Basic gameplay




Reload
Reloading is a core mechanic in every shooter game, but Synthetik emphasizes it even more. For most weapons, there are three steps to reloading. By default keybindings, the player presses E to eject the magazine (and any bullets left inside), then R or Space to begin the act of inserting a new magazine. As the bar (3 in the table above) fills, the player then tries to press R or Space once more when the white bar is within the active reload area (4 in the table above.) Hitting this active reload correctly grants any number of buffs to all shots fired from the new magazine, from increased damage or fire rate to better recoil control and more.

Active reloading can be turned off in the difficulty modifiers section of the main menu, at the expense of slower reloads and 10% less Data and XP rewards.



Your weapon may jam at any time, as long as the Weapon Jamming difficulty modifier is activated. To clear a jam, simply mash the Reload key (default R or Space) until the jam clears. You can also clear a jam by continually trying to fire however this will take significantly longer. The weapon will have a full magazine, and the ammo in the jammed magazine will be lost.
