• Conventional Firearms: Bolt-Action Rifles, Submachine Guns, Pistols
  Period-accurate firearms like the Lee-Enfield rifle and Sten submachine gun. Ammunition is scarce, making every shot count.
• Improvised Melee Weapons: Cricket Bats, Pipes, Spades
  When bullets run out, players must resort to brutal melee combat using scavenged everyday items. These can be upgraded and modified.
• Crafted Traps & Explosives: Bottle Traps, Molotovs, Proximity Mines
  Using scavenged materials, players can craft a variety of traps and throwable items to control the battlefield and deal with groups of enemies.
• Experimental 'Atomfall' Tech: Energy Weapons (Speculative)
  Late-game weapons discovered by investigating the Atomfall project. These are likely to be strange, sci-fi energy-based weapons that contrast with the game's otherwise grounded arsenal.

• Standard Firearms: Various (Pistols, Rifles, SMGs, Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, LMGs)
  Conventional weapons found and used by both FND and guerrilla forces. Extensive customization with mods, scopes, and ammo types (Soft-Target, Armor-Piercing, etc.).
• Resolver Weapons: Unique/Gadget
  Improvised weapons with powerful, often unique functions. Examples: Tostador (Flamethrower), Zeusito (EMP), Discos Locos (CD Launcher). Crafted at workbenches using Uranium.
• Supremo Backpacks: Gadget/Ability (Ultimate)
  Backpacks granting powerful, tactical ultimate abilities on a cooldown. Examples: Exterminador (Homing Rockets), Volta (EMP Shockwave), Triador (See through walls and allow La Varita to shoot through). Each has custom gadget slots and mods.
• Bows: Ranged (Stealth)
  Silent ranged weapons ideal for stealthy takedowns. Different arrow types (standard, explosive) can be crafted and used.
• Melee Weapons: Melee
  Used for close-quarters combat and stealth takedowns. Often tied to gear perks.

• Scavenged Clothing: There is no traditional armor system. Players can find and equip different outfits from the era, such as tweed jackets, raincoats, and work overalls. These provide minor resistances to environmental hazards like rain or radiation but offer little protection in combat.
• OED Hazmat Suit: A special piece of equipment required to enter highly radioactive zones, such as the immediate area around the Windscale reactor. It provides high radiation resistance but is likely cumbersome and not suitable for combat.

• 1960s British Attire: Players can find and wear a variety of authentic clothing from the period, including flat caps, tweed jackets, trench coats, and wellington boots. These are primarily for cosmetic purposes but may have minor stat effects related to weather resistance.
• Folk Horror Cosmetics Pack: A set of cosmetic outfits included in the Deluxe Edition, allowing the player to adopt the eerie, pagan-inspired look of the zone's mysterious cults.

• Gear Outfits: Modular system where players equip headwear, upper body, lower body, foot, and wrist gear pieces. Appearance of each piece is distinct and contributes to the overall look. Full gear sets offer themed appearances.
• Cosmetic Outfits: Full body outfits that change Dani's appearance completely. Do not affect gear stats or perks. Acquired through editions, progression, or store.

The game features light RPG mechanics. Players can level up and invest points into skills that suit their playstyle, whether it be stealth, combat, or survival. A key part of progression is scavenging for materials to craft and upgrade weapons and equipment at workbenches found throughout the world. Players must also manage resources like ammo and healing items carefully.

Ability progression is tied to collected Gear pieces and weapon modifications rather than traditional skill trees tied to player XP. Players increase their rank by earning XP, which unlocks access to better gear and weapons from vendors. Resolver weapons and Supremo backpacks provide unique, powerful active abilities and are crafted/upgraded at workbenches using gathered resources like Depleted Uranium.

• OFFICIAL AND EXTRAPOLATED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS for Atomfall. This information is based on official PC specifications released by Rebellion Developments, adapted to the requested JSON structure. As a single-player, survival-action game built on the Asura Engine, the requirements are notable, especially the minimum RAM. Laptop and future-generation GPU listings are extrapolated based on performance benchmarks and technical analyses.
• Laptop Performance Note: Laptop versions of the listed desktop GPUs require comparable performance, which is highly dependent on the laptop's TGP (Total Graphics Power) and thermal design. For Atomfall, a laptop with a well-powered GPU and effective cooling will be important to maintain a smooth framerate while exploring the detailed and often hostile quarantine zone.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: A sufficient TGP is crucial. A low-power version of a recommended GPU may struggle to consistently deliver smooth performance, especially during intense combat encounters.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: The game's blend of exploration and combat can put a sustained load on components. A good cooling system will prevent thermal throttling, ensuring performance remains stable during long play sessions.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: A capable CPU with adequate power delivery is needed to handle the game's world and AI systems without creating a bottleneck for the GPU.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: To get the best possible performance and lowest latency—important for the game's first-person combat—a laptop with a MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus is recommended.
• Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: Initial performance analyses indicate the game may not support upscaling technologies like NVIDIA DLSS or AMD FSR at launch. Performance is based on native resolution rendering. This makes choosing the right GPU for your target resolution particularly important.
• Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Performance will be most affected by settings such as Shadow Quality, Draw Distance, and Water Quality. The game is noted to be GPU-bound, so adjustments to these graphical settings will be the primary way to improve framerates.
• Game Name: Atomfall

• Official system requirements from Ubisoft. Performance can vary depending on specific hardware, settings, and background applications. An SSD is strongly recommended for optimal performance, especially with the HD Texture Pack, which requires 12GB of VRAM. For 4K configurations, 16GB of VRAM is recommended.
• Laptop Performance Note: Laptop models of listed desktop GPUs may work if their performance is comparable. Performance on laptops is also heavily influenced by cooling and the GPU's TGP. The estimated laptop specs below are approximate and reflect performance tiers. Modern laptop GPUs (RTX 30/40 Series and beyond) will comfortably exceed the original recommended desktop specs.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: Higher TGP in a laptop GPU generally correlates with better sustained performance.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: Good cooling is essential to prevent thermal throttling during demanding gameplay.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: Laptops with higher CPU power limits can maintain boost clocks longer.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: Using a MUX switch or ensuring the dedicated GPU is active is recommended for better framerates.
• Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: Supports AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR).
• Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Texture Quality, Shadow Quality, Volumetric Clouds, and Environmental Detail, as well as Ray Tracing, heavily impact performance.
