Red Barrels games has finally come out with a new mode for people to try. Program Omega is a limited-time, end-game Program the developers have put out. If you thought Program X was challenging, look no further.
Program Omega was released in Early Access as aLimited Time eventin order for the developers to experiment.
Information in this article is subject to change.
How To Unlock Program Omega
Similarly to Program X, you need to havecompleted all the previous Programs from 1-3to be able to unlock Program Omega. While you can solo your entire journey through The Outlast Trials, your solo run will stop here.
►Program 3: Orphanage
►Program X
Program Omega must be completed in a group.You cannot play Program Omega without one. You may think playing in a group is easier than playing solo, but this is a new tactic to make things all the more challenging.
Program Omega Basics
Just like with Program X, Program Omega will allow you toreplay all the previous trials but with harder difficulty. There will be tons of different stakes and challenging tags per trial in Omega. One challenge that stays the same throughout each is Stay Together.
Developers suggest you should at least be level 20+ before starting Program Omega.Regardless, you are still able to play it if you are low-level.
A group is required to play Program Omega becausethe tag ‘Stay Together’ makes it so that you will die if you are not near your teammates. This is the biggest challenge. If you wander too far from your friends, you will start receiving damage until you are downed.
Stay Together makes surviving chases much harder.Communication and teamwork are vital for successin Program Omega.
The only way to succeed, apart from teamwork, is tounderstand each trial in and out. The previous Programs will have helped you practice the ins and out of each map and each mission.

How Program Omega Is Different
What makes Program Omega so different from the previous Programs? All the trials in Program X were anywhere from two to five times as hard as the original trials. The last trial in Program X is six times as hard. For Program Omega,every single trial is six times as hard as their originals.
For half of the trials in Program Omega, you willnot be able touse any Rigs. This is detrimental to many people’s playstyle as Rigs are one of the only ways todefend yourself against enemies.
Program X only had a few trials with Deadly Prime Assets that one-shot you.Every single trial in Program Omega will have Prime Assets that one-shot. This is the real deal. Not only must you stay with your teammates to not die, but if a Prime Asset finds one of you, it’s game over.

How To Survive Program Omega
Unfortunately,using Group Finder asa solo playeris probably the worst thing you may dofor this Program. Teamwork is important for every Program, but the fact that you start losing health when not near teammates really encourages communication.
If you don’t have a group of friends to play with, it is wise touse Voice Chat or call-outs in-game. Nothing will get done if you don’t know what your partners are doing and why. Distractions and last-minute decisions need to be communicated.
If you prefer not to use a microphone in-game, The Outlast Trials has the option toping automatic voice linesfrom a radial wheel, with voice lines such as “Group Up” or “Help.”
To activate thevoice comms wheel, hold down the middle mouse button on mouse or up on the D-pad on controller.
Memorize Every Map’s Layout
No longer can you rely on losing chase or having a friend take blows.Memorizing shortcutsand hiding places will allow you to complete objectives faster and not aggro an enemy.
For example, in Police Station Kill The Snitch, there will bea co-op wall once you enter the station. You should allow someone to hop over the wall and turn right to unlock a door from their side. This is a shortcut for the rest of the team to meet and go straight to the security room. It avoids the broken glass in the halls, potential enemies, and trap doors.
Memorize Every Task Objective
In Orphanage Feed The Children, you have to find bottles of bleach. There will be signs in the cafeteria saying something like two bottles this way and two bottles that way.You should always know where to be going.If you don’t, replay other Programs until you are confident enough.
When youknow where shortcuts areand know what you need to be doing at all times, it maximizes efficiency and your ability to complete objectives quickly so that you don’t have to deal with enemies for too long.
Since you might not be able to use a Rig, you should definitelyupgrade and purchase Amps and Prescriptionsin the Sleep Room. While Rigs may sometimes get disabled during trials, Amps, and Prescriptions won’t.
Lastly,make sure you are escaping chases by using hidespots and dark areas. You can’t sprint away from your teammates or you will slowly die (due to the challenge Stay Together), so if you and your teammates can’t follow each other efficiently, you must all make sure to use passive ways to end chase.
