- The Illuminate expansion introduces the Appropriators sub‑faction plus three foes: Veracitor for close‑quarters assaults, Gatekeeper for ranged fire, and Obtruder as a pack‑hunting Watcher variant.
- Planet‑wide Exostorm hazards arrive alongside a new Destroy Exospire mission that tasks squads with dropping shields at access nodes before destroying Dark Fluid cells in the core.
- Balance changes include buffs to several stratagem support weapons and flame weapons, with most enemies becoming confused while burning.
