A first-person shooter whose distinguishing feature is the workshop rather than the arena. Weapons take attachments that genuinely change how they behave — recoil pattern, handling speed, effective range — so the decision made before a match has more effect on your results than most browser shooters allow. That shifts where the learning happens. Rather than memorising map angles, the early hours are spent working out which configuration suits the way you actually play: a build that controls recoil rewards holding an angle, and one that handles quickly rewards moving between them, and trying to do both produces a weapon that is mediocre at each. Unlocks come from playing, so the good configurations arrive gradually rather than being available immediately, which keeps the progression meaningful without gating competitiveness behind it. The shooting underneath is solid and conventional: moderate time to kill, real recoil to manage, and maps small enough that engagements start quickly. Matches fill fast, the whole thing runs in a browser without a download, and it holds a good frame rate on modest hardware. A mouse is close to mandatory.
