Metalands Announces Major Updates

The PvPvE First-Person Shooter Metalands announces some major, upcoming updates for the game. Smart NFT integration, weapon skins, and weapon inspection are just some examples of what is coming. Expect a way more polished, more competitive, and more feature laden Metalands in 2023.

Metalands released a few playable versions over the last year. So far, it looks like it has potential as a First-Person Shooter. But recently, the team announced all the upcoming updates which are going to be a game changer. Here is the list of everything that is coming to Metalands:

• Smart NFT Integration
• Weapon Skins
• Weapon inspection
• Gameplay changes
• Bunker System
• Tournaments

Let's break it down...

Smart NFT Integration

Smart NFTs will give players the opportunity to save their in-game NFT progression on-chain. This means that Metalands NFTs will become mutable. So, when players level up their NFT character or make their NFT weapon stronger, that will be recorded in the blockchain and the metadata of the NFTs will be updated. This new feature will also make NFTs more valuable. Obviously, a fully leveled character will be worth more than a level 1 character.

This is possible thanks to the partnership Metalands has with Altura NFT.

Weapon Skins

What is a First-Person shooter without those shiny skins on a player's AK? Metalands does not want to be different than all the other projects that fall in the same genre, so they are also implementing Weapon Skins in their game. Some of these will be sold, other skins will be game rewards. Players will also have the option to create or modify their own skins by spending $CIFI.

Weapon Inspection

What is the point of having the latest legendary-rarity diamond skin on your M4 if you can not see it or show it to your friends? That is right, there is no point. That is why Metalands is implementing weapon inspection. Through this, players can get a clear picture of their weapon skin and all the changes made to it.

Gameplay Improvements

The gameplay will get a lot of updates. To begin with, enemies will have different classes and a communication system. So, players can expect a bigger challenge when facing bots. The team is also working on the rigidbody system, radar system, teleportation mechanism, and day and night transition.

Bunker System

There are a lot of things players will be able to do from their Bunkers. Some examples are bunker-loadout, leaderboard system, customisation with items earned from gameplay, and teleport to other locations through a device.

Tournaments

Last but not least is the competitive side of Metalands. For all the hardcore FPS lovers out there. A leaderboard system will be integrated where top players will be able to earn rewards like NFTs, $CIFI, stablecoins, and other rewards.
