What the 1.0 launch actually added
Armageddon is a full content release, not a label change. The headline additions:
- Survival mode — a wave-defense mode where squads protect speakers against hordes in five-minute waves, then extract after three waves.
- Three new Survival maps — Flooded, Lighthouse, and Night of the Living Dead.
- Raven Rock — a new objective map set in an underground military bunker in southern Pennsylvania.
- Solo Mode — offline practice with permadeath off and progression paused.
- Economy overhaul — rebalanced loadout pricing, a new Merits currency, and a full progression reset.
- Re-tuned difficulty — Beginner, Normal, Hard and Nightmare with new respawn rules.
- Full crossplay — PC, PlayStation and Xbox in one player pool.
- Technical pass — DLSS support, native PC controller support, tutorials, achievements and weekly missions.
What changed between Early Access and 1.0
The 1.0 update reset all account progression. Account level, Credits, Responders and loadouts all started fresh on August 11. Torn Banner said eligible Early Access cosmetic rewards were retained, but gameplay progress did not carry over.
This matters if you see older guides: Early Access-era weapons, perk and economy details are frequently out of date against the 1.0 build.
