Vermin Combat

Vermin Combat is the FPS action layer of StarRupture. All hostile creatures on Arcadia-7 are arachnid-like aliens called Vermin that attack in swarms. Aggression scales dynamically with the player base size and activity level, meaning larger, more productive bases attract fiercer attacks.

Players unlock weapons through the Griffits Blue corporation, spending War Bonds earned from combat to purchase assault rifles, shotguns, and LMGs. Each Vermin type has unique behaviors and weak spots that reward skilled shooting. Defense turrets and towers provide automated protection, but player involvement is essential during major swarm events, particularly the waves that precede Star Rupture cycles.
