What VOLTED is
VOLTED is a team-based vehicular shooter where you drive into a fight over electricity, the main resource of this world. You pick one of four vehicle classes — Hover, Tank, Copter and Artillery — and take on enemies, robotic bugs and bulldogs while blowing things up and trying to keep your own side standing. The battlegrounds are explored on foot of your vehicle class for different ammunition types, endurance and speed abilities, and you collect guns you find out there: cannons, machine guns, shotguns and energy weapons. Along the way you unlock models and new weapons, so a run feeds into the next one.
Playing together with friends
Everything in VOLTED is built around squad cooperation, and the four classes are meant to be integrated into a team rather than run alone. You support each other directly: recharging shields, feeding energy and restoring each other's ammo capacity. Each class also carries a unique resource ability that the team needs most to complete key objectives, and to get that resource you have to stay near the vehicle class that produces it. That makes positioning a group decision — you move as a unit, cover the class that holds the resource, and split up only when the objective allows it.
Objectives and combat
Matches revolve around destroying and protecting pylons, fighting robotic bugs and bulldogs, and holding ground long enough to come out ahead. Combat is fast-paced and heavy on bullet rain, so expect constant pressure rather than slow, careful engagements. The classes differ in how they handle that pressure: some are built for endurance, some for speed, and Artillery brings a different kind of firepower to the fight. Ammo and energy are shared resources, which means a squad that trades them well keeps its momentum.
Before you start
VOLTED is in Early Access, so things can change as development continues. The game supports online co-op and online PvP, so you can bring friends along or face other teams. Pick a class that fits how you want to contribute, learn what resource your class provides, and stay close enough to teammates to hand it over — the objectives are designed so that a lone vehicle rarely gets far.
