2v8
The Xenomorph joins the mode with innate skills, and Survivors can find Invoking Salt to perform a Ritual for access to their Unlockable Skill and a diminishing Haste boost. Classes receive Uncommon starting items, Nostromo Wreckage becomes available, and The Ghostface, The Executioner and Guide Class receive improvements.
