Gameplay from Dr. Disrespect's upcoming shooter, Deadrop, has started to pop up online.
The "snapshot" of the "vertical extraction shooter" - which will reportedly use blockchain tech and sell NFTs - was shared with approved content creators and players who had applied for the Founders Access Pass.
"The first Snapshot is here! Ride the elevator to Player Hideout – your first glimpse into the world of Deadrop. Here you can grab your weapon and put it to the test in three firing ranges," the website explains (opens in new tab).
"This build represents one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine check-ins from the Deadrop team from March 1, 2022, to July 26, 2022. The focus of this build was to establish the foundation for core player movement, weapon systems, and to introduce an environment in which to test the first weapon.
"In addition, Snapshot_CL 1859 marks the beginning of authentication, profile, account, dedicated server support, and code to support future Deadrop multiplayer functionality."
Feedback hasn't been entirely glowing, especially as Beahm had previously told fans "it blows out anything from the CoD engine" (opens in new tab), and it looks like there's not much to see beyond a firing range, although it's still incredibly early stages and a lot can change between now and the game's eventual release.
The next snapshot is slated to release in six weeks' time, and then every six weeks after that.
