A modern-warfare squad shooter RPG inside a quarantined coast overrun by Hollows. Play as a Vanguard, Ranger, Mechanic, Launcher, Drone Operator or Field Medic with three-branch skill trees, loot realistic weapons and armor, recruit specialists and assign them Point, Flank, Overwatch or Escort. Fight Hollows, raiders, a military remnant, corporate robots and a cult across five regions, ally with or declare war on factions as the front lines shift, climb the endless Spire for exclusive gear, and risk your haul in Blackzones where rogue operators hunt you and only extraction keeps the loot.

How to play

Follow the story from the Operations map, or patrol any sector to scavenge. Hold E to search containers; loot glows by rarity. Spend skill points in three branches per class — rows unlock as you invest, and keystones change your build. Recruit operatives, pick three and set their positions. Raise reputation to open faction markets and recruits, sign alliances, join one side or declare war, and assault enemy sectors for your allies. Clear Spire floors for marks and Spire-only exotics. In Blackzones, everything you pick up is hot until you call a chopper at a pad and survive until it lands.

Controls

On touch: left stick moves, right stick aims and fires, buttons for use, reload, roll, swap, skills and consumables.

Tips and strategy

  • Time your Space dodge roll into incoming fire: it grants a brief moment of invulnerability, but you cannot shoot mid-roll and it has a cooldown of about a second.
  • Stand still and hold right click for accuracy, since aiming down sights sharply tightens spread while moving widens it, at the cost of slower movement.
  • Fight from behind cars, crates and sandbags: walls stop every bullet, and low cover soaks a share of shots aimed at you.
  • In a Blackzone, only crack a contraband crate when you are ready to fight, because the alarm alerts every rogue operator in the zone to your position.
  • Push the Spire in blocks of five: every fifth floor is a boss fight that pays bonus marks, and your first clear of it sets a restart checkpoint and drops an epic or legendary item.

BLACKZONE: Last Signal FAQ

What happens to my loot if I die in a Blackzone?

Every item you pick up in a Blackzone is marked hot. You keep hot items only by calling a chopper at an extraction pad, holding out for 35 seconds and boarding; die or abandon the run first and all of them are lost.

How does the Spire work in BLACKZONE: Last Signal?

The Spire is an endless series of arena floors where you survive waves or defeat a boss every fifth floor, earning Spire marks. Higher floors add modifiers like Armored or Blackout, and after clearing floor 5 you can spend marks on Spire-only exotic gear.

What do the squad positions Point, Flank, Overwatch and Escort do?

Point moves ahead and draws enemy fire, Flank circles to hit enemies from the side, Overwatch hangs back to engage at long range, and Escort stays at your shoulder to protect you.
