- EXPLORE AN OPEN WORLD – Roam across a vast wasteland overworld where you can join a cult, acquire a sleek new vehicle, and wager your earnings at the Al Cashino.

Accomplish quests to unlock permanent enhancements and reshape the forthcoming events.
- ENDLESS WAYS TO CAUSE PROBLEMS – Amass an array of weapons ranging from ritualistic bows fueled by your blood, to homing smart guns, to the legendary Ebony Rooster that launches bouncing eggs. Experiment with over 100 skills and modifiers to create outlandish synergies. Lead a battalion of cats. Deploy orbital turrets. Clone yourself. The options for builds are limitless.
- BREAK EVERYTHING – Environments constructed with destructible voxels ensure that cover is fleeting and collateral damage is inevitable.
