Missions & Combat

Mission Types

Warped offers two distinct combat modes:

Mode	Description
Real-Time	Action-based combat in real time. React quickly, dodge attacks, and aim precisely.
Turn-Based	Strategic, methodical combat. Plan your moves, manage resources, and outthink your opponents.

Mission Flow

Request a Mission — Choose a sector and facility to run a mission against. Missions are tied to specific sectors with a void damage type that affects difficulty.
Start the Mission — Enter combat (solo or with other players).
Complete or Fail — Finish the mission objectives. Success earns rewards; failure means trying again.
Claim Rewards — After completing a mission, collect your earned Residuum, XP, items, and faction points.

Training Missions

When you first start playing, Training Missions teach you the game’s core systems. These are single-player tutorials that walk you through combat, exploration, and progression mechanics.

Training missions grant 25 XP each
They award guaranteed Sparks and Artifractal Cores on first completion
Each training mission can only reward you once — after that, it’s purely for practice

Mission Rewards

Every completed mission awards:

Reward	Details
Residuum	Up to 5,000 per mission. Used to claim additional rewards or converted to bonus XP.
XP	Base 25 XP, scaled by your difficulty tier. Higher difficulty = more XP.
Free Item Drop	One guaranteed random drop — a Spark or Artifractal Core with random rarity.
Priced Drops	Two additional item drops that cost 500 Residuum each to claim. You choose whether to spend or save.
Faction Points	Luminary or Foundationalist Points, depending on the mission’s facility type.
Bonus XP	Any unspent Residuum converts to bonus XP at the end of the mission.

How Reward Rarity Works

The rarity of your mission drops is influenced by the number of Power Plants built across the system (see Planets & Facilities). Your personal difficulty tier also sets a minimum rarity floor — at higher difficulties, you won’t receive drops below a certain rarity.

Multiplayer

Missions support cooperative multiplayer — team up with other players to tackle harder content. Your loadout and gear score are shared with your team, so gearing up benefits everyone.
