Defect

Defect is a cyberpunk, SWAT sim set in the last city of mankind, where The System, an authoritarian AI, rules with inhuman logic. Choose from a collection of dangerous factions—The System's own policing force, Rogue Police Elements, or a host of gangs vying for power. Play in Single-player for a deeper offline experience, or play with friends in PvP or PvE Co-op. Compete to achieve objectives like smuggling guns, assassinating targets, or arresting suspects. Suit up with state-of-the-art weaponry and technology to give you the edge you need to live another day.

  • Control Vs Chaos: Fight as the feared forces crushing humanity beneath the boot of the law or the gang factions killing anyone on the path between them and full control of the city.
  • Under The System: Explore the decaying sectors where The System's grip fractures and chaos seeps in. Play offline in a challenging, Single-Player mode, or join forces in a dedicated PvE Co-op mode built for tactical coordination.
  • Dynamic Action: Face off against rival squads in PvP. Fight in tense and tactical matches as a member of a four-person squad, as you attempt to fend off other teams eager to claim every credit and reward for their own. Every match has multiple objectives that can change dynamically throughout a deployment.
  • Prepare For Anarchy: Come together with your squad to gear up and collect what you need in your squad vehicle or gang hangout to be ready for anything the battle throws at you. While in the fight, keep a keen eye out for pickups that can change the course of the match. You never know what you'll find.
