. Use the best weapon for the situation and eradicate whatever stands in your way.
Tank Exosuits specialize in protecting their allies by drawing enemy attacks and absorbing damage. Whether they're holding back a massive horde or stopping relentless dinosaur attacks, tanks will form your team's first line of defense.
Support Exosuits use a variety of abilities to ensure the team's survival. While the ability to repair allies is most common, support suits are also equipped with a range of buffing and debuffing abilities. Supports use these abilities to improve a team's combat effectiveness and accomplish objectives even faster.
In order to get the best score and the most xp, it is recommended to play each class to the best of their own strengths. Trying to use a support as an assault or an assault as a tank will not only put you and your team more at risk, you will also end up with a slightly lower score and xp due to not helping your team in the most effective manner, especially at pivotal moments when they needed you to be effective at your role.

. Game is straight crack. Starting to unlock more maps, enemies and interesting scenarios now after a bit of a slow (but fun) start. Have also found my self quite enjoying the story and data logs you unlock as you play.
