The early access version of The Outlast Trials has gone live, and it's bringing the mad science of the Murkoff Corporation to life with its twisted, monster-filled experiments set in an alternate Cold Era World. Bring some friends or brave the trials alone while hiding and evading the many murderous meatheads in the game's spooky scenarios.
Program X is a hidden level in The Outlast Trials that promises even more blood-pumping horror outside the three main maps, but unlocking isn't as simple as one would think. Players can expect to sink in a bit of time before they get to experience this core part of the game. Here's how to unlock it.
How to Access Program X in The Outlast Trials
To unlock Program X, players need to finish all three Programs and complete every single Trial within them. Surviving them once isn't enough, and players must run each trial several times in order to get that 100% completion requirement. Letter grades are irrelevant as far as completion requirements go, so don't stress out about getting good marks for each challenge.
The Trials in each Program get progressively more difficult the further players progress, which makes teamwork an absolute priority. They will eventually include a variety of modifiers such as increased enemy density, more traps, more locked doors, and limited items.
Here are all the Programs in The Outlast Trials and the details regarding each of their Trials.
Program 1 - Police Station
This Program is set in an urban police station with long, winding halls and a pitch-dark parking garage. Players will have to power up the generators and clear the way to the execution chamber to get the job done.
- Kill the Snitch - Bring the Snitch to the execution chamber for electrocution.
-
Cancel the Autopsy - Locate and dispose of corpses in the police station grinders
- Sabotage the Lockdown - Power the generators to enable escape
- Kill the Snitch (Diff. 3) - Same as above but with three Variators
- Kill the Snitch (Max Diff.) - Same as above but with six Variators
Program 2 - Fun Park
The second Program takes place in a messed-up amusement park caked with blood and viscera. Here, players must play fair games, push a boat through a trap-filled tunnel of love and escape with their lives.
- Grind the Bad Apples - Punish the animatronic children by pushing them into a grinder at the Root Canal ride
-
Punish the Miscreants - Find more animatronic children and throw them into a grinder at the fun park's barn
- Open the Gates - Disconnect the electric gates to unlock the exit
- Grind the Bad Apples (Diff. 3) - Same as above but with three Variators
- Grind the Bad Apples (Max Diff.) - Same as above but with six Variators
Program 3 - Orphanage
The final Program in the base early access version of The Outlast Trials will have players skulking through an orphanage in hopes of delivering holy communion to its residents.
- Cleanse the Orphans - Serve the Body of Christ to the orphans
-
Feed the Orphans - Make bleach soup and give it to the children
- Foster the Orphans - Open gates and take the children home
- Cleanse the Orphans (Diff. 3) - Same as above but with three Variators
- Cleanse the Orphans (Max Diff.) - Same as above but with six Variators
Finish all of these and Program X will be available to select on the mission select terminal before starting a game. It features a different set of seasonal Trials that gets updated regularly by the developers. Expect more challenges in the future as the game evolves.
