Gameplay
When joining a match, the player is required to pick a weapon loadout from their primary, secondary, and melee slots, which they can switch to different weapons during the match. They’re also required to pick a team if they join in a team based game mode. The player is tasked to complete the objective in the specific game mode in order to win the match for themselves or their team. The player can select their weapon to use by using the weapon selector by tapping their weapon or by holding down the weapon selector to quickly scroll and pull out their weapon, in which afterwards the player can fire their weapon by tapping or holding the fire button. The weapon will reload automatically when it's not being fired and can detect what state the weapon is in when it’s switched back to allow the player to not fully wait to reload if they switch to a different weapon in the middle of a reload. The player can move their mercenary forwards and backwards and can turn left and right using the joystick. They can also turn 180 degrees by tapping the turn button.
