“Um jogo promissor e ainda em fase BETA, desenvolvido por uma empresa Brasileira, a Aquiris. Possui gráficos exuberantes e leves e uma jogabilidade fluida e com personagens bem distintos. 8/10”

Whenever you complete these missions you will receive a reward of either 2, 3 or 4 scrap(s), that you can redeem for crates.

With over 80 weapons in game, there's always a new way to kill your enemies in Ballistic Overkill, and with droppable skins that you can trade and/or sell through the Steam Market you can now do this with style and flair. The game features Class based lockboxes and drop Seasons that will change every few months so players can seek out the best skins and unlockables across 5 different rarity types. These unlockables will be dropped in keyless lockboxes so nothing will prevent you from opening them and grabbing the amazing content inside.
