The map seems quite vast, full of rich natural environments, ruins, and local inhabitants\u2019 offshore\/treetop settlements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to his jetpack, Cutter is equipped with guns and wears a special item on his arm. This item seems to have multiple abilities; it can be used as a shield, melee weapon, and an AoE weapon that can strike from above. The game will have a weapon customization system, so these abilities might be part of that system as well. Cutter will also gain access to ancient Talan powers that uses forces of nature to destroy enemies.
