DR DISRESPECT is known as a game distributor, but worked for SLEDGEHAMMER GAMES for a while. He was involved in the multi-play mode map of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare as a level designer.

And this time, the game was renamed DEADROP and was shown. According to the official website, this work will be a competitive Pvpve online FPS. The developer defines this work as Vertical Extraction Shooter. He is aiming for a gameplay that makes escape like ESCAPE from Tarkov in the scale of the battle royal game. It is said that multiple factions will compete in resources and equipment in the near-future city where the global pollution has progressed.
Along with the announcement of the title, Snapshot (short trial version) was distributed to the owner of Founders Access Pass. Founders Access Pass is a NFT (non-fungible token, non-alternative token) sold only for 10,000 people. In addition to Snapshot play rights, it will also be the right to participate in the event. Today, on August 5th, the video that DR DISRESPECT himself played was released.
In the video, you can check the shooting practice using assault rifles and the gloomy near-future city. The stage graphics look rich, but the game play is still in the early development stage. DR DISRESPECT also describes this work as a state of Bare B1. He mentioned the addition of lean (action that leans the body left and right) and gun recoil patterns as a game mechanics that wants to improve in the future.
