Phantom: Covert Ops – Challenge Pack 1

Today sees the release of our first free post-launch content update for Phantom: Covert Ops!

Challenge Pack 1 is now available to download from the Oculus store on both Quest and Rift and includes five all-new Challenge Maps, plus bug fixes and a host of quality-of-life updates to the game. Read on for all you need to know about the first of our Challenge Packs

New Challenge Maps!

Challenge Pack 1’s maps are all about completing challenges with crazy cheats active! After installing this update, you’ll be able to play...

Loose Cannon: Kill everyone in Voldat with an infinite ammunition grenade launcher and more explosive force!

Powder Keg: Assassinate the high value targets in the Base. Be careful though: the HVTs have exploding heads!

Unfathomable: Our most difficult time trial to date: your kayak controls are reversed! Keep your wits about you, remember that right is left and left is right, and try not to crash too often…

Target Hunt: Paddle around the levels finding and shooting pop-up cutouts of enemies, like a shooting range on the river!

Broadside: Take the SV-54 Assault rifle out to the shooting range for some target practice! Like any good action hero, you’ll never need to reload so focus on your accuracy.
