Hop in your own customized cars, semis, and motorcycles and prepare to fight the mutated creatures and bandits of Auto Assault's post-apocalyptic world. Battle other players both in arenas and in epic race vs. race wars for control of the regions in a devastated Earth. Auto Assault uses the power of the Havok physics engine to let you make insane jumps, send obstacles flying and even blast bridges, buildings, fences and trees with your car-mounted rockets. Anything you can hit, you can destroy!

While the Biomek Order has no qualms with eliminating any lifeform that impedes its goals, it prefers to neutralize and incorporate its enemies when possible. This involves offering them the priceless opportunity to be biomechanized and join the Order. Those who at first reject the offer are typically persuaded by overwhelming force. Wasteland drifters like Pikes and Scavs have an unfortunate tendency to more or less die in the enhancement process, and those who physically survive are often crippled by the psychological dissonance caused by assuming a radical new identity.

While all this is spoken of in hushed tones, such whisperings have still spread far across the Central Wastelands. Less widely known, even within the Biomek Order itself, is the existence of the latest generation of this program. Across the infamous Moat that forms the defensive edge of the Biomek Protectorate, the Order fights its oldest enemy: The vile Mutant tribes. And at the bottom of that pit, driven beyond mental dissonance to pure madness, are the results of failures from the bioenhancement program applied to select Mutant subjects. These "Biomutes," pariahs to both their native tribes and their Biomek benefactors, value only chaos and destruction. Recognizing, in its fashion, the collateral uses of these rejected experiments, the Order has dumped them in the Moat to dissuade invaders.
