STALCRAFT: X is hinting at a new Covenant conflict with Typhoon in the Temple Swamp. A July 27 Steam announcement describes rumors spreading through the faction, but it stops short of confirming who may be preparing to move.
The Covenant message centers on the SSPP unit’s presence in what the faction considers sacred territory. Typhoon is described as a new threat, and the Metropolitan has reportedly urged the Covenant not to confront the group in open combat.
That appeal has not settled the matter. The announcement presents Covenant fighters as increasingly frustrated with what they see as weakness from their leadership. One faction voice argues that allowing Typhoon to remain in the area could invite more SSPP forces to follow.
The warning takes an even sharper turn when the speaker declares that the Covenant will bring Typhoon “peace through suffering.” That wording suggests that at least some members are ready to ignore the order to avoid a direct clash.
What Could Happen in Temple Swamp?
The rumors point toward an unnamed Covenant squad operating in the Temple Swamp, though no unit name, objectives, or timetable have been revealed. The announcement instead leaves the outcome in the hands of the conflict and the players involved.
Typhoon’s arrival has already raised questions about its place among the Zone’s factions, and an earlier quest centered on Typhoon’s position framed the unit as a new force that could alter existing relationships.
For now, the Covenant appears divided between the Metropolitan’s command and the fighters who want to answer Typhoon with violence. Whether the rumored squad becomes an active part of the conflict remains unclear.
