Beat Hazard Shadow Operations Unit

Beat Hazard Shadow Operations Unit adds nine ships to Beat Hazard, each with its own handling, firing patterns and abilities. You complete missions assigned to each ship, earn mission stars and promotions, and work your way up to Shadow Force Elite to unlock more craft.

The Shadow Fleet

The ships offer different approaches to combat. One concentrates its firepower into a tight beam, dealing heavy damage when you can aim accurately and move quickly. Another deals more damage per second than any other ship, but is slow and heavy. Other designs include a fast, nimble ship; an agile three-beam craft; and a large ship with powerful engines, slow bullets and a wide turning radius.

The fleet also includes an Auto-Aim ship with balanced firepower and manoeuvrability, one that draws in pickups across the screen, and an all-rounder with a wide field of fire. A ship that fires in every direction can help you stay among the action while covering against incoming missiles.

Create and share ships

The in-game editor supports Steam Workshop, letting you design ships for the Shadow Fleet and download ships made by other players. You can test downloaded ships by completing their missions.

Missions and leaderboards

Each ship has its own Shadow Missions and its own leaderboard. Complete missions to earn stars and promotions, gain access to more craft, and compete for the top spot on each ship’s board.
