Feature Information
Spray Pattern
Every weapon in Cerberus is designed with a unique spray pattern, challenging players to master their aim and control for maximum effectiveness. Weapons come with different firing modes, including semi-automatic, full-automatic, and single-shot, giving players flexibility in combat. Certain upgrades can enhance or modify these fire modes, adding a layer of strategy to gameplay. Additionally, weapon models dynamically update in real-time when achievements are equipped, offering a visual representation of progress and customization.
Weapon Upgrades
Each weapon in Cerberus has its own unique leveling system, requiring players to use the weapon to earn experience and unlock upgrades. As weapons level up, players can choose from a variety of upgrades, some of which introduce entirely new functions to the weapon. However, certain upgrades are mutually exclusive, meaning selecting one may prevent others from being applied, encouraging players to strategize and customize their loadouts to match their playstyle.

The player level system in Cerberus adds depth to progression by allowing players to unlock new weapons, weapon upgrades, perks, and gadgets as they level up. Experience is gained through gameplay, rewarding players for their performance and encouraging continued improvement. This system ensures that players have a steady flow of new options to enhance their combat strategies and adapt to the escalating challenges of the game.
