Here's a sneak peek for #ScreenshotSaturday.

What do you think? Would you play it? What should I do with it next? Still hunting for the perfect name any suggestions? 🤔

Progress on the Killcam. I'm pretty happy with where it’s at now!
Also, the bot got nailed by a headshot perfectly timed with the Discord notification sound. 😂

🎥 WIP Killcam inspired by Far Cry 3!
Still early, not very cinematic yet, but it’s a fun start. Might explore using this effect for other features too... 🤔

Thoughts?

🎭 Decoy grenade to confuse enemies by showing fake markers where no one is! Combine that with some parkour moves to navigate the level like a pro. 🕶️

What’s your favorite way to outplay your opponents?
