Get the Dark Sector [PS3/X360] Trailer off WP (10/11/15/15mb)
Tenno, an elite black-ops agent sent on a dangerous assassination mission into Lasria – an Eastern European city on the brink of ruin that hides a deadly Cold War secret. Attacked by an unknown enemy, he awakens to find part of his body altered by an infection that has granted him inhuman abilities. Now, Hayden must learn to evolve along with his powers, to survive and to become a hero.
Created by acclaimed developer Digital Extremes, Dark Sector is a new and original action-thriller designed exclusively for next-generation consoles. A dark, gritty experience packed with fast action, incredible superpowers and an engaging story; Dark Sector represents the next evolution of action gaming.
Hammer 1895
Modeled after a classic double-action revolver used by the old Tsarist army, this high powered six-shooter had a limited production run and was issued only to high-ranking KGB during the outbreak in 1987. Regarded for its accuracy and durability, the Hammer also has tremendous stopping power, gaining you an advantage over infected civilians and raging metallic beasts.
Striker
The Striker short-barrel shotgun is one of the most reliably lethal weapons in close-quarters combat. Its generous spread and extraordinary stopping power makes it ideal for entry use, but the Striker is more frequently praised for its ability to handle multiple targets in pressure situations. It will rip through flesh and shatter bone at close range; human targets or otherwise. It has a traditional locking system, feeding and firing mechanism, metal stock with fixed sight, and a base capacity of 6 rounds.
TEKNA Burst Pistol
This compact pistol has the style and reliability of its 9mm predecessor, but has been modified to fire in three round bursts, and upgraded with a generous clip size. Its compact design and weight makes it very portable and easily concealed, but its versatility is best demonstrated in close-quarters combat and crowd control situations.
VX Carbine
A tribute to the designs of older carbine rifle models, the VX Carbine high powered rifle is crafted with a durable, non-glare composite stock, and palm swell for proper finger to trigger positioning. High-velocity rounds will drop armored infantry and infected civilians with a single trigger pull. A standard cartridge will give you 6 shots, and the mounted optical sight zooms in on targets spotted at longer ranges. Upgrades to this model are available from underground arms dealers.
