The Burst

The Burst is a high-speed VR shooter set on Damag, a desert prison planet where convicts are preparing to rebel. You are sent to eliminate an infamous warlord, restore order and escape.

Movement and combat

Move using your hands and body rather than stick movement. You can jump, climb, slide, run along walls and surf rails across the landscape. Combat combines parkour, vehicles, a grappling hook and more than ten weapons, which you can carry behind your back or swap on the fly with the hook.

The grappling hook is also a combat tool: use it to grab weapons from a distance, disarm opponents, throw them into pits and cause environmental destruction. You can drive Mirage, a reverse trike built for the deserts of Damag.

Factions and locations

You face different factions with their own rules, including the wild, barbaric Shelldogs and the ruthless, pyromaniac Boomboys. Damag includes harsh deserts, deserted outposts and abandoned cities overrun by warring gangs, in a world collapsed after a nuclear catastrophe.

Story and lore

The game presents a surface story alongside a larger body of lore. You can follow the main story or explore the lore in greater depth.
