Caveman Studio has released its fourth wipe update for its VR extraction shooter Contractors: Showdown ExFilZone.
The biggest new addition in the update is a long-awaited PvE mode. This new mode is playable solo or in three-player squads with a small caveat. The solo mode is free to play for anyone who owns the game. Co-op requires the purchase of a $9.99 Fireteam Elite add-on. Caveman Studio says only one player needs to own the Fireteam Elite DLC to unlock the squad mode. The DLC also includes multiple new skins and gear. Additionally, PvE has a separate progression track from PvP, allowing players to enjoy it without wipes affecting the experience.

The wipe update also brings several new changes:
- A new weather system adds fog and rain to raids, dynamically affecting gameplay through changes in visibility and making each raid even more unique.
- A redesign of the HQ. The second floor has been entirely removed, with all vendors repositioned on the first floor.
- Equipment vouchers that let players create their favorite loadouts as presets instead of building piece by piece for each raid.
- Unwanted items can now be sold directly in kiosks.
- The economy system has been overhauled for better balance and more rewarding looting.
The update comes with a daily login event for the first 20 days with new rewards and a limited time character skin.
Contractors Showdown is available on Meta Quest and Steam.
