The Surge – Target, Look and Equip Trailer

Deck13’s upcoming action-RPG The Surge comes to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on May 16th. Today, the latest Target, Loot and Equip Trailer highlights the game’s limb-slicing loot system.

The Surge gives players greater control over what they loot from defeated enemies. During combat, they can individually target specific body parts, which they can damage with a combination of vertical and horizontal attacks to then slice off – and what part they dismember directly determines what piece of equipment they loot. When approaching an enemy, players will make a difficult decision: do they target an unarmored body part for a shorter fight, or risk a lengthier, damaging battle for a chance at slicing off a shiny new piece of equipment?
