CRI Laboratories is a side branch to the third moon, Io. It contains the special level CRI Armory.
The levels are white rooms populated by mechs and human guards.
Enemies[]
- CRI guard
- CRI sergeant
- CRI commando
- CRI marine
- CRI turret
- CRI bot
Manufacturer Perk[]
Weapons found in the CRI Laboratories, not including AV or unique weapons, have the CRI manufacturer perk. This causes them to deal +25% damage to demons.
Branch Mission[]
Each level will have a demonic invasion starting 90 turns after entering. This will spawn a wave of archreavers, cryoreavers, and toxic reavers dependent on difficulty randomly throughout the level. The waves will continue one after another, with the interval between waves shortening by 10 turns each time, until either you leave the level, all CRI are dead, or 20 waves are cleared. Clearing all 20 waves will cancel the event entirely and no more waves will spawn, but you will receive no rewards.
When 2/3 or more of the CRI on the level are dead, you will receive a warning that CRI forces are suffering catastrophic losses. If all of the CRI have died, it will raise another warning that the invasion was successful. Receiving more than one of any such warnings will cause you to fail the event and you will receive no rewards.
Upon arriving at the CRI Armory, another invasion will occur much like in previous levels, however the demons will be concentrated mainly around the entrance. If you successfully defend the CRI and have killed less than 6 CRI units throughout the entire run, all locked doors will unlock automatically without the need of any keycards and you will receive the CRI Clearance, causing all non-corrupted CRI forces to become friendly to you. The CRI Clearance can be lost if you kill 2 or more non-corrupted CRI units after receiving it.
CRI Armory[]
CRI Armory has a central circular area with a number of roaming bots, including a single CRI bot Mk II, which carries a spare red keycard. In each corner, a room with 2 turrets and 2 CRI bots guards a locked keycard door. Behind the 4 locked doors are the level rewards. Once all 4 doors are unlocked, the central chamber will also open for an additional reward.
