Defect

Revel in the anarchy of a city on the brink. Defect is an Immersive Objective Shooter set in the last city of mankind, where The System, an authoritarian AI, rules with inhuman logic. Players will choose from a collection of dangerous factions—The System's own policing force, Rogue Police Elements, or a host of gangs vying for power to play with friends in PvP or co-op multiplayer. 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 totalitarian forces crushing humanity beneath the boot of the law or the gang factions killing anyone between them and full control of the city.
  • Dynamic Action: 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 with different finales.
  • Prepare For Anarchy: Come together with your squad to gear up and collect what you need in your squad car 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.
