EMPULSE

EMPULSE is a fast-paced 6v6 movement shooter where movement is the weapon. Outmove and outgun your opponents across the post-utopian streets of Freehold, chain wall-runs into grapple swings into mid-air kills, and fight for Crews to control mechs for the ultimate power spike.

MOVEMENT IS FREEDOM

Movement is the foundation on EMPULSE. Every district in Freehold is built for chaining movement together and finding your flowstate. Here’s a look at the toolkit:

• Wall-running: Run forwards and backwards, chain almost any mechanic into a wall-run, and ride virtually every vertical surface on the map. 

• Grapple hook: Build momentum, swing around cover, whip into a wall-run faster than you could on foot, or hook an enemy to reel them in for a one-hit melee. 

• Holojumps and jetpacks: launch off boost pads to keep the movement chain alive.

• P.A.I.N.T. Bombs: Reshape any surface with Jump, Speed, Explosive, Heal, and Sticky P.A.I.N.T. Bombs to gain the advantage in fights.

Grapple into a wall-run, swing into a Holojump, slide into Speed P.A.I.N.T. In EMPULSE, every move flows into the next

CLAIM THE MECH. CONTROL THE FIGHT.

Mechs are the most contested objective in a match. They act as a power spike that spawns mid-round and forces your team to fight for control. Two of them spawn at the center of the map at a time, and whoever claims one is piloting a machine built to take over a round. A claimed mech comes loaded with a full kit:

• Chaingun that ramps up the longer you hold the trigger

• Rockets that delete anyone caught in sight

• Melee that hits enemies for heavy damage and knocks them back

• Deployable bubble shield to lock down a position or act as cover

• Charge jump that launches the mech high into the sky, then slams down with a shockwave, crushing anyone caught underneath on impact

• Dash to reposition with surprising speed, especially for something so massive
