Mayday (Extinction)

Mayday is the third map and second episode of the Extinction saga. Mayday takes place on the Chinese ship where Nightfall's epilogue left off. The objective is to infiltrate the ship, take out the hives and rescue Dr. Samantha Cross from David Archer. Mayday brings two new Cryptids, the Seeder and the Kraken. The Seeder, much like the Scorpion, shoots toxic gas. The Seeder will also fire pods that can grow into mutated plants that are turret-like in nature. The Kraken is the monstrous Cryptid shown at the end of Nightfall's epilogue. For the first time in Extinction, it is also possible to craft items, including some that change the properties of the Venom-X. Mayday was released on April 3rd in the Devastation DLC for Xbox players, and will be released a month later for PlayStation and PC players.
