Design risks

| R3 | Social risk | 0.06 | |
The primary risks in Red Faction: Guerrilla stem from its content. The game features frequent and intense violence, with the use of various weapons to destroy both structures and enemies. While there is no sexual content or substance reference, strong language is present, and some scenes may evoke mild fear or horror due to the oppressive setting and combat scenarios. There is a minor risk of competitive toxicity in the multiplayer mode.
