The long-awaited beta for Uncharted 4’s multiplayer has just started.

The long-awaited beta for Uncharted 4’s multiplayer has just started. Pleasing fans of the series with all the features they’ve come to expect from the franchise, the beta also sheds light on a few new tricks.

Players start out with one of six different loadouts, such as assault, tactical, or close range. Teams are broken up into groups of five and compete in twelve-minute deathmatches, gaining experience points to level up along the way. During each match players also earn in-game cash to purchase heavy weapons, upgrades, AI controlled “buddies,” and special abilities call “mysticals.”

Once players have earned enough experience points, they unlock the ability to create customized loadouts. Like most shooters, these allow players to mix and match weapons based on their skill sets and preferences.

If the beta is any indication, Uncharted 4 is shaping up to be one of the best games of 2016. The multiplayer combines the amazing graphics and tight action from the solo game with rich, action-packed, arcadey combat.
