There are six regions in all.Ĭompleting Survey Missions will also unlock character models, audio clips, and speaking portraits in the Muster Roll. It is necessary to complete 80% of the missions in the first five regions to unlock all five epilogue missions in Attack Mode. They are grouped by region and new regions unlock as the majority of missions in previous regions are completed. Unlike Attack Mode, the player is free to play as any character they have unlocked, even the first time through, and Survey Missions can also be played with multiple people via online multi-player. True Attack Mode is also available for Survey Missions. As with regular Attack Mode missions, difficulty is represented by a number of stars (☆) ranging from 1 to 10. The player is graded on performance and Dire Subjugation Targets, including Bizarre Titan variants, can be unlocked by fulfilling a set of criteria during the mission itself. Survey Missions operate in much the same way as the regular missions in Attack Mode.
