Story and campaign scope

The 1.0 narrative layer is no longer optional side content — it is the endgame backbone.

Five storylines ship complete:

• Civil Resistance — rebel operations and recommended first arc.
• Tezctlan — revivalist military cells, rites, and pact density.
• Xiomara — Feathered Masks cross-faction arc with standing traps.
• AnCom — syndicate economics with two endings.
• RealWare — industrial robot security with two endings.

Nine endings include dedicated epilogues. Quasimorph Nine Endings Guide documents branch structure without spoiling dialogue. RealWare and AnCom each contribute dual endings; remaining arcs anchor single primary lanes with cross-faction interactions.

38 story missions mix flagged narrative contracts with standard assault, loot, defence, control, and security rules from Mission Types in Quasimorph.

Weapons, pacts, and augmentations

29 new guns expand Weapons pools across faction tiers — energy rifles, cut shotguns, pierce sidearms, and industrial exotics tied to RealWare stations. Balance passes punish single-damage loadouts harder on upgraded enemy armor; examine remains mandatory per Armor and Resistances.

142 pacts integrate with skull mechanics and storyline rites — especially Tezctlan and AnCom council beats. Full rules live in Pacts and Skull Mechanics.

Augmentations received new corporate and syndicate options affecting clone stats and loadout weight — see Augmentations and Body Mods for install trade-offs before finale deploys.

Phase Bomb recipe unlocks through Xiomara progression, RealWare before its fork, AnCom both branches, and Tezctlan rite chains — craft before branch missions per Quasimorph Nine Endings Guide.

Map Editor and mod manager

1.0 adds a Map Editor and integrated mod manager for community station layouts and balance experiments. Official tools ship inside the Steam client; read the wiki Map Editor Guide for UID range 10–21473, Core Map Pack folder rules, load order, and collision display. Wiki tools like Loadout Planner remain reference for kit prep on custom missions once mod docs stabilize.

Expect rapid iteration on editor hotkeys and export formats during Q3 hotfixes — Magnum Scriptum historically patched weekly during Early Access peaks.

Achievements

Steam lists 82 achievements at launch covering:

• Clean extracts and timed Defence contracts.
• Storyline completion and ending epilogues.
• Class mastery and hardship challenges.
• Quasimorphosis-sector survival gates.

Console commands invalidate achievement saves — use a clean campaign for trophy hunting. Full category breakdown and spoiler-light routing in Quasimorph Steam Achievements Guide.

Save compatibility

Launch’s most critical technical note:

• Default Early Access saves — not compatible with the 1.0 main branch in community testing. Start fresh or restore pre-1.0 backups for clean story flags.
• Unstable Beta saves — may load into 1.0 with progress intact; verify inventory and storyline flags mission by mission.
• Backup path — copy %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Magnum Scriptum\Quasimorph\ before branch switches; use Steam cloud rollback if slots corrupt.

Clone permadeath philosophy unchanged: unextracted loot still dies with the body.

Balance and systems at launch

1.0 revisits late Early Access tuning:

• Stance AP costs and sprint penalties.
• Examine value and resistance scaling with faction tech.
• Medkit stabilize-all behavior.
• Barter reputation floors — sub-zero standing still removes traders.

The Trade Shuttle rework adds three commerce modes beside station barter — barter by item type, reputation sell, and proxy cargo. Non-required items sell at reduced price. Read Trade Shuttle Guide alongside Bartering on the Magnum.

Combat fundamentals remain in Combat Stances and Getting Started with Quasimorph. Combat 1.0 adds deployable covers, four gas grenades, composite damage types, and thrown weapons separated from grenades — see Weapons and Midgame Combat.

Post-launch roadmap

Magnum Scriptum outlined a three-phase post-1.0 plan:

Q3 2026 — hotfixes — crash fixes, soft-lock missions, achievement triggers, barter edge cases, robot tuning on RealWare stations, and Map Editor stability.

Q4 2026 — Bestiary and QoL — in-game Bestiary for enemy examine data consolidation, controller and Steam Deck inventory polish, and quality-of-life for Magnum crafting flows.

2027 — DLC — expanded content beyond the 1.0 nine-ending set; details TBA on Steam news. Wiki Updates Hub will summarize when official posts land.
