Playtesting a New PvPvE Extraction Shooter Beta Session
Master early-game decision-making, from loadout selection to strategic location targeting, while evaluating core mechanics like inventory and the volatile extraction sequence in this limited-content playtest.
Short Summary
- Identify crucial early inventory management systems, including the "safe pocket" for securing critical items.
- Team strategy coalesced around high-action zones, prioritizing engagement at the Control Tower over slow looting.
- Confirmed that the current build features significantly reduced content compared to previous tests, focusing heavily on server stability testing.
- Effective early weapon usage favors firearms like the Pharaoh and the Anvil revolver for competitive engagements.
- Players must quickly utilize the workshop to build benches, recycle unwanted loot, and manage skill points for movement buffs.
This session documents the initial experience in a new PvPvE title, focusing on learning enemy behaviors (like aggressive Arc engagement), coordinating multi-squad wipes, and dealing with the constant pressure to extract before the raid window closes. Use these observations to guide your initial competitive strategies in the beta.

Finals devs goated
Idk if they notice it any point but the reason the game seems so slow and like a walking sim at first is because your first 4 matches are on essentially “bubble blowing baby” mode, says so on the deploy screen. Probably a bad move by Embark because reading is hard for people and they’ll just think the game is boring.
my game of the year. i can't say enough about the audio design... I've never witnessed something like this, I've been playing videogames since 1992
Never played before but seeing him put the green item into the safe pocket upon learning what is was was hilarious. Bro JUST found an epic item im weak
What's really cool with the enemies (arc) in this game is that they learn moving and flying during the game (AI). If you shoot the wings of a drone it will try to learn flying again in real time which is why they move so unpredictably. The spider like robots have physics on each leg and try to work around terrain, if you shoot one of it's legs it learns moving without that one. They also observe player behavior and adapt accordingly.
Watching charlie loot bodies and leave sheild rechagers gave me anxiety.
Thank you for your content I'm paralyzed from the neck down so I'm entertained by watching this you're awesome
I don’t play extraction games, but I think I just may try this one out. Environment is such a vibe it reminds me of the movie Oblivion Update: Game has consumed me!
1:51:51 Charlie missing that Lv.4 Ferro hurt my soul 💀 He would’ve absolutely loved that. Just a Lv.3 has quick reload speed, for faster shooting.
putting the shield recharger in the safe pocket instead of the pink item is an insane method
