A free, fast team shooter where two sides of mercenaries attack and defend objectives across a battered London.
Who can play
- No split-screen on any platform.
- Online for up to 16 players on PC.
- Free to play.
How it plays
Two teams fight over objectives such as escorting a vehicle or planting a charge, and each player brings up to three mercenaries with different roles, from medics to engineers.
Reviving and resupplying teammates matters more than solo aim, so a group that talks does well.
The last update came in 2018, but in 2026 the developer brought back server rentals, so a group can rent its own server and play among themselves.
