SHRAP

1. Project introduction

SHRAPNEL is an intensely competitive AAA extraction shooter game on PC, where true ownership and real-world value are offered to players for the first time – featuring skill-based play, creative modding tools, and a community marketplace.

In SHRAPNEL, players are tasked with finding and extracting valuable resources, entering the The Zone as Operators for one of the MEFs. Many other operators are also vying for these resources in The Zone, resulting in a tense, high-stakes, competitive environment that encourages risk-taking and rewards skill.

Players outfit their Operators with gear to fit their desired play-style before entering The Zone. Gear (in the form of NFTs) is dropped on death, forcing players to weigh constantly shifting odds of success in every choice they make. In addition to the gear dropped by Operators killed in action, players can also collect the mysterious Compound Sigma. After collecting their loot, players must fight their way to one of several contested extraction locations — and survive long enough to escape and claim it as their own.

Successfully extracted loot (NFTs) are then placed in the player’s persistent inventory, which the player uses to build their load-outs in future sessions.
