Crates fall from the sky all over the map. Grab them, carry them home and keep them in your warehouse... or steal the enemy's while they're not looking. Their glow tells their rarity: common, rare, epic or legendary.
Place the crates on your 3×3 pad: the shape you build decides what you get, and the crates' rarity decides how good it is. A rifle, a tank, a squadmate who has your back, or a potion that turns you into a bush. 20+ recipes, plus a few secret ones.
From a baseball bat and a frying pan to the minigun, the RPG, the grenade launcher, C4 and mines. Smoke, flashbang, sticky and molotov grenades... and riot shields. With ragdoll physics: everything goes flying.
Buggy, humvee with a mounted gun, a truck for hauling crates, and a tank. Your squadmates hop in and shoot from their seats.

HQ Assault: blow up the enemy HQ with explosives and protect yours.
Team Deathmatch: the most kills wins.
5 Minutes to Gear Up: a truce to craft, then no respawns: last team standing wins.
Steal the Crate: bring the enemy's golden crate back to your base.
Zones: capture and hold the zones on the map.
Hide and Seek: disguise yourself as a bush or a crate... or find them.
Plus stackable modifiers: knockback ×3, low gravity, crate rain, C4 for everyone, fast crafting and double health.
Up to 4 teams online, with friends on the same team or against each other. Bots to fill the teams, or just you against them. And AI squadmates under your command: they follow you, gather crates, attack or defend your base.
Forest, desert, snow, swamp and city, for 2 or 4 teams. By day, at sunset or at night with flashlights. Rain, snowfall, fog, sandstorms, and wind that pushes your grenades off course.
