Design risks

The game's competitive multiplayer nature may expose players to competitive toxicity and social comparison. While in-game stranger chat is absent, external platforms like Discord could facilitate interactions with strangers. The presence of microtransactions, though not loot boxes or battle passes, introduces potential spending pressure. The game features a high level of violence.
