FAQ
Dauntless is a co-op, action RPG. Discover a shattered world, forge powerful weapons, and hunt the ferocious behemoths threatening our survival.
Dauntless will be coming PC in 2017.
WHEN CAN I PLAY DAUNTLESS?
We are currently operating the Dauntless Tech Alpha.
Once the Tech Alpha has shown us that the game is stable, we will open the Dauntless Founder's Alpha to players who have purchased Founder's Packs.
After this test, we will go into the Dauntless Closed Beta this summer.
Dauntless will then go into Open Beta this Fall.
WILL DAUNTLESS BE COMING TO CONSOLES?
We're not currently planning a PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or Switch version of Dauntless — but never say never!

Yes. Dauntless will natively support many controllers, including the Xbox 360 and Xbox One gamepads.

WILL THERE BE DAUNTLESS SERVERS OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA?
Yes. We're comitted to creating a great experience for slayers around the world, including Europe, Asia, and Australia. To this end, we'll have servers to support players wherever they are.
WHAT IS RAMSGATE
Ramsgate is the social center where you meet fellow slayers, enhance and craft gear, select missions, and interact with other slayers. 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 I MAKE MY OWN CHARACTER?
Yes! You'll start be creating your Slayer from scratch. From there, you'll change their abilities by crafting weapons and armour.
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! You can read the first crafting blog for a broad idea of how crafting will work. More details to come.
WHAT WEAPONS AND ARMOUR WILL BE AVAILABLE?
We're still planning to announce many more weapons and armor options, but you can get your first taste in this blog post.
WILL THERE BE A RANGED WEAPON?
Yes. We are planning to have at least one ranged weapon.
WILL THERE BE ONE CONTINUOUS WORLD, OR WILL DAUNTLESS USE INSTANCES?
You will form your group of slayers in Ramsgate and then head off to one of the many, many islands. The islands are pretty good in size and the terrain is varied. To give you an idea of size, the flare seen in the trailer is used to signal your location to other slayers if you split up.
ARE ISLANDS SPLIT INTO SMALLER AREAS?
Islands are "seamless". You will not need to load between areas.
WILL THERE BE FRIENDLY FIRE?
No.
WILL THERE BE SMALLER BEHEMOTHS ON ISLANDS?
While we are working on 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 make 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!
WILL DAUNTLESS HAVE GUILDS/CLANS?
Yes! You can learn more about how guilds will function in this blog post.
WILL THERE BE A LEADERBOARD OR 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, the least of which is 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 THERE BE PETS?
We are not planning on having combat-enabled pets at launch.
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.
CAN ARMOUR BE MODIFIED OR TWEAKED?
Slayers can tweak what their armour and equipment does with different armour sets — mixing and matching abilities.. We'll have more information about this soon!
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 NEW WEAPONS AND BEHEMOTHS AFTER LAUNCH?
Yes, One of the great things about being a free to play game is that we will continue to add more content, including weapons, after the game is released without needing to wait for large "expansion packs"
