Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.03 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.17 | |
The primary risks involve exposure to moderate violence, some competitive toxicity in multiplayer, and a mild level of nationalistic propaganda. While not directly monetized, the infinite replayability of instant action missions could lead to extended play sessions. There is also a slight risk of social comparison within the competitive multiplayer environment.
