One is also able to rent equipment for speed and armor. A range of weapons are available including rifles, sniper rifles, machine guns, handguns, shotguns, melee, and grenades.

Weapons are not mod-able like other first person shooters, but once they are purchased, they are permanent and stay in inventory until they are resold by the player.

Players rank up after receiving enough experience points, gained after each match, with bonus rewards at certain ranks.

Graphics update
