“Players explore the open world environment, gather resources, create weapons (eg spears, machine guns, explosives) and defend themselves against wild animals and other players. Players can attack and kill enemies in insane battles, with successful hits leading to large blood spatters Players may continue to shoot animals or people on the ground (ie posthumous damage), accompanied by large blood splatter effects.
“Battles are highlighted by realistic gunfire and explosions. If human enemies are killed, they can be harvested for body parts and cooked for food.”
