Loadout is a free to play game up for early access on Steam. Why would you pay for free for loot, spacebux, xp and early access of course. Here’s what has me itching to send some dollars to Loadout developer Edge of Reality, they might have out done Borderlands billions of guns idea. Sacrilege, I know but hear me out.
So in Borderlands you got guns but you only got what was given to you or dropped by enemies however I always wondered why Marcus couldn’t make you a new gun out of parts from a pile of crappy guns. Loadout lets you customize all the parts of your gun, stock, chassis, barrel, bullets, etc. Adding up all the crazy combos looks like it could yield combos that are just as insane as the ones found in the land of borders only this time you’re in control to make the gun feel just how you want.
So yes this third person shooter might not have the land of Pandora or the story of the vault hunters but Loadout has the crazy customization gun hook and over the top gore I’ve been looking for. To get in the closed beta right now you can throw out $19.99 for the Pain Bringer Pack, $39.99 for the Absolute Badass Pack or big baller’s can throw in $89.99 for the Founder’s Pack each with increasingly more digital goodies. Head past the jump to see Loadout in action and check out the press release if you’re curious on the nitty gritty of digital loot you’ll receive should you pony up some funds.
