In the upcoming battle royale action game with survival elements The Darwin Project, you must be particularly careful, as your traces can betray you.
The Darwin Project will not simply provide a standard battle royale player experience. Also, survival elements play an important role. Because in the Rocky Mountains, where the title is set, it will be bitterly cold. So it is possible that you freeze to death. Therefore, you must always keep warm – but that can lead to problems.
Campfires are essential, but dangerous
You get vital warmth from campfires. However, they also come with a disadvantage, as they betray your position to enemies. The fires can be seen from afar. So it is important to always proceed with caution when lighting a campfire. However, the tables can be turned. Light a campfire to lure enemies to your position, hide, and then take out the opponents from ambush.
Watch your tracks
Since a large part of the scenario takes place in deep snow, you leave footprints. These also reveal where you are. Enemies simply follow the tracks in the snow and can track you down. However, it is also possible to lure enemies into an ambush with a false trail.
Even when you craft something, you leave traces. Other players then get a notification that you crafted something at that location. You can also learn the position of your enemies by conducting a holographic search in the huts in the area.
So in The Darwin Project, it is necessary to be even more careful and tactical than in other battle royale games.
Last weekend, a closed alpha of The Darwin Project took place. More info about the game can be found here. Further testing phases are to follow.
