Dagger Directive

Dagger Directive is a tactical action game in which you carry out missions as a member of Task Force Dagger, an elite international special forces unit. Across three campaigns, you disrupt an eco-terrorist operation in the frigid Bering Sea, fight organized crime in the volatile South Pacific and crush an extremist uprising in Eastern Europe. Each mission takes place in a large open area with multiple entry points, enemies and tactical challenges, and objectives you can approach from different angles.

You choose your loadout and the time of day, then decide whether to attack quickly or move stealthily. Use dense foliage, tall grass and shadows for cover, or shoot out lights to control the environment. Night operations call for night-vision goggles. The 15-mission campaign supports replay through its different tactical approaches, and you can also play missions in co-op, coordinating with your squad to flank and carry out objectives together.

Weapons and equipment

The arsenal includes over 25 customizable weapons and dozens of attachments. You can use an underbarrel shotgun to breach doors, suppressed SMGs to clear angles or rifles to engage targets at extreme range. Tactical equipment includes deployable drones, tripwires, anti-personnel mines and multiple grenade types.

Ballistics and combat

Bullets and shrapnel have weight, velocity and trajectory, simulated in real time. You adjust your scope for distance, lead moving targets and account for ricochets. Grenades also scatter fragments that follow real physics.
