Update 1.0.5 introduces the Gravity Well, a dangerous new enemy appearing in Overclock, Endurance, and Universe.
The Gravity Well initially drifts quietly across the arena. Shooting it activates the anomaly, causing it to pull nearby enemies and your ship toward its core. Its gravity also distorts the grid and bends projectiles fired from a distance, forcing pilots to move closer for an accurate shot.
Every enemy consumed increases the Gravity Well’s score value and salvage reward. However, allowing it to consume too many enemies will trigger a critical collapse, sending a distortion wave across the entire field and releasing a swarm of hostile shards.
Firing into the well increases the number of enemies it can consume before collapsing, but its reinforced core requires sustained fire to destroy. It also survives player deaths, so once one enters the arena, the threat remains until you deal with it.
