Welcome to Duo Trials by Project Zaero.
- This rundown is designed for duo play, starting with beginner difficulty leading into extreme intensity expeditions. Please report any issues you find to Project Zaero#9999 on Discord.
Features:
- Verified duo clearable expeditions.
- Progressively more challenging expeditions. A tier starts off beginner friendly, while E tier will challenge even the top 0.1% of duos.
- 8 Expeditions currently available.
- Main objectives are relatively easy, while sectors provide a significant challenge on all levels.
- The first expedition of each tier will contain only vanilla enemies.

Giant Striker: Adjusted stagger & limb health breakpoints.
Giant Shooter: Removed.
Charger: Tentacle nerfed 18% -> 16%, punch buffed 4% -> 6%. Much more stagger resistant.

Birthers: Adjusted weakspot health values. Significantly reduced animation speed.
Child Striker: Dies instantly to any damage. Moves much slower.
Spitters: Damage 4% -> 5%.

Giant Shadow: Same detection behavior as small shadows. Retro/R2 style aggression but worse.
Shadow Scout: Adjusted detection cycle. Model fixed to be a shooter model.
Other notable changes.
- Infection health decay rate increased by 25%.
- "Armor" (white hitmarkers) on boss enemies now deals 35% damage instead of 0.0001% damage. If they're low, shoot them anywhere!
- Pouncers no longer have armor.
- Chargers have a critical point at the center of their chest, and take critical damage to their back, with an "occiput" style center of back super damage bonus.
- Foam on the floor is massively improved for stalling enemies.
- Custom syringes with special properties spawn on most levels. Try them out!
- Bio-Tracker has color coded enemy tags, with varying icons to make special enemy variants stick out.
- Resources and consumables can be dropped back into containers to assist in planning out encounters.
- Health Regen Cap 20% -> 25%, medipack healing 20% -> 25%.
- Some levels have enemies that inflict status effects, including Bleed and Infection. If you have the "Bleeding!" status effect, medkits and regeneration effects from syringes will stop the bleeding instantly.
- If you see a shooter fire blue projectiles, you're already dead.
