Players enter the immersive city of San Paro, the game’s open world setting, to unite and fight with anarchist Criminals or join the vicious street justice Enforcers. Be it on foot or from the driver's seat, the game melds PvP combat within a living city teetering on the edge of chaos.
Amidst the action, players are encouraged to take advantage of a robust set of customization tools that are second to none for an online shooter. They can create avatars with exacting character traits, personalized symbols and clothing detail, modify vehicles, even mix their own music, and then display their creations in special in-game social districts.
