Mayhem Mode

Unleash devastating superpower moves when your Mayhem bar is full.

Mayhem Mode

In *Agents of Mayhem*, Mayhem abilities are superpower moves that greatly aid the player in combat. As players deal damage to enemies with their weapons, they accumulate points that fill up a bar. When the bar is filled, players can utilize the agent's Mayhem ability. Different agents have different Mayhem abilities. For example, Fortune can use her drone, GLORY, to stun enemies, while Hollywood can trigger massive explosions around him.

Lore & Background

Each of the twelve playable M.A.Y.H.E.M. agents has their own unique play-style and abilities, including a distinct Mayhem ability. For instance, Fortune, a Colombian former sky pirate, uses her drone GLORY to stun enemies. Hollywood, a Canadian actor and proclaimed 'Face of Mayhem,' can trigger massive explosions around him. These abilities are fueled by dealing damage to enemies, filling a bar that, once full, allows the agent to unleash their superpower move. The game encourages players to switch between the three agents they have selected freely and experiment with different combinations to find a trio that suits their playstyle.

In Their Own Story

During the mission to stop Dr. Babylon, the Franchise Force (Fortune, Hardtack, and Hollywood) is sent to kill him but fails. Later, when Babylon uses his lieutenant August Gaunt to brainwash fans and turn Seoul against M.A.Y.H.E.M., the agents confront him at his concert and shut down his technology. In another operation, M.A.Y.H.E.M. agents destroy the Red AISHA after Purple AISHA defects. The climax sees agents enter a rift to battle Babylon and his recreated minions, eventually destroying the dark matter crystal that Babylon was using to rewrite reality.

Reader's Guide

To use a Mayhem ability, first select a trio of agents from the twelve available. During combat, deal damage to enemies with your weapons to accumulate points that fill the Mayhem bar. Once the bar is full, you can activate the current agent's Mayhem ability. Each agent has a unique Mayhem ability—for example, Fortune's drone GLORY stuns enemies, while Hollywood triggers massive explosions. You can switch freely between your three selected agents during gameplay to use their different Mayhem abilities as their bars fill. Experiment with different agent combinations to find which trio's Mayhem abilities best suit your playstyle.
