Release date May 31st 2018

In the far distant future, a mysterious alien race set its sights on nothing less than the conquest of the Earth and the total annihilation of the human race. To counteract this threat the nations of Earth formed the EDC (Earth Defense Corps) and launched an all-out counter attack. Despite humanity's best efforts, the alien invaders superior technology proved too much to overcome and they took over most of the planet.

With enemy forces at the gates of the last fortress of the EDC and the fate of the planet hanging in the balance, the leaders of Earth's forces decide on a desperate course of action: throw everything they had left at the enemy's headquarters. With the help of the erratically brilliant "Dr. AKEMI," the goal is no less than the destruction of the very heart of the alien stronghold.

Features of Quad Fighter K include:

It's Dangerous to Go Alone

Equipment

Every Hunter worth his or her salt needs to be properly prepared before encountering the supernatural. Adequate weaponry, ammunition and body armour are required, and an experienced Hunter knows when to use which, according to the prey they are chasing.

## Weapons

From the humble Nail Gun to the devastating Micro Bazooka, the right weapon for the job can mean the difference between a safe and triumphant return, to no return at all. Means to hunt one's prey abound, and can be further customized with weapon attachments and ammunition.

As general recommendation, if you have a good aim then the shotgun will give you the best damage per hit, also killing many creatures with only one shot. It struggles anyway in situations with many small attackers around you (for that an automatic pistol is the best coupling). Just remember that cheaper shotgun have blank-point (max damage only with closer distance and almost no damage at long range).

In all other situations a rifle is the best compromise for medium damage at any distance with less reloading.

## Armour

*"The best defense is a good offense"* as the saying goes, but whoever said that didn't have to deal with packs of rabid Ghouls for a living. While, it's true, a good weapon will take you far, a good armour will make sure you can come back to tell the tale. Much like armament, choosing the right body armour, footwear and headgear for the job is crucial for the prospective Hunter. Each piece of armour can also be customized to the wearer's liking, through judicious use of Accessories.

As general recommendation, try to have the higher armor you can to mitigate the damage inflicted to you. If heavy armor can have 70% damage mitigation while reducing your mobility, you can still have easily 60% with a more balanced equipment.
