Key features of Cyber Hunter include:
Sky’s the limit: With climbing, swimming and gliding capabilities, players can take to the seas and skies to surprise their opponents from above or below, adding a whole new dimension to strategic arena gameplay. With an already sizable 6-by-6 km arena, Cyber Hunter adds new virtual terrains for players to explore, master, and use to their advantage in battle.
Quantum cube energy: With the help of quantum droids, players have the amazing ability to convert quantum cubes into almost anything! Whether it’s a 12 meter high watchtower, a fortress to defend teammates, or even a drone to spy on enemies, quantum cubes can be used to enhance a player’s chosen skill in combat and turn the tide for the team in battle.
Versatile weaponry and vehicles: With five types of weapons in Cyber Hunter(including SMG, Rifle, Sniper Rifle, Shotgun, and Throwables), players can find a type and special attack that aligns with their style of play and customize its upgrades. Whether it’s upgrading a shotgun to heal teammates in friendly fire or having a grenade launcher specialize in destroying buildings, players can personalize weapons and their upgrades to suit their playstyles and complement the team. Whatever terrain the team faces, there is a car, boat or plane to help them across. But not only do these vehicles offer transport, they can also possess special abilities such as the Windrider that can transform into a plane or the Cerberus that can transform into a battle mecha!
