First thing that the gamers lookout for in battle royale games is the weapons and the gameplay. The developers of Indus have already confirmed that it will have assault rifles, snipers, and hand cannons in the beginning. In the future, new weapons will be introduced in the game as per the theme.
Having a look at the details shared by the developers, the snipers in the game will be known as Ashvini. Apart from that, the gameplay of Indus will be quite similar to any other first-person shooter game. Developers have said that the game will also get a third-person perspective in the future.
Furthermore, the developers have also announced that the game will get a battle pass just like PUBG New State, BGMI, or Call of Duty. Additionally, the game will be running on Unity coupled with a custom-built sandbox shooter technology dubbed as Indus Engine.
