Corrupt Mode (Game Mode)

*For the Corrupt Mode update, see Corrupt Mode (Update).*

# Description

Corrupt Mode is a new challenging game mode that offers an entirely new experience to playthroughs! Explore an alternative timeline of Arcadia with a storyline twist - Haiku is the virus.

With the virus now flowing through your circuit board, you are more vulnerable with only one health point and if you die, you will respawn at the last unlocked repair station.

Temporary health upgrades are also available to help you overcome some of the more difficult challenges in the game but they are a one time use with only 19 available in total, additionally it costs Spare Parts to use and save at repair stations even if you have visited prior.

*Note: Corrupt Mode only unlocks after completion of core game*

# Changes

In Corrupt Mode, several items and chips have been given new locations in order to fit with the alternative storyline and exclusion of certain characters due to many more being infected by the virus this time around. Practically all of the NPC's have been taken over by the virus leaving very few scattered throughout Arcadia to assist the player, below are the items and chips that have been given new locations.

A map for everything will be below it all in the Health Locations section
