Our Public Test Server is live!

Hello Commandos,

More suffering, more chaos. We're launching the official Public Test Server for John Carpenter's Toxic Commando! We'll mainly be testing our new difficulty mode: INSANE.

​🛠️​What is a Public Test Server ?

A Public test server is an alternative version of John Carpenter's Toxic Commando which allows you to test upcoming changes or content before they officially release. For us, the goal is to get feedback and adjust the changes we plan on making. For you, the goal is to try out new features and have some fun!

• The Public Test Server builds still include "work in progress" content. You should expect some technical issues and non-definitive features.

• We will close this Public Test Server on Monday 20/04

⚠️​IMPORTANT : Your PTS save files DO NOT carry on to the default game.

DO NOT try to copy-paste your save files from the PTS to the game, there is a high risk of save corruption.

​⚙️​How to access the Public Test Server

If you own John Carpenter's Toxic Commando, the Public Test Server should have popped up in your Steam library already.

It's a different Steam application, requiring a separate download.

​ℹ️​ Basic Information about the Public Test Server

• All missions (maps) are unlocked

• All tutorials (game, hub) are skipped

• Very Hard and Insane (new) difficulty levels are unlocked for all missions

• Players are level 40 for all classes and have 40 skill points for all classes

• Every weapon is maxxed out and all attachments/tiers are already purchased

• Player's profile is level 20

When the Insane difficulty mode releases, it'll be unlocked if you completed each mission on Hard difficulty, just like the Very Hard difficulty.

On the PTS, all progression including all missions on Insane is unlocked right away.

​​🔧​What you'll test in this first Public Test Server

1.​​😈​ Insane Difficulty ​​😈​

Prepare to suffer! This difficulty setting is impossible to pass without a maxed-out player progression. We want your feedback on it!

2.Prestige Weapon system update

Attachments and Tiers are no longer removed when upgrading a Weapon's Prestige; only the Weapon's level is now removed when upgrading a Weapon's Prestige.

3.Respawn system update

The moment the first player dies, a random Revival Pod is selected for him from those located between 100 and 160 meters away. If there are no such Revival Pods, the nearest Revival Pod is selected

The color of beam corresponds to the rarity of the weapon in each player’s profile (progression).

• The Defender Class - Temporary armor which was lost due to any damage cannot be restored by re-entering the shield.

• The Defender Class - The Repulsor perk does not activate on all Roamers caught in the shield.

• Two players cannot activate the terminals to open the container on Root of Evil (they could only do so if both pressed on the terminals at the same time).

• Snare could remain idle for a period of time after spawning.
