Gaijin Entertainment and Matter Team announce the release of “250 Shades of Liberty,” a major update for the hardcore online shooter Active Matter. For the first time, operatives will be able to embark on a full-scale raid through the streets of a ruined North American metropolis, expand their arsenals with new modern firearms, and take advantage of even more options for detailed, realistic weapon customization. The update is available for the early version of Active Matter shortly before the full game launches on September 15 on Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S – with a few more surprises still in store for launch.
One of the update’s biggest additions is the Downtown raid, which takes players into an American metropolis abandoned by its inhabitants. Firefights unfold among crumbling skyscrapers, broad avenues, abandoned school buses and yellow cabs. The city is far from deserted, however: its streets are patrolled by former police officers and SWAT operatives transformed by active matter, who have retained both their weapons and their combat skills.
The update expands the arsenal with the American M14, M39 EMR and SCAR-H rifles, the P17-V pistol, and other weapons. Active Matter also now features variable-magnification scopes, new pistol and foregrips, red-dot sights for handguns, laser sights, suppressors and a wide variety of mounting adapters. These allow players, for example, to fit modern Picatinny-mounted optics to weapons equipped with dovetail mounts, or raise a sight higher when the factory front sight obstructs the view. Weapon camouflage is now available as well.
Operatives also have more vehicles at their disposal, including an American armored vehicle, a classic 1978 off-roader and several iconic Soviet vehicles. Car horns and engine noise can scare off certain monsters, while the powerful floodlights mounted on buggies can blind enemies.
On September 15, hardcore shooter Active Matter launches on Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, giving players a proper taste of realistic gunplay. Vaseline not included.
