    The combat is basically that of a first person shooter. But the camera can move from a first person perspective to a third person perspective. In order to hit targets players will have to manually keep targets in a reticule although skills will still be used to influence combat in other ways. There will be no "target locking". The game will feature thousands of equipment and accessories that vary in strength for players to craft and put into 22 equipment slots. Equipment can be worn in a variety of different ways for example, wearing a baseball cap forwards or backwards, tucking or untucking a shirt. etc. You will be able to carry a maximum of 6 weapons and will all be part of your characters appearance. Vehicles also have a role in Fallen Earth, with each vehicle differing in carrying capacity, type of fuel, weapons, and efficiency.

    Plot

    The story of Fallen Earth starts around the 21st century, when the first of many natural disasters hit the United States. As people struggle to recover, an investment tycoon buys a mega-corporation called GlobalTech. By the year 2051 he moves the company to the Grand Canyon, where they eventually create a self-sufficient military and economic state. During this, in India and Pakistan a deadly virus appeared among the human population; as the infection started to spread all of the countries of the world, even Sweden, started accusing each other of engineering the virus. Paranoia turned into an all-out nuclear conflict. The war, combined with the virus, ravaged the entire planet. Less than one percent of the Earth's human population survived, and today the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam are the only known large outposts of human life.
