The goal of the Raider is to stop the activation of the \u201cSuper Time Machine\u201d and defeat all the survivors. The Super Time Machine is a device that if activated, allows the survivors to escape and win the match.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dragon Ball: The Breakers - Game System Trailer\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rUUMwD3NrnE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>For the Survivors, activating the Super Time Machine is no simple task. They must first set what are called \u201cPower Keys.\u201d There is one in each area, and it must be found and taken to a specific location. Setting a Power Key will speed up the startup system of the Super Time Machine. The startup system appears on the map for a set amount of time and must be defended from the Raider in order to activate the Super Time Machine.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211125-183534-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211125-183534-001.jpg 800w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211125-183534-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211125-183534-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211125-183534-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211125-183534-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211125-183534-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211125-183534-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211125-183534-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>If the Survivors can\u2019t activate the Super Time Machine, there are still regular time machines that can be called with beacons spread across the map. The catch being only one time machine can be called at a time. However, other players can hop onto the outside of the time machine and escape as well, so if you have a companion nearby, get on the time machine together and receive bonus points for surviving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Raider can earn what is called a complete victory by defeating all the Survivors. This means working efficiently to stop the activation of the Super Time Machine. The Raider is much stronger than the Survivors and evolves during matches to gain different active and passive skills. The Raider evolves by absorbing Survivors and NPC civilians on the map and can also destroy a section of the map each time it levels up to a new evolution, giving Survivors less room to work with and adding to the tension. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Survivors aren\u2019t totally defenseless, though. They also have access to passive and active skills, as well as items and vehicles scattered across the map. There are also equipable \u201cTranspheres,\u201d which contain the souls of super warriors and allow the player to temporarily transform into characters like Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211125-6572-001.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211125-6572-001.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211125-6572-001-600x338.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211125-6572-001-380x214.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211125-6572-001-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211125-6572-001-150x84.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211125-6572-001-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211125-6572-001-696x392.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/20211125-6572-001-747x420.jpeg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>A gameplay overview trailer released along with the closed beta announcement explains even more gameplay mechanics such as collecting Dragon Balls, battling the Raider head on, and making use of numerous special attacks.
