Shatterline has revolutionized the world of web2 gaming by choosing to combine intense PvE elements and a robust Web3 ecosystem. In this article, we'll delve into the highlights of the game, with a focus on how its Web3 economy enriches the player experience.

Introduction to Expedition Mode

• In Shatterline, Expedition Mode is one of the most exciting PvE experiences. Here, squads of three players are sent into the Faroes Impact Zones, infested by the Crystalline and Strafer.

• Teams must complete randomly generated primary objectives to earn rewards before facing a challenging final boss.

• As you progress through the mission, the difficulty increases and the contamination of the environment intensifies, introducing additional threats that force players to carefully plan their strategy. Main Features:

• Duration: Between 15 and 75 minutes per match.

• Starting Equipment: G5 Earl base pistol and a designated melee weapon.

• Objectives: Complete four main missions and one final event.

• Scaling Difficulty: With each objective completed, the difficulty and rewards increase.

• Extraction: Players can choose to extract at any time to secure their rewards.

Enemies and Contamination Effects

Contamination is a critical mechanic that increases in difficulty over time. Contamination effects introduce unique challenges that can quickly overwhelm an unprepared team. Examples of Contamination Effects:

• Chasers: Flying tentacles that attach to players, dealing continuous damage.
• Meteor Strike: Waves of meteorites that deal massive damage in marked areas.
• Ball Lightning: Spheres that electrocute and stun players. Each expedition features optional bosses that can be ignored, but offer significant rewards if defeated These include:
• Cyborg Stilt: You need to disable his shield before dealing damage.
• Bomber Dogs (Specimen Grinder): Protect yourself from Hounds and use their spikes to break the boss's shield.
• Urchin: Destroy floating stones to disable its shield and damage the central orb.

Rewards and Resources in the Web3 Economy

Shatterline is innovating by aiming to integrate into its future seasons (beyond Season 1) a solid Web3 ecosystem, powered by Faraway, in which players not only earn traditional rewards like XP and credits, but also blueprints, shards, spores, and red matter that can be used to upgrade weapons and skills.

• Through various activities and objectives, players accumulate resources that allow them to progress through their skill trees and optimize their equipment for future expeditions.

• The game introduces the ability to extract resources from specific activities, Chosen Stashes, and defeating sector bosses.

Team Dynamics and Strategy in the Game

The emphasis on teamwork is crucial in Shatterline. Cooperation is necessary to overcome difficult encounters and reap maximum rewards.

• Players must coordinate when using abilities, defending positions, and facing powerful bosses.
• Strategic use of perks obtained from supply crates, such as increasing ammo capacity or causing enemies to explode when defeated, can provide critical advantages at higher levels of contamination.

On the other hand, exploring the map for Lost Supply Boxes and Chosen Stashes can provide significant upgrades to a team's skills and equipment, which is vital to overcoming the Impact Zone's toughest challenges.

The Future of the Shatterline Ecosystem

• The integration of Web3 elements into Shatterline and the link to Faraway suggests an evolution of the monetization model of traditional games, allowing players to participate in building the game.

• As the game continues to evolve, we may see the implementation of more NFTs beyond HV-MTL drones, tradable in and out of the game's ecosystem, and decentralized economies that allow us to monetize achievements and skills in Shatterline.
