This is a free-to-play Battle Royale experience featuring a huge and incredibly detailed new map, and a host of innovations. There is a special “extraction mode” known as DMZ with the main premise being about choosing your own experience within the warzone, working socially if you wish, and collecting gear to keep in your inventory and utilize from match to match. The biggest warzone map ever, Al Mazrah, has you dropping into a massive metropolitan area featuring coastal towns, depots, desert, rocky peaks, subterranean spaces, industrial areas, rivers, and an entire city to explore. Reconnoiter by land, air... and water including rivers, lakes, parts of the ocean, and more water-logged locations. Clandestine swimming up river tributaries, underwater ambushes and exploration, as well as quicker movement courtesy of the RHIB or Armored Patrol Boat is all possible, expanding your combat options considerably. You’ll have the chance to pilot, drive, or steer over a dozen new vehicles including Tactical Vehicle, UTV, Light Tank, Heavy Chopper, and Rigid Inflatable Boat and customize them with a skin. Expect to climb or drop onto vehicles, damage tires and doors, shoot out windows, and be on the lookout for gasoline, as every vehicle (including boats and helicopters) gradually runs out of fuel. Enhanced Buy Stations serve locations to buy and upgrade equipment and weapons, including the custom weapons you created before dropping in. Expect variations within the Circle Collapse. One possible occurrence may be the result of extreme weather pattern anomalies resulting in the safe zone splitting into multiple Circles throughout a match that reconverge into a single safe zone as the match gets closer to the final circle. The Gulag is a live-fire training complex as well as a prison, where foes need to be neutralized, and sometimes partnered with? You’re dropped into a multi-level arena with only your fists, and a plan to loot, shoot, and win a decisive 2v2 battle before you’re allowed back into the big map for a second chance at victory. Optionally, your Gulag combat can include searching for an AI combatant known as “The Jailer”, dropping him, and using his key as the means of escape. Don’t forget to loot as you go; that gear comes with you if you win. Taking on AI combatants is optional but in Strongholds, expect locked doors and a high density of AI combatants with a variety of innovative features to their responses depending on your tactics. Conquer a Stronghold and expect impressive loot, including an item that allows you to purchase one of your customized Gunsmith weapons at The Shop for free. |
