• Tactical
• Hyper-Realism
• Close-Quarters Combat
• Body-Cam
• Photorealistic
• Competitive

• Assault Rifles: Primary
  Standard tactical rifles with significant recoil that requires disciplined firing patterns.
• Shotguns: Close Quarters
  Devastating in tight corridors but limited by reload speed and range.
• Pistols: Sidearm
  Used as a last resort in 'clutch' situations or during weapon cycling modes.

Wardens utilize a hybrid system of firearms and 'Arcane Enhancements.' Abilities include elemental projectile spells, a 'shocking heart-rip' execution, and a signature knife-throw with high tactical utility. Players specialize in roles such as Breacher, Battlefield Controller, or Covering Fire.

The game does not feature traditional RPG skill trees. Progression is player-skill based, focusing on recoil management, positioning, and 'clutch' ability. In-game currency earned from matches can be used to unlock cosmetic items and different weapon models. Future updates plan for a deeper progression system to reward long-term players.

The game features massive, diverse maps including Bastion (fertile plains and woodlands), Casinea (mountainous quarries and mines), and Reikos (a liberated region defined by ruin and new beginnings). These large-scale environments are designed for both on-foot parkour and mounted traversal.

Maps are designed for dense, close-quarters combat (CQC). Locations are intentionally tight to force frequent engagements and punish sloppy movement. Distinct zones like 'Kitchen,' 'Stairs,' and 'Backyard' are critical for tactical callouts. Seasonal event maps, such as specialized horror-themed zones for the Zombies mode, are periodically released.

Standard Edition (Early Access) available on Steam. Pricing is subject to change as the game moves toward its full 1.0 release. The 'BodyCamera Shooter' title on PS5/Epic is a separate, lower-rated single-player game and should not be confused with Reissad Studio's title.

Reissad Studio follows an active roadmap driven by Discord community feedback. Planned content includes new maps, improved server stability, weapon balancing, and expanded game modes like a deeper Zombies experience and enhanced Hardpoint missions.

• Q: Is Highguard a Battle Royale?
  A: No, it is a objective-based PvP Raid Shooter.
• Q: Does it have Titanfall movement?
  A: Yes, wall-running is a confirmed part of the Warden mobility kit.
• Q: Is it purely PvP?
  A: It is primarily PvP, but features minor PvE encounters to power up during matches.

• Q: What is the difference between Bodycam and BodyCamera Shooter?
  A: Bodycam (by Reissad Studio) is a high-end multiplayer tactical shooter built in UE5 for PC. BodyCamera Shooter (by Pine Games/Dezvolt) is a lower-budget, single-player title available on PS5 and Epic Games Store.
• Q: Is Bodycam coming to consoles?
  A: As of early 2026, Reissad Studio is focusing primarily on the PC version to ensure stability and performance in Unreal Engine 5.
• Q: Why is the FOV so narrow?
  A: The narrow field of view and distorted lens effects are intentional design choices to simulate the specific look of a physical body-camera.

• Official PC system requirements provided by Wildlight Entertainment. An NVMe SSD is highly recommended for optimal asset streaming of destructible environments.
• Laptop Performance Note: Mobile performance will vary by TGP and cooling. **High-performance laptops (NVIDIA RTX 3070 Mobile / RTX 4060 Mobile) are recommended for stable frames during intense multi-phase raid encounters.**
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: High TGP is preferred for managing arcane particle effects and destruction physics.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: The intensity of siege warfare can tax hardware; ensure active cooling to prevent stuttering.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: Modern multi-core mobile CPUs are essential for handling the complex AI of siege engines.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: Recommended to minimize latency in high-stakes PvP gunfights.
• Game Name: Highguard

• Official system requirements for Reissad Studio's Bodycam. Due to the heavy use of Unreal Engine 5 and Megascans, an SSD is highly recommended to prevent stuttering.
• Laptop Performance Note: Laptop performance is heavily dependent on thermal management and GPU TGP. **High-end mobile GPUs (RTX 3070 Mobile / RTX 4060 Mobile and above) are required for a stable experience at high settings.**
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: High TGP is essential to render the photorealistic lighting and high-resolution textures without frame drops.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: The heavy load from UE5's Nanite and Lumen systems will generate significant heat; robust cooling is a priority.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: A strong multi-core mobile CPU is needed to handle the complex audio occlusion and physics calculations.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: Recommended to minimize input latency in this high-lethality shooter.
• Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: Supports FSR and DLSS. These are highly recommended to maintain 60+ FPS on mid-range hardware.
• Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Global Illumination, Reflections, and Anti-Aliasing are the primary performance drivers.
