One of the more interesting components of Umbrella Corps, the Resident Evil multiplayer spin-off, is one of its newest game modes: the Multi-Mission mode. The third-person shooter will force players to constantly learn new objective types keeping players on their feet as they switch rulesets at the beginning of each round. Multi-Mission mode will have eight different types of rounds that can be cycled between, each with their own distinct objectives.
- Target Hunter – One target will be chosen per team and only killing that target will count towards the score. Players can choose whether to focus on protecting their own target or aggressively attacking the enemy target.
- Respawn Match – Team deathmatch featuring respawns. Take advantage of the on-screen sound radar map to locate the enemies’ random respawn points.
- Domination – Secure the specified data transmission point located within the stage for a longer time than the enemy team in order to win.
- DNA Hunter – Kill zombies and collect their DNA samples. Destroying the opposing team’s Zombie Jammers is a key strategy in this mode.
- SP DNA Hunter – Kill the special mutated zombies and collect their DNA samples. They are particularly tough and immune to the effects of the Zombie Jammer. It’ll take teamwork to bring these creatures down.
- Collector – Teams battle it out to see who will be first to collect all 5 briefcases in the stage.
- Protector – Find the briefcase and hold it for as long as possible, while fending off the opposition. The player who has it will become a moving target, so teams must work together effectively.
- Collar War – Collect the battle data “collars” of downed enemy players, and pick up allies’ collars to prevent the enemy team from getting points.
This game mode is added to the already known One Life mode where respawns are not available. The Multi-Mission mode in Umbrella Corps is smart because it makes it so that players who are not particularly good at one type of ruleset, can turn things around when the next round begins. There is a three-minute timer for each round. The trailer above shows the game types in action.
Do any of these variants sound interesting, or have you fallen off the Resident Evil bandwagon now? Let us know in the comments below. Umbrella Corps will be released on PS4 and PC in May 2016.
