Described as a ‘Vertical Extraction Shooter’, DEADROP twists the typical Battle Royale formula by forcing players to fight through a towering skyscraper, as opposed to a sprawling island. As a competitive title at its core, the goal of DEADROP appears similar to the likes of Escape From Tarkov. Players will seemingly load into a match with their chosen loot and aim to extract with more valuable equipment. Between games, players are transported to a hub location known as the Hideout. While this area is barebones in the early build, it appears this is where loot can be traded, weapons can be tested, and loadouts can be customized.
