A battle royale escape inspired by Tarkov and the Marauders escape shooter is intended to make the game more balanced and prevent the overall experience from being ruined by limiting the number of ranges players can use on their weapons, PCGamesN revealed. , developer of Small Impact, at Gamescom 2022.
The game is set in a dystopian space future where World War I never ended. In Marauders, you play as part of a small team that must hack enemy spaceships and seize all the resources and supplies before returning to your base. From what we have seen so far, it is based on small but very intense PvP battles where each shot can be fatal for both you and your opponent.
To keep gameplay balanced, Small Impact makes a unique decision, compared to battle royale competitors like Tarkov and Warzone, to limit players’ ability to use crosshairs. Initially, the team didn’t want to use scopes at all. However, Marauders will now have at least some extended range scopes, but these will only be available for a small number of weapons.
In Small Impact terms, this should ensure that the Marauders’ intense and intelligent gameplay isn’t interrupted by spray-and-pray based SMG tactics. The goal is to move slowly, plan your infiltration, and take out enemies using maneuvers and abilities. Without a scope, players will be tempted to shoot and shoot until they hit something.
But put them on every weapon, and it becomes too easy to shoot and kill, undermining the severity and intensity of each fight. It’s a bold move, especially since ranges, whether medium or long, are taken for granted in shooters like Tarkov and Warzone, but Small Impact seems to be trying to change the pace of the game.
Also contributing to this, instead of the traditional player name and health bar being used to differentiate who is on your team and who is the enemy, the Marauders will trick you into synchronizing your armor color and that of your squad. . This means relying on one’s senses and target identification, rather than the game’s user interface, ostensibly to make the Marauders game feel more real. Changing the color of your armor will cost a small amount of in-game currency; at this time it is unclear if this will only be available in-game or if it will require a real money purchase.
We are looking forward to Marauders, which is coming out in October on Steam Early Access, and you can spend your time playing other Battle Royale games or maybe the best FPS or multiplayer games. PCGamesN reports live from Gamescom 2022 and will continue to bring you exclusives for all the top games featured there.
