Gameplay and Systems
Dauntless is a challenging game that pushes you to improve your skills as a Slayer and become an invaluable member of hunting parties. We believe that a legend is forged, not purchased.
What weapons are available?
The Sword, Axe, Hammer and Chain Blades are currently available. The War Pike has been announced and will be introduced in December’s Sharpen Your Skills update. We're still planning to announce many more weapons, including a weapon that focuses on ranged combat.
Will there be ranged weapons?
Yes. We are planning to have at least one ranged weapon. The War Pike is our first foray into ranged combat — let us know what you think!
Does Dauntless have classes?
Dauntless does not feature a traditional "class system.”
Instead, each weapon will have its own unique attacks, abilities, strengths, and weaknesses.
We want players to be able to approach each situation dynamically by changing their loadout without locking anyone into a rigid role.
Will Dauntless have crafting?
Yes! Crafting of weapons, armour, lanterns, and items is made possible by acquiring materials gathered in the Shattered Isles.
You will gather materials by slaying behemoths, focusing on breaking particular parts of behemoths (such as horns or tails), and by completing from quests.
Will there be one continuous world, or will Dauntless use instances?
You will form your hunting party in Ramsgate and then head off to one of many instanced islands. Islands are seamless and do not have loading zones.
Is there friendly fire?
No. Your attacks do not cause damage to fellow slayers and it does not interrupt their movement.
Will there be smaller Behemoths on islands?
While we do have multi-Behemoth encounters, we are not planning to have smaller or lesser version of behemoths roaming around. However, there are smaller creatures (like rams!) roaming around that you can interact with.
Will there be “named” behemoths?
There are, in fact, rumours of especially terrifying and deadly behemoths that carry their own legends...
Will there be larger behemoths for parties larger than four?
We're committed to making making 4-player encounters as fun as we can. We may explore larger encounters in the future, but four slayers is the maximum at launch.
Will Dauntless have PvP?
Dauntless will not have PvP at launch, but we are looking into these elements for the future. Let us know what you think!
Can armour be modified or tweaked?
Yes. Slayers can modify and optimize their gear using the cell system, which you can learn more about here.
Will Dauntless feature arts/mounting?
We want to nail down the core of Dauntless combat before moving onto systems like mounting,etc. Combat will be fast, visceral, and satisfying — and there will be ways to differentiate your combat style with different weapon special attacks.
Will there be pets?
We are not planning on having combat-enabled pets at launch. Tweet @Gtez and bug him about it!
Will there be cooking?
Probably not at launch. We have a lot of dedicated cooks and gourmands in the studio, though, so don't be surprised if making tasty treats becomes a part of Dauntless in the future.
Social Systems
Will Dauntless have guilds/clans?
Yes! You can learn more about guilds in this blog post.
Will there be leaderboards or a similar feature?
Some of our favorite memories in gaming involve cooperative competition and we want to bring those experiences to Dauntless. We're experimenting with the best way to do that. If it's leaderboards, then we will pursue that.
Will there be trading?
No. For many reasons, including that we really want players to OWN their own victories. Much like we're against "pay for power", we want players' presentation to reflect their experiences.
Will Dauntless support official speedrunning?
We're big fans of the speedrunning community and appreciate the potential for truly epic runs and the benefit this would bring to the game. We are working to explore speedrunning and how we can support this community. :TriHard:
World and Story
Dauntless takes place in the world of the Shattered Isles. It is a savage, untamed land of floating islands, mysterious power, and deadly adventure. As a Slayer, your legend begins in the city of Ramsgate . Your duty is to defend humanity from the onslaught of deadly creatures known as Behemoths.
Will I make my own character?
Yes! You'll start by creating your Slayer from scratch. From there, you'll change their abilities by crafting weapons and armour.
What is Ramsgate?
Ramsgate is the social center where you meet and interact with fellow Slayers, enhance and craft gear and embark on missions. It's a living, breathing place that we know you'll love spending time in.
Will Dauntless have a story/lore?
Yes! Absolutely! The Shattered Isles is a living, breathing place with a history and a future that you will help shape.
Will there be seasonal content?
Yes. We are looking forward to hosting several events in the future. In the past, we’ve celebrated the Dark Harvest.
