In the SHOOTER modes, how you die now depends on what killed you.

New death animations

• KNIFE → HELL. The floor cracks, breaks open into a fiery pit, and you drop in. (In INFECTION, every stab does it.)
• SNIPER / RAILGUN → HEAVEN. Your body stays on the floor, gone grey, and your soul flies up with wings and a halo.
• ROCKETS, GRENADES, the AIRSTRIKE → LAUNCHED. A blast, and you balloon toward the camera and leave through the top of the screen.
• Every other gun still shatters you — so the big ones stay special.

Streaks

• Lose a kill streak of 3 or more and your number is struck out, right where you fell.
• The player who ended it gets SHUT DOWN — in their own colour, so the whole room knows who did it. Works online too.

The free demo is out now — play it in Steam Next Fest, 19–26 October. The open playtest has it too: hit Request Access on the store page. Full game 5 November.
