The public test server features new PvE and PvP content, including new and modified weapons and customization options. The majority of changes are in PvE, with a new map, relaxed class weapon restrictions, and altered online gameplay features. Remember, this content is a work in progress and subject to change before official release.

Online gameplay improvements include enhanced matchmaking for both PvE and PvP, focusing on balanced teams. PvE matchmaking aims to prevent players from selecting the same class on the same team and includes a prestige leveling system. PvP offers expanded lobby customization options.

Currently, there's no confirmation on whether progression or content will transfer from the test server to the main game; it's not expected.
