Why Early Access?

“Direct Contact is built with realism, tactical depth, and community-driven development at its core. Early Access allows us to refine and expand the game with direct player feedback, ensuring a polished, immersive experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

🔹 Continuous Updates – Regular content drops, optimizations, and new features throughout Early Access.
🔹 Refinement & Expansion – Adding more maps, weapons, AI improvements, and game mechanics.
🔹 Player-Driven Development – Feedback will shape the final product, ensuring a polished, immersive tactical experience.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full release of Direct Contact will expand on the foundation set in Early Access, delivering a more polished, content-rich, and optimized experience. Here’s what we’re planning:

🔹 Expanded Gameplay Features – More advanced AI behaviors, deeper weapon customization, and refined squad-based mechanics.
🔹 Additional Maps & Environments – A wider variety of locations, from urban CQB to large-scale outdoor operations.

🔹 Regular Updates & Fixes – Continuous improvements, bug fixes, and new content additions based on community feedback.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, the price of Direct Contact is expected to increase after Early Access.

🔹 Early Access Pricing – A lower entry price for players who want to support development early and help shape the game.
🔹 Full Release Pricing – As the game expands with new content, features, and optimizations, the price will reflect its increased scope and quality.”

About This Game

Direct Contact drops you into the chaos of modern warfare with full control over how you fight. Rebuilt from the ground up on the FUBAR Framework in Unreal Engine 5.7, this hardcore military tactical shooter blends realism, strategic team coordination, and high-stakes combat survival. Whether you are executing silent breaches or calling in massive fire support, every mission is shaped entirely by your decisions.

Global Operations: Over 10 Languages Supported

To unite tactical operators worldwide, Direct Contact features full localization support for over 10 global languages, including:

  • English, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Korean, and more!

True Tactical Gameplay & Deployment

Coordinate your squad in the Headquarters lobby before deploying to the field.

  • Role-Based Operations: Choose from four distinct combat roles: Assault, MG Rifle, JTAC Operator, or Sniper. Once a role is locked, it enforces a balanced team composition for the mission.

  • Helicopter Insertion: Board the HQ Helicopter with your squad, access the holographic tactical map to read mission briefings, select your destination, and deploy seamlessly into hostile zones.

Devastating Combat Support

Coordinate with your team's JTAC Operator to level the playing field with heavy military assets.

  • Airstrikes & Barrages: Call in high-speed jet flyovers with laser-guided missiles, complete with tracking cameras, or request off-map heavy artillery barrages featuring realistic projectile arcs and flight times for area denial.

  • Realistic Infrastructure: Navigate structures featuring fully replicated, bidirectional doors and server-synced elevator platforms.

Hardcore Resource Management & Persistent Stash

In Direct Contact, gear management is just as important as marksmanship.

  • Persistent HQ Vault: Stockpile weapons, ammunition, medical supplies, and equipment in a massive grid inventory inside your private Safe House that persists across all matches.

  • Physical Magazine Mechanics: Magazines are physical items on your vest, not an infinite pool. You must track which mags are full, execute tactical reloads under pressure, or spend quiet moments manually repacking loose rounds round-by-round.

  • High-Stakes Failure: If you fall in combat, your gear stays on the battlefield. A physical container spawns where you fell, meaning your squad must secure the area to recover your loadout.

Interactive Weapon Customization Workbench

Modify your firearms with absolute precision at a dedicated interactive workstation.

  • Dynamic Scanning: The workbench dynamically scans your firearm to map accessory rails, barrel threads, and stock adapters for a modular editing environment.

  • Intelligent Hybrid Builds: Equipping certain parts updates your option categories in real-time. Mount top-rail magnifiers alongside your primary sights for highly personalized setups.

Hostile Adaptability & Survival

  • Limb-Based Health: Manage vital stats alongside individual health tracking for your Head, Torso, Arms, and Legs which can fracture, bleed, or sustain tissue damage. Fully animated consumption allows you to utilize food, water, and medical kits in the field.

  • Intelligent AI Threat: Face an enemy system designed around military doctrine. Hostiles will actively seek hard cover, flank your squad, deploy tactical drones, and suppress your positions rather than standing still.

Direct Contact is a community-driven Early Access title, constantly evolving with new features, customization options, and performance improvements. Our mission is to deliver the most immersive and intense tactical shooter experience possible.

The mission is yours. Are you ready to engage?
