The Order 1886 Has Freaky, Crazy Weapons

The embargo for the first demonstration of The Order 1886 is set to 18th February, but German website Play3.De published an interview with studio head Ru Weerasuriya. Among many interesting new details, one stood out for us: apparently, your weapon arsenal will be pretty outlandish.

We’ve got this freaky idea of scientific and fantasy elements, which alone creates a unique experience. We’ve researched alot of dominating hystorical weapon systems and modified them.
Nikola Tesla for example was researching back then, as well as Alfred Nobel and many others; it was the time of inventors. Considering their research, we thought about taking these ideas even further, making even crazier weapons, without getting onto the Sci-Fi track.You’ll see the result in the players armory.
The weapons have to look cool, but also be believable.The thermite-gun is shooting thermit, which the player can inflame.The arc-gun is firing electronic shocks, as just another example.
Our priority with the weapon design was to offer a diverse lineup, every weapon has to drastically distinguish itself from another weapon and not just feel like a better version of another weapon.

The player has to take a wise decision, we’re not gonna force him to do anything.That’s why we’re not gonna allow him to take all weapons at once, which is also more realistic.

Ready at Dawn seems to have gone all out with The Order 1886. What do you think? Are you enticed by their weapon system or would you have preferred something different, more realistic perhaps? Let us know in the comments.
