Dinosaur battle shooting “Exoprimal” public test run, 10 kinds of “Assault Armor” introduction | 4Gamers

Capcom’s latest team competitive shooting game “Exoprimal”, after the closed test last summer, entered the next stage of public testing today (17th), and players around the world can also experience the initial innovation of the game first. Horns, Assault Armor and Basic Versus Mode.

The public test of “Exoprimal” is from March 17th to 20th. During this period, players can freely experience 10 types of assault armor, and join the 5v5 “Dinosaur Survival Battle”. Overall, it is similar to last year’s closed test process. This article will briefly introduce Background gameplay of the beta game and an initial guide to the 10 Assault Armors.

The starting point of everything comes from the “AIBIUS” enterprise, which is an extremely advanced technology group. At the beginning of the game, Ivy, the game robot publicist, brought a “Dinosaur Crisis” briefing, emphasizing that a large number of people are traveling through wormholes. Dinosaurs came and are currently attacking all over the world.

Fortunately, Abios has developed the savior of human beings, “Assault Armor”, so that humans can wear this bionic armor and go to the front line to resist dinosaurs. The new blood recruited by Abios is ready to participate in this war to save mankind from fire and water.

However, this confusing explanation led to the advertisement of Abios in the follow-up link, as if everything was not true.

In fact, the first battle you will face is also the so-called “Dinosaur Survival Battle”-it seems like a war game created by artificial intelligence Leviathan, and the truth behind it has yet to be clarified.

After finishing the basic novice teaching, players can participate in the main mode of this public test, “Dinosaur Survival Battle”, which is basically a 5-on-5 PvPvE confrontation mode.

There are two stages in the game. The first half is the PvE race “Dinosaur Annihilation” between two teams. The player team has to quickly rush to a certain location on the map and kill a specified number of dinosaurs. At the same time, Leviathan also Will always remind you if you are ahead or behind the progress of the enemy team.

The second stage came to the PvP link. Last year, four competitive modes were released, including “VTOL Defense Battle”, “Omega Charge”, “Escort Data Key”, and “Energy Battle”.

Taking “Escort Data Key” as an example, it is basically the cart mode of “Overwatch” that players are familiar with.

The two teams are divided into two different starting points on the map to escort the block key. There are paths open to each other to lead to the opposite side, and interfere or attack the enemy team. At the same time, they also have to deal with the continuous attack of dinosaurs. In the end, which team will get the key first Whichever team reaches the finish line wins.

There are currently 10 types of attack armor to choose from in the game, and the armor positioning is divided into three types: vanguard (output), tank (defense) and auxiliary (healing). As the name suggests, which type of armor has a relative advantage. The team’s tank replenishment plays the iron triangle.

Players can freely switch their favorite armor during the game mode, but when switching armor, they will first disengage from the armor, and then summon the armor according to the command. During this period, you will be very vulnerablelike little D.Va。

The following will briefly introduce the characteristics of the 10 types of storm armor.

Forward: Marksman

HP: 500

Left button: Assault Rifle | Right button: Precision Aim

Abilities: Grenade Launch, Shockwave, Roll Forward

Ultimate: Mass Volley

The most well-designed armor, the electric assault rifle with 40 rounds of magazines and incendiary grenades, is the main output to clean up the dinosaur monster group. It also has short-CD roll avoidance and close-range shock waves that knock back enemies in front. It is a cluster salvo missile with intensive firepower, which can effectively wipe out a large number of dinosaurs, or concentrate firepower against enemies ahead.

Although it has a comprehensive ability, the damage of the bullet will decrease gradually when the marksman exceeds a certain distance, and the ability to avoid and control the field is weak. Once locked or surrounded by monsters, it is difficult to escape, but it is suitable for novices. output armor.

Forward: Gale

HP: 350

Left button: Anti-riot walking stick｜Right button: Iron Mountain

Skills: Rising Dragon Kick (E), Shunpo (Q)

A melee fighter who controls the field.

However, Gale’s health is only 350 points, which is quite low, so it must rely on the evasion of the Shunpo skill (which can be used twice in a row) to create a gap, and the ultimate can shorten the cooldown time of all skills, allowing Gale to play more consecutive spells in a short time moves.

Forward: Fire Net

HP: 500

Left button: Crossbow grenade gun｜Right button: Detonate grenade

Skills: Grenade, Explosion Avoidance

Ultimate: Blazing Heart

Firenet is basically similar to the Bomb Rat in Overwatch. It launches rolling explosive grenades as its main attack.

As an auxiliary skill, there are grenades that can stun the enemy, while the movement skill is explosion avoidance, which can knock nearby enemies into the air while using it, and then take a small step in one direction.

Huowang’s ultimate blazing heart is like a suicide bomb. It accelerates to sprint close to the enemy and triggers a big explosion. During the process, it will lose its own health (up to -300 HP), which is considered a very risky ultimate, but The explosive power is quite astonishing.

Pioneer: Sky Eye

HP: 350

Skills: Energy Shot, Ice Crystal Impact

Ultimate: Barrel Explosion

Sky Eye is a long-range specialized armor. Its sniper rifle can obtain the penetrating characteristic after being charged.

Tank: Roadhog

HP: 1000

Left button: Iron fist attack | Right button: Energy shield

Skills: provocation, step forward

Ultimate: Storm Ride

The standard tank armor can hold up a shield like Reinhardt in “Overwatch”. The shield can not only block bullets, but also physically block enemy units. However, Roadhog doesn’t have any ranged attacks, nor does he have the ability to move quickly.

The most interesting thing about Roadhog is the ultimate storm gallop. It will turn itself into a mobile tornado to trap enemy units. You can choose to continue to control the field, or release the tornado to push all enemy units away.

Tank: Warrior

HP: 900

Left button: Heavy machine gun｜Right button: Electroshock homing missile

Skills: Head-to-head duel, zipline jump

Dajue Mingjing Zhishui is less commonly used. Murasame draws his sword and charges up, and depending on the charging time, extends the attack range in front, and then explodes in one breath. Strictly speaking, Murasame does not have the ability to defend teammates, but relying on the tachi of the second class may attract many players to try.

Support: Witch Doctor

Health: 400

Left button: Witch Staff Electric Shock｜Right button: Chain of Healing

Skills: Repair Force Field, Tumbling Jump

Ultimate: Vitality Witchlight

The Witch Doctor is basically a healing armor, because his attack skills are limited to short-range electric rods, and the rest are healing-oriented skills.

The Great Absolute Extreme Explosion is to create a sound wave impact forward. The enemy unit will not only shake when it is hit, but will also be pushed all the way to the ground, but basically it does not cause much damage.
