RIFTSHOT ARENA: free 3D arena shooter in your browser

The Rift

A dimensional tear has opened over the old industrial yards. Operatives are sent through it to hold ground in the arenas on the other side, using kinetic weapons and Rift-tuned movement rigs that let them grapple, dash and blink through space. Every arena is built around a burning Rift reactor; fall into it and you are gone.

Game modes

• Free-for-all: every operative for themselves; first to the kill limit wins.
• Team Deathmatch: RIFT versus VOID, team kills count.
• Domination: capture and hold zones A, B and C.
• Rift Rush: steal the enemy Rift Core and carry it home.
• Hardpoint: a single rotating objective; hold it to score.
• Kill Confirmed: eliminations drop tags; collect them to score, deny the enemy's.
• Rift Ladder: every kill swaps your weapon; a kill with the final weapon wins.

Arenas

• Rift Yard: an abandoned industrial yard built around an unstable Rift; mixed range, with a pit, a platform and a trench.
• Ember District: burnt city block, short-to-mid range, a hollow two-storey building and a rooftop catwalk.
• Blacksite: a sealed underground research facility; close range, corridors and a reactor pit.
• Frostline: a snowbound relay outpost above a frozen reservoir; mid-to-long range, relay platforms, cabins and an ice basin.

Weapon classes

• P-2 Spark: semi-automatic sidearm.
• V-9 Viper: high fire-rate SMG for close quarters.
• K-12 Breaker: nine-pellet shotgun.

Patch notes

Update 0.2: The Rift opens

• A new lobby: your operative stands in front of a live Rift, with the camera moving in on your weapon when you open the Locker and diving into the Rift when you hit Play.
• Better-looking weapons and lighting, with glowing energy cores and sharper reflections.
• Shooting feels heavier: kills briefly freeze the frame, damage numbers pop off targets,.
• Touch controls rebuilt: aiming on phones is faster and more consistent, with separate look and aiming sensitivity.
• Fixed a black screen some players saw on phones and older graphics cards.
• Operators are now fully animated, armoured human soldiers that hold their rifle with both hands and aim where they look.
• Smoother frame rate: lighter effects on mid-range settings and high-resolution screens, and no more periodic stutter.
• Power-ups on every map: Med kit, Overshield, Rapid fire and Radar. Rift abilities are switched off for now.
• Sharper picture: the game now renders at full resolution, with anti-aliasing and no blur or grain filters.
• Phone aiming is now linear and tuned by default: the same swipe always turns the same amount. Kill freezes and camera lean are gone for a cleaner, classic feel.
• New weapon sounds: every gun type has its own shot, cleaner and punchier, with audible reloads.
• Smoother on phones: animation work runs once per frame instead of up to three times, and a new Settings screen built for phones, tablets and PCs with clear quality presets.
• Faster menus and site: the 3D lobby is far lighter on mid-range and mobile devices, menus never render faster than 60 fps, and the lobby idles behind settings panels.
• Premium soldiers: satin painted armour, smoked-glass visors and detailed kit on every operator, drawn more efficiently than before. Fixed enemies sometimes vanishing at point-blank range.
• New map: Frostline, a snowbound mountain outpost with falling snow and a frozen reservoir.
• Every operator now has their own look: Vanguard's heavy armour, Breacher's gas mask and pack, Sentinel's radio and scope, Phantom's hood and cloak.
• A new hangar lobby with light shafts and a card showing your operator, plus softer, cleaner glow everywhere.
• Medals: Double Kill, Triple Kill, Rampage, First Blood, Revenge, Long Shot, Close Call and streak rewards.
