The lucky few indents with one in possession are usually very keen to show them off, regardless of if it´s a good time or not.*The Persuader weapon will be added to your inventory when you reach Cluster 13 upon completion of Mission 1. — The Ascent is a solo and co-op Action-shooter RPG, set on Veles, a packed cyberpunk world.Welcome to The Ascent Group arcology, a corporate-run metropolis stretching high into the sky and filled with creatures from all over the galaxy.
