Depth: Dueling Dragons

Depth: Dueling Dragons

Long ago, the Earth was in perfect balance. Half land, half sea. Blade the Earth Dragon ruled and protected all creatures in his domain. One day, Blade noticed the seas had begun rising, swallowing the coasts. Suspecting the dragon brothers of the sea, Frost and Flame, he took form as a thresher shark, diving into the sea. Upon finding the brothers, Blade demanded to know why they were intruding his domain. Flame explained their intention to expand the sea, believing they would make better use of area. Battle raged across the reef, with Blade using his agility against the brothers. Despite his speed, he was no match for both. Defeated, Blade retreated to land as the seas continued to rise until the brothers claimed victory. This imbalance between land and sea remains even today, a scar from the dueling dragons.

Depth: Meltdown

Depth: Meltdown

Viktor is leading the crew on a mission to Siberia! First heading to the Siberian Arms Factory in Tomsk, the team will be picking up some newly developed UPR-17 gyro rifles. Once armed to the teeth, they'll head out to the East Siberian Sea for Operation Meltdown! A mighty Great White known as Icemaw is causing trouble across the region. The UPR-17's hot burning Microjets should make a big impact in the success of the mission! So dive in with the team to assist in the fight against Icemaw!

Introducing the UPR-17 Gyro Rifle!

This Russian-developed semi-automatic rifle fires gyroscopically stabilized Microjets which accelerate and increase in stopping power the further they go.

Weapons

  • QBS-06 Rifle - This Chinese assault rifle is based on the Russian APS rifle, however it features several modifications and fires slightly larger darts.
  • ASM-DT Rifle - This Russian assault rifle was developed in the 90s and features a hybrid design allowing it to fire accurately both above and below the water.
  • Pepperbox Pistol - The Pepperbox is a multi-barrel pistol which can be modified to fire a ring of spears like a mini Volleyjet.
  • AAP-8 Pistol - The AAP-8 is a rather unique full-auto pistol which operates underwater. It makes up for its weaker stopping power with a high rate of fire.
  • LJ-16 Boxcutter - Featuring a 4x4 grid of barrels, this volley gun earned its name for being able to simultaneously shoot a square of sixteen spears.
  • Sling Spear - Although it is primitive, this rubber sling is still great for fending off sharks on a budget.
  • Torpedo Launcher - Developed by Aquatekk Industries, this portable Torpedo Launcher was designed for frogmen to attack submarines and small ships.
  • Flame Launcher - Designed at Impact Labs, the Flame Launcher lobs a specially designed projectile loaded with potassium allowing it to burst into flames underwater.
