Mastering Exoprimal: A Comprehensive Guide to Conquer Every Game Mode

Capcom's latest IP Exoprimal immerses players into intense war games, where the survival of humanity hinges on their ability to withstand the relentless onslaught of AI-summoned dinosaurs led by Leviathan. Equipped with a diverse arsenal of ten cutting-edge Exosuits, players are armed with the necessary tools to lead their team to victory and ensure their own survival.

Within Exoprimal, there are currently two game modes available: Dino Survival and Training. However, the true essence of the game lies within the war games featured in the Dino Survival mode. These war games, selected at random by Leviathan, test the skills and abilities of the Exopilots. With an impressive selection pool of eleven distinct war games, players are encouraged to familiarize themselves with each one as they progress through Exoprimal's immersive narrative.

Dinosaur Cull

In Exoprimal, players will frequently come across the war game called Dinosaur Cull. The main goal of this game mode is to defeat a specified number of dinosaurs in the quickest time possible in order to advance to the next level. The true challenge lies in devising a strategic plan for summoning dinosaurs to the battlefield and reaching the dino target before the opposing team.

Each round typically includes one to three different types of dinosaurs. The number and difficulty of the dinosaurs vary based on how far a player has advanced in the game. Although the game may initially appear straightforward and somewhat repetitive, progressing through the game's storyline will expand the range of adversaries available.

Dinosaur Pursuit

The Dinosaur Pursuit game is simple to understand, resembling a Dinosaur Cull mission. Players are given the challenge of pursuing and eliminating a large dinosaur, such as a Triceratops or T. rex, to advance to the next level.

Although the concept is straightforward, accomplishing the task is far from easy. Escaping dinosaurs are accompanied by hordes of smaller dinosaurs, acting as obstacles to reaching the target. To emerge victorious, players must overcome these swarms of Raptors and similar creatures to fulfill their mission.

Data Key Security

This is typically the initial battle in the final round that players are given. In Data Key Security, the objective is for teams to protect a massive data cube as they guide it to a designated checkpoint and upload its contents. Players must accompany the cube on foot, defending against both aggressive dinosaurs and rival players.

The checkpoints for both teams are located next to each other, making a confrontation with the opposing team unavoidable. In a strategic move, players have the option to take an offensive approach and destroy the enemy's cube. This action will temporarily pause its advancement until it can be repaired.

Uplink Control

Uplink Control, a game reminiscent of popular Capture The Flag games in first and third-person shooters, revolves around the objective of securing control over the three bases scattered across the map. By maintaining control of these uplink centers, teams can engage in data transfer to secure victory. The team that achieves a 100% data transfer first will emerge as the winners of the round.

This intense PvP war game presents players with a formidable challenge. They must withstand attacks from both hordes of dinosaurs and enemy Exopilots. With a wide range of Exosuits at their disposal, players must familiarize themselves with the strengths and limitations of their chosen suit to effectively adapt to the ever-changing battlefield conditions.

Omega Charge

In the Omega Charge game mode, one team member must take control of the Omega Hammer, power it up, and eliminate the obstacle hindering their squad's progress. To power up the hammer enough to demolish the barrier, teams must accumulate a high number of dinosaur kills.

In the beginning rounds, this game resembles a PvE-style scenario. However, the ultimate obstacle that needs to be destroyed is shared between both teams. This means that to emerge victorious, players must endure and surpass their opponents until they can strike the final blow that shatters the barrier.

Escort

Similar to the Data Key Security war game, the Escort game requires teams to accompany a non-playable character (NPC) who carries out investigations on behalf of Leviathan. The NPC, another Exofighter, will refrain from engaging enemies or dinosaurs that hinder their assigned tasks.

Players must walk alongside their comrade throughout the mission, safeguarding the Exofighter from incoming dinosaur attacks. The NPC is not easily damaged, offering an advantage to players who only need to monitor its health bar to avoid jeopardizing the mission.

Energy Taker

Energy Taker presents a unique concept compared to other war games in Exoprimal. In this challenge, teams must gather the designated amount of energy sources before their opponent team does. The energy is scattered across the map and resets periodically, increasing the chances for claiming the advantage.

It's important to mention that in the Energy Taker game, players have the opportunity to steal energy from opposing Exofighters when they are eliminated. While players won't lose all of their collected energy, their unsuccessful attempts will be penalized, resulting in the penalty possibly benefiting the enemy team.

Vortex Sabotage

In Exoprimal, vortexes pose a formidable challenge for Exofighters as they generate an endless onslaught of dinosaurs. In the mission "Vortex Sabotage," players must reclaim their planet by obliterating these vortexes and putting a stop to the rampage of prehistoric beasts.

To accomplish this, players must work together to dismantle the protective energy cylinders surrounding the vortex device, a task that demands considerable firepower. While some fighters take on the responsibility of damaging the device, others must fend off the relentless advance of the dinosaurs.

VTOL Defense

In this game mode, players will come across a disabled aircraft that needs to be defended collaboratively. The vehicle's health bar indicates the level of protection, and if it reaches zero, the round is lost.

Players have various strategies at their disposal. They can choose to position themselves on top of the VTOL to target dinosaurs. Alternatively, they can take a more aggressive approach and confront the dinosaurs before they reach the aircraft. Regardless of the strategy chosen, teamwork is critical.

Area Defense

In the Area Defense game, players have the same objective as the VTOL Defense challenge, but with a different target to protect. Instead of an aircraft, teams are assigned the task of safeguarding a data point while staying near it.

The key distinction between this game and VTOL is that to win in Area Defense, players must successfully finish the designated uplink. Standing within the indicated zone enhances the speed of the uplink, and having more players will further expedite the completion process.

Neo T. Rex

The Neo T. Rex in Exoprimal is not only the toughest boss, but also provides the most significant combat challenge in the game. Defeating it is such an accomplishment that it requires both teams to work together. Adding to the difficulty, there is a limit on the number of respawns allowed, and if the counter reaches zero, the game is lost.

The Neo T. Rex poses a much greater challenge than its namesake, boasting unbelievably powerful skills. Players must contend not only with this high-powered dinosaur, but also with a variety of other dinosaurs that come to its aid, as well as the potential dangers created by Leviathan in the virtual environment.

Exoprimal is now available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S
