The game contains frequent intense violence, including 'death-filled' maps and 'carnage', warranting its M rating. While it avoids manipulative monetization and compulsion-loop mechanics, the competitive multiplayer environment could expose players to mild social comparison and potential toxicity. There is no stranger chat, mitigating some social risks.
