How missions work
Summary
You and up to three other players work through a campaign that traces the history of the TITAN Corporation all the way to the global freeze. Every mission you finish rewards you with income and XP. The story is told entirely from the point of view of a helmet camera, so the action always feels close and immediate.
- Squad size up to four players, including yourself
- Reward types income and XP on every completed mission
- Weekend bonus both income and XP are doubled on weekends
- Story framing the campaign follows TITAN Corporation's history through a helmet-camera view

What the badges ask you to do
Check
The game tracks a wide range of actions beyond simply shooting enemies. Hacking terminals, arresting targets, reaching critical state, and equipping specific charms all feed into separate badges.
- Make your first arrest to unlock TAKING NAMES.
- Complete a hack successfully for ENTRY IN, ENTRY OUT.
- Reach critical state for the first time to unlock THE HARD WAY.
- Finish a mission while someone on your team has the VIRUS charm equipped to unlock INFECTED.
- MURDERER unlocks the first time you kill an enemy; CEASE FIRE tracks taking an innocent life.
- Many badges are still listed as coming soon, meaning new objectives will be added as the game updates.
Hardware and performance
Warn
PROJECT APEX is built around high visual fidelity, and the developers are open that there is a limit to how far they can optimise performance. Mid-range hardware is the stated minimum.
Playing as a demo — what to expect
Tips
PROJECT APEX is explicitly a work in progress. A tutorial, more missions, and outbreak expansions are all planned but not yet available.
- Report bugs — use the in-game report feature whenever you run into issues so developers can fix them.
- Tutorial content, new missions, and character model reworks are all confirmed as planned additions.
- Many of the game's badges are listed as coming soon, so there will be new objectives to chase.
Glossary
Glossary- Critical state
- A near-death condition your character can fall into during a mission; a teammate can pull you out of it.
- Charm
- An item you equip to your character before a mission, such as the VIRUS charm that triggers the INFECTED badge.
- TITAN Corporation
- The organisation at the centre of the game's story, running a genetic-manipulation and bioengineering program.
- Helmet camera
- The first-person viewpoint the entire campaign is played from, as if you are looking through a camera mounted on your helmet.
- Double-reward weekend
- A recurring event every weekend that doubles both income and XP earned from completed missions.
