Ascension
Intel Brief
A Soviet space launch facility overrun with zombie cosmonauts and enraged space monkeys. The crew seeks Gersch, trapped inside his own device.
Setup Guide
Power
- Open from spawn to the central lunar lander/power complex.
- Activate power to unlock perk machines and map systems.
Pack-a-Punch Location
Central facility after lander and generator requirements.
Accessing Pack-a-Punch
- Activate all lunar landers and route through central room.
- Once systems are online, access Pack-a-Punch in the hub area.

PARTIAL SOLOAscension co-op quest centers on lunar lander coordination and button interactions.
Open to power and establish safe movement between all lander zones before starting objective interactions.
Coordinate players on required pads/buttons in order while keeping round control in open areas.
During interaction windows, one player handles objective while others anchor incoming lanes and revive coverage.
Complete the final synchronized interactions once all prior checks are done.
Field Strategies
- Plan monkey rounds around perk protection priority.
- Use wide open training lanes near spawn and central ring.
- Save explosive utility for monkey and clutch revive windows.
Special Enemies
Appear in dedicated monkey rounds (every 5 rounds). They target and steal your perk machines - if they reach a machine, you lose that perk. Killing all monkeys before they escape rewards a full powerup.
TIP Assign each player a perk to guard during monkey rounds. Quick Revive and Juggernog are highest priority. Pistols work fine - you do not need heavy ammo for monkeys.
Space Monkeys
Decide perk protection order before monkey rounds so each player knows where to rotate first.
Shotguns, explosive utility, and focused callouts shorten monkey rounds and preserve perk economy.
Lunar Lander Notes
Landers are not just transport; they are tempo tools for breaking pressure and resetting control.
Use landers before lanes collapse, not after - late activations often force unnecessary downs.

Space Monkeys pressure perk defense; lunar landers and open loops drive survival flow.
