Highguard Xbox Series X|S

An All-New PvP Raid Shooter Highguard is a PvP raid shooter where players will ride, fight, and raid as Wardens, arcane gunslingers sent to fight for control of a mythical continent. Team up, secure your base, then ride out across vast uncharted lands to loot, harvest resources, and upgrade your arsenal as you face off against a rival Warden crew looking to claim your territory as their own. Battle for possession of the legendary Shieldbreaker in the open field; fight to carry it to the enemy base to bring down their shields—then raid to destroy their base before they can destroy yours. Assemble Your Crew Pick from an ever-growing roster of Wardens, and form up in teams of three. Wardens wield guns and raid tools, in combination with rare magical abilities leftover from a dwindling age of magic, now returned. Every Warden ability is designed to add depth to the game’s unique loop and mechanics, like raid combat and destruction; siege stealth and infiltration; base repair and defense; harvesting and loot gathering; open-world combat, and much, much more. Secure Your Stronghold Choose from an array of unique strongholds to call in as your base of operations in large, open maps. Each base has different layouts, advantages, and vulnerabilities. Pick the base best-suited for your team composition, play style, and map type. Once you’ve called in a base, take some time to reinforce walls and customize your loadout before heading out into the field. Mount Up, Ride Out Mount up with your team and ride across the vast mythical landscapes of Highguard in search of loot, resources, and gear to strengthen your arsenal. You can find upgraded guns, armor, and other equipment, like better saddles and magical amulets imbued with perks. Be on the lookout, as the enemy team will be doing the same. Fight them off to secure the best loot for your team. Battle For the Shieldbreaker Strange magical storms periodically ravage the continent of Highguard. Everytime one appears, an ancient magical sword, called the Shieldbreaker, forms at its heart. This sword is the crucial key for breaking through the outer shields of the enemy base so that you can raid. When one of these storms forms in the sky, ride with your team to its location and battle the enemy team for possession of the Shieldbreaker forming beneath it. Intercept in the Open Field Once you have the Shieldbreaker, battle across the open field, on mount or on foot, as you attempt to carry the sword to the enemy base. But stay vigilant—if the enemy team eliminates you while carrying the Shieldbreaker, they can pick it up and ride to raid your base instead. Summon a Siege Tower Once you’ve successfully reached the enemy base with the Shieldbreaker, plunge the blade into the base’s outer superstructure to weaken its shields, then summon in a Siege Tower to finish the job. When those shields go down, it’s time to raid. The Raid With the base shields gone, you’ll need to push in to destroy the base by planting bombs on the base’s generators. But in order to get inside a well-fortified base, you’ll need to use every weapon, raid tool, and arcane ability at your disposal to shoot, sneak, or smash your way inside. Once inside, plant bombs and hold the objective while defenders try to flush you out. Chip away at a base’s strength by taking out multiple generators, or go straight for their anchor stone to destroy the base in one fell swoop. And if you’re defending, protect your generators and repel attackers until the energy of the Siege Tower is depleted and your outer shields repair. Fight For Control If multiple generators or the anchor stone is destroyed, the enemy base is destroyed and the attackers secure the territory. But most of the time, victory doesn’t come with a single raid. When that happens, the enemy base shields repair, the siege tower dissipates, and the fight escalates as loot, gear, and weapons all upgrade in the field, and a new Shieldbreaker forms in a different location in the world. From there the fight for control continues—until only one base is left standing.
