The Red Solstice - Update# 2, Space Marine

The Red Solstice has a new update where the developers Ironward talk about how you can customization, weapons, and ranks of your ingame marines.

Pimp my space marine

As most of you already know, customization of your equipment set and skill advancement during the game are some of the core elements of The Red Solstice gameplay. So we are going to use this update to give you a lot more details about them!

Customization

Marine Combat Suit is primarily equipped with 4 components, they can be swapped in the customization menu. Each component can give your marine certain passive or active skills. As player progresses new components and options will be unlocked for each class. Each Combat Suit/Marine class has a different set of components.

Power-Ups are specific smaller components that give both negative and positive effect, so you can "pimp" your marine(combat suit) to the way you want to play it. Power-Ups like damage boosters will increase your damage, but also reduce your movement speed, so be careful!

Global and specialist ranks

As you play the game no matter the outcome, you WILL gain experience, everything you do is rewarded. But if you play with a certain class a lot more, this means you will gain specialist ranks with that class. Global ranks unlocks weapons, power-ups etc, while specialist ranks unlock specific components available just for that class - they will open up new play styles with that class. For example Terminator will gain "self destruct" skill - it's basically small nuke that can kill entire team if used in a bad way.

Primary and secondary weapons

Weapons by type are divided how they are used – as a primary or secondary weapon. Primary weapons use bullets (standard ammo) and as you advance new kinds of primary weapons become available, while secondary weapons are much more powerful and use specific ammo found on the field. Exception is the pistol, which is very powerful and uses normal ammo, but also has some strong limitations imposed.

Take a look at short equipment customization video that was done by one of our big fans/supporters Juan Gabriel Mateo.
