Loadout by Edge Of Reality - BILLIONS of combinations... Muahaha, PAX 2013

The video provides a hands-on look at the game Loadout by Edge Of Reality showcased at PAX 2013, focusing on the core feature of extreme player empowerment through modular weapon crafting. The host emphasizes that the game supports billions of possible weapon configurations by allowing players to mix and match components, resulting in truly unique loadouts. A key point is the absence of fixed classes, meaning players define their role purely through their weapon choices and play style, from healing and support to aggressive offense. The interview highlights creative examples like a sniper rifle that fires rockets, heals teammates, and can detonate near enemies, illustrating the system’s inventive potential. The discussion also covers balance challenges, noting how the community-driven feedback helps tune weapons and the ongoing beta process, including closed beta on Steam and the planned open beta. Finally, the host encourages viewers to try Loadout on Steam, join the early access program, and stay tuned for further Pax coverage and updates from Linus Tech Tips. The overall impression is that Loadout offers a chaotic but deeply customizable experience that rewards experimentation and strategic role definition within a team setting.
