Task Force 141 & Los Vaqueros (Campaign AI Squadmates): Throughout the campaign, the player character (Price, Soap, Gaz, or Alejandro, depending on the mission) is almost always accompanied by other AI-controlled members of Task Force 141 or Los Vaqueros. These squadmates provide combat support, covering fire, breach doors, participate in scripted sequences, and deliver crucial dialogue. Their presence and actions are heavily scripted for each mission.
Human (Special Forces)
Co-op Partners (Special Ops & Raids): In Special Ops missions (2 players) and Raids (3 players), players team up with other human-controlled Operators. Teamwork, communication, and utilizing different loadouts and skills are essential for completing objectives, reviving downed teammates, and overcoming challenging enemy waves or puzzles.
Human (Player Characters / Operators)
Warzone / DMZ Squadmates (Online Players): In Warzone (Battle Royale) and DMZ (Extraction Shooter), players can team up in squads (duos, trios, quads). Squadmates can share resources, provide covering fire, revive each other, coordinate tactics, and complete contracts/objectives together against other player teams and AI combatants.
Human (Player Characters / Operators)
Splintered AI Constructs: Instead of a single companion, P-3 might interact with multiple, smaller AI constructs within Limbo, each offering different abilities or perspectives on the world.
Artificial Intelligence
Key Collectibles
Intel (Campaign - Limited/Contextual): While not a major collectible system like in some RPGs, campaign levels may contain laptops, documents, or environmental details that provide minor pieces of lore, backstory, or context for the current mission or characters. These are not usually tracked as formal 'collectibles' for progression.
Weapon Unlocks & Attachments (Multiplayer/Warzone Progression): A core progression loop involves leveling up individual weapons by using them in matches. This unlocks a wide array of attachments (scopes, muzzles, barrels, stocks, grips, magazines, ammo types, lasers) through the Gunsmith system, allowing for deep customization. New base weapons are often unlocked via the Battle Pass, in-game challenges, or as part of seasonal updates.
Operator Unlocks & Skins (Multiplayer/Warzone Progression): New playable Operators and cosmetic skins for them are unlocked by completing specific challenges (e.g., campaign missions, Special Ops objectives), through the Battle Pass, or by purchasing store bundles.
Calling Cards & Emblems (Multiplayer/Warzone Progression): Cosmetic items for player profiles, unlocked by completing various in-game challenges, through the Battle Pass, or via store bundles.
DMZ Mode - Faction Missions & Keys: In DMZ, players complete missions for different factions to earn rewards and unlock new mission tiers. Keys are found that unlock specific locked locations on the map, often containing valuable loot or mission items. Weapon Contraband and Blueprints can also be extracted and collected.
Memory Fragments: Found within Limbo, these collectibles would likely be visual or auditory fragments of P-3 and Ekaterina's shared past, piecing together their backstory.
Corrupted Data Logs: The sequel's version of 'Chirpers,' these would be fragmented data logs from rogue AIs or trapped consciousnesses, providing lore about the nature of Limbo.
Versatile primary weapons effective at most ranges. Highly customizable through Gunsmith with various attachments impacting stats like damage, range, recoil, handling.
Secondary weapons for backup or when primary ammo is depleted. Includes semi-autos, revolvers, and machine pistols. Can be dual-wielded with specific perks/attachments.
Non-lethal items used to disorient enemies, provide cover, heal, or gain tactical information.
Evolved Polymer Glove: Primary Tool / Ability Hub
An upgraded version of the glove, with new core abilities designed to interact with the digital world of Limbo, such as reality-warping, data corruption attacks, and more advanced elemental powers.
Hypothetical weapons made of programmable polymer that can shift form between melee and ranged modes, offering greater tactical flexibility.
Advanced Railgun: Special Weapon
An upgraded version of the first game's Railgun, featuring faster charging, higher damage, and potentially an alternate fire mode that creates a temporary energy shield.
Armor / Gear Sets
Armor Plates (Warzone / DMZ): In Warzone and DMZ modes, players can find and equip up to three armor plates, providing additional health segments that absorb damage before affecting base health. Different plate carriers (1-plate, 2-plate, 3-plate vests) determine the maximum number of plates that can be equipped. Plates are consumed when damaged and must be replenished.
Perks (Multiplayer - Base, Bonus, Ultimate): In multiplayer loadouts, players select a Perk Package consisting of two Base Perks, one Bonus Perk (earned mid-match), and one Ultimate Perk (earned later in a match). While not direct 'armor,' many perks offer defensive or survival benefits, e.g., 'Bomb Squad' (reduced explosive damage), 'Battle Hardened' (reduced tactical grenade effects), 'Quick Fix' (health regeneration on kills), 'Ghost' (undetectable by UAVs).
Field Upgrades (Multiplayer - e.g., Deployable Cover, Trophy System): Player-chosen tactical equipment with a cooldown. Some provide defensive capabilities, like Deployable Cover for instant protection or a Trophy System to intercept incoming explosives.
Campaign (No Equipable Armor System): In the single-player campaign, player characters do not have an equipable armor system where they can swap pieces for stat changes. Health regenerates automatically over time when not taking damage. Some missions might feature heavier scripted armor (like a bomb suit) for specific segments, but this is not customizable.
Operator Skins (Cosmetic): Players can unlock or purchase numerous cosmetic skins for their chosen Operators in Multiplayer, Warzone, and DMZ. These are purely visual and do not provide any gameplay advantages or armor value.
Modular Exoskeleton: A speculative evolution of the first game's upgrade system, allowing players to equip different modular components to P-3's suit, each providing unique passive bonuses, active abilities, or resistances, allowing for more defined 'builds'.
Outfits/Customization
Campaign Character Outfits: In the single-player campaign, the main characters (Price, Soap, Gaz, Ghost, Alejandro) wear specific tactical gear and outfits appropriate to each mission's environment and context (e.g., desert camo, urban assault gear, ghillie suits, formal attire for covert ops). These are generally fixed for story purposes and not customizable by the player during the campaign.
Multiplayer Operator Skins: Extensive cosmetic customization for playable Operators in Multiplayer, Warzone, and DMZ. Players can unlock or purchase numerous skins for each Operator, ranging from realistic military attire and faction-specific gear to more outlandish or themed costumes (e.g., through Battle Passes, store bundles, or completing challenges). Skins often have multiple tiers or variants.
Weapon Blueprints & Camos (Multiplayer): Weapon Blueprints are pre-configured weapon variants with specific attachments and unique cosmetic designs. Players can also unlock a vast array of weapon camos (patterns and colors) by completing weapon-specific challenges (e.g., getting a certain number of kills, headshots, etc.). Charms, stickers, and reticles can also be customized.
Vehicle Skins (Multiplayer & Warzone): Cosmetic skins can be applied to various vehicles in multiplayer modes like Ground War and in Warzone, allowing for personalization.
Player Profile Customization (Calling Cards, Emblems): Players can customize their online profile with various unlockable Calling Cards (player banners) and Emblems.
Cosmetic Customization (Speculative): A potential new feature for a sequel could be the ability to unlock or purchase different outfits for P-3, reflecting his journey or granting minor environmental bonuses.
