The Games Company is going to release the sinister action-thriller Dark Sector on the PC in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, this summer.
In this mailing we would like to introduce you to the unique weapon of the main protagonist Hayden Tenno - the GLAIVE:
Agent Hayden Tenno belongs to a special unit of the CIA and is known for his uncompromising operation methods. No matter how dangerous the job might be, he takes care of it with deadly precision. His latest mission takes him to Lasria, a city in Eastern Europe, where he is being infected with the treacherous Technocyte virus. While the virus transformed Lasria’s civilians into Zombies, Tenno develops supernatural abilities. One of the side effects of the virus is the so called GLAIVE, a boomerang-like weapon, which is growing out of Tenno’s arm, early in the game. The GLAIVE consists of three razor sharp blades and can either be used as a close combat weapon or for long distances. After thrown, the GLAIVE returns automatically to Hayden and can be used as much as he likes. During the game Hayden gets access to the following upgrades of the GLAIVE, which are making it even more powerful:
- ability to remotely control the GLAIVE in midair and kill multiple enemies
- shield, reflecting all kinds of threats, such as projectiles etc., back to the enemy
- ability to charge the GLAIVE with electricity, fire and even ice
- ability to make Hayden invisible for a limited amount of time.
In Dark Sector the GLAIVE cannot just be used to incapacitate the enemy but also to solve mini-puzzles or to collect items. For additional firepower a variety of firearms can be used parallel to the GLAIVE.
