TECHNOCORE is a high-stakes drone infiltration game that lets you gather HEXes, decode them, then keep or trade them! Look, if people are going to leave their valuables lying around the place, they can’t blame you for picking them up. You’re doing your environmental duty in tidying up! But they probably can blame you for hacking their security drone in order to get said scattered shinies... SNEAK PAST SECURITY TECHNOCORE takes place at a sprawling desalination plant loaded up with security turrets. Luckily for you, one of their drones is malfunctioning, making it an easy target to hack! With it, you’ll be scouting out valuable HEX boxes; HEXes that can be decoded to reveal amazing item parts*. WORK ON YOUR FIXER-UPPER You’ll start off with a trusty level-one drone to zip around in, but to pull off those super-daring dives for loot, you’re going to need a better model. When you complete a level, you’ll earn experience points and level up, which grants you various rewards, such as HEX boxes. You’ll also earn RIP; this is used to buy upgrades for your drone. Tougher body, more energy — turn your drone into a security turret’s worst nightmare. SALTY SENTRIES Speaking of security turrets, brace yourself for a warm welcome. Super warm. No, really. It can’t get much warmer than shooting your drone until it explodes into a ball of flames, right? Love you too, alarmingly aggressive turrets. Sadly, your drone doesn’t come equipped with a gun to shoot back, so you’re going to have to rely on your dexterity, speed, and cunning to fly under the radar. Good luck with that! CLIMB THE LEADERBOARD Want to show off your drone-flying skills? Earn points and see how you rank against other players on our leaderboard! The more you play, the more you level up, and the more points you earn. Feeling chaotic? Once you have maxed out your drone’s upgrades, you can opt to tear it back down to the starting level again in exchange for a healthy dose of points. This allows you to keep on scouring for loot and earning level-up rewards! REFRESHED REWARDS Searched high, low, and everywhere in between for swag to steal? Fear not! We’ll be refreshing and updating the loot on offer from time to time, so keep checking back to stay on top of the game. (*HEX boxes and GUN tokens earned in TECHNOCORE are stored on the GUNZ Companion App. Log in to the GUNZ Companion App with the same sign-in details used in TECHNOCORE to access your GUN tokens, the GUNZ marketplace, and decode your HEX boxes.) FEATURES - Outstanding Unreal Engine 5 visuals on mobile - Engaging upgrade system — stay on top of the challenge by improving your drone - Video tutorials presented by Max, based on and voiced by Altered Carbon author Richard Morgan - Pilot a drone, find loot, and survive! - Points system and leaderboard — compete with hackers around the world - NFT rewards mean what you find is yours to keep or trade!
