ShockRods

ShockRods is an arena shooter where you fight on foot? No—its arena combat takes place in customisable vehicles called ShockRods. Matches support 6v6 teams or up to 12 players in free-for-all, with PvP and PvE play. You drive nimble but tough vehicles equipped with multidirectional boosters for rapid direction changes and jumps, and use weapons and power-ups in fast-paced battles.

Arenas and modes

The six environments range from natural desert and woodland areas to purpose-built battle arenas. Their layouts let you use your vehicle’s manoeuvrability and support both 6v6 and free-for-all matches.

The game includes five modes:

• Death Match: fight to eliminate opponents.
• Team Death Match: battle as part of a team.
• Capture The Flag: compete in the classic team mode.
• Golden Ram: a mode inspired by the juggernaut.
• Shockball: protect your team’s ball carrier as they head for the opposing goal, or take out opponents and carry the ball to the goal yourself.

Vehicles and weapons

You can customise your ShockRod’s body style, colour, patterns, wheels and tyres, as well as its taunt effects and sounds. These customisation options are cosmetic and can be unlocked with currency earned based on your battle performance.

Weapons and power-ups are placed around each environment for you to collect. The arsenal includes Miniguns, Rocket Launchers, Grenade Launchers, the Balloon Cannon, the Freeze Gun and the Ram power-up.
