Schicksal HQ, is a special area where Captains can fight Mechs and accomplish missions in an open world setting. Similar to a typical adventure game, there is no loading after entering, as the entire map is seamless. Enemies and collection nodes will spawn randomly and main storyline quests (as well as side Adventure Tasks) can be accomplished.
Monsters encountered in the storyline and roaming the open world use Dynamic Difficulty.
