Mission reference

Quasimorph Mission Types

Mission types group contracts by objective. Effects stay version-scoped, and unknown outcomes remain unknown.

Changing version updates the information scope.

Which mission type matches your goal?

There is no universal best mission type. Start with the result you want, then verify the live contract before accepting it.

Patch 1.0.2 · 14 August 2026

For Descent, confirm the way out before the last floor

The evacuation portal in Descent missions is now marked on the minimap. That reduces a navigation failure, not the mission’s combat or objective pressure: check the marker while you still have ammunition, medicine and a route to it.

Boundary: this is a Steam 1.0.2 interface fact. It does not confirm a universal Descent strategy or apply to the Unstable Beta dataset.

Patch 1.0.4 Strategic Rule · September 2026

Station contract cooldown (11–21 days)

In Patch 1.0.4, completing any Conquest, Defense, Elimination, or Sabotage contract places the target space station into an 11–21 day mission cooldown. Players can no longer farm repetitive contracts at a single station to artificially boost faction tech. Plan multi-station flight circuits on the Magnum and rotate target corporations across the solar system.
