As a Raider, your goal is to extract valuable weapons and resources for your faction. Players will select their class and venture into procedurally generated ships making each match unique.

The game has been announced to be a PvP looter shooter with procedurally generated maps.<ref>[https://twitter.com/BlueOrc/status/1569762352895074305?cxt=HHwWgoC9oeCi9cgrAAAA Tweet by Hi-Rez Erez 9/13/2022]</ref> Matches are less than 15 minutes long.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ProphecyErez/status/1574921902174388224?cxt=HHwWgICygYbIn9srAAAA Tweet by Hi-Rez Erez 9/27/2022]</ref> Gameplay is centered around collecting artifacts and then extracting from the mission with those artifacts. Artifacts consist of weapon and armor upgrades and can only be used if the player extracts from the mission with the artifact. Loot crates are located at bases around the map and contain health packs, shield packs, and ammo. There are 5 levels of crates. When a player dies, they drop a backpack, which contains their consumables, ammo, and artifacts which can be looted by other players.
High-Stakes Extraction: The ship is crumbling and time is running out. Find valuable resources and escape before it's too late, but beware - there are only enough escape pods for half of the players in each match. If you don't make it out, you'll lose everything.

Most of the streamers were not long time players of the Starsiege or Tribes series and primarily used bullet based weapons, and compared the gameplay to that of Apex and Escape from Tarkov. Many viewers of the streams, have raised concerns that the while the game is in pre-alpha, it looks to be an attempt to cash in on the looter shooter trend with low effort by re-using an existing IP. While viewers were critical, they are still hopeful the game will move into a positive direction.
