Creative Assembly has just announced the second Survivor map pack for Alien Isolation, Trauma, and issued a challenge to the community:
“‘Trauma’, will see you exploring the three new maps as Sevastopol’s medical officer, Dr Lingard, who you may have already encountered in our main game.
Racked with guilt and feeling responsible for bringing the creature on board, she holds herself liable for the death and destruction that ravages the station as the Alien is unleashed.
Wanting to ensure that her research on the creature can never fall into the wrong hands, Lingard sets out to destroy all the data and do as much as she can to help the remaining survivors.
Playing as Lingard, you’ll be facing the challenge of competing against other players to get the fastest time and the highest points score across three new Survivor Mode maps, ‘Reoperation’, ‘Crawl Space’ and ‘Overrun’.”
Trauma is the second of five Survivor maps due out and is available from today.
impressive, i was on over 50 after my first hard playthrough.
A little test to prove it is next time you play in medical on hard (I'm fairly sure this will work in other areas too) when it's out and about but cant see you, go in a locker. If you wait for a bit the Alien is almost certain to turn up and stand outside your locker. I started avoiding them for this exact reason. Ironically I always found vents to be the safest place.
Yeah, on hard it's a persistent bastard. You have to try and slip away while it patrols your general area. On easier difficulties it'll wander away almost immediately. In fact I barely saw it on my easy run.
It did this to me on Hard mode in the campaign, it always knew where I was and would patrol in and around the room until I either waited for ages for it to go away for made a break for it. One tactic I learned was to just keep moving (walking obvs) and often it will be one step behind you when it comes out of the vents.

Actually happen?
is the season pass still 50% off?
I do wish they'd have done a proper story driven campaign but I'm able to enjoy these. Like I said before, Survivor reminds me a lot of Alien Trilogy and I really dig that.
If no one plays it, there was no point in making it to begin with.
That said, it's ultra boring, and yes the Alien will not normally enter certain areas by design... but he can chase you into them if you present a straight shot.
I wish it was more story driven DLC too but unfortunately I doubt we'll see it. I like the basic premise of Survivor. Reminds me a lot of Alien Trilogy.
That a shame. Are other reporting similar issues?
I'm downloading the updates now but I'm suddenly not as enthusiastic.
It's scripted not to appear at certain times, same as in the main game just not as obvious. For me it won't appear during the second and third maps no matter how much noise you make.
Yeah, I'm very much a 'story and characters' kind of gamer. It's the hardest thing (imo) that a game can pull off, and Isolation has buckets of story and intrigue that they could, but haven't, expanded on.
