About UNDERDOGS
UNDERDOGS is a free multiplayer DLC that drops you into a chaotic underground arena where you control a massive metal ape. The combat is physics‑driven, letting you smash, bash and crush enemy bots and mechs with five tons of metal.
Set in the law‑less city of New Brakka, the game mixes rogue‑like loot collection with a gritty underworld of 40+ NPCs, gangsters and hackers. You build a heavily armed mech from over 130 items while a supportive “bruv King” watches your progress.
01 / THE GUIDE
Core Combat
Players become a giant metal ape, wrapping themselves in five tons of metal to rampage through hordes of enemy bots and mechs. The combat relies on physics, so each hit delivers weight‑based knock‑back and destruction.
The arena is described as a dark underground mech‑fighting scene filled with roaring crowds. The noise and visual chaos emphasize the high‑intensity melee that defines the primary gameplay loop.
- Position yourself to maximize the weight‑based impact of each swing.
- Watch crowd reactions; they often signal when enemies are vulnerable.

Loot and Upgrades
UNDERDOGS features a rogue‑like system with more than 130 items, weapons and power tools. Collecting these pieces lets you assemble a heavily armed mech that can dominate the arena.
The loot is central to progression; each new item can shift the balance of power, encouraging players to experiment with different combinations to create an over‑powered killing machine.
- Prioritize items that boost melee damage for faster enemy clearance.
- Mix power tools with weapons to discover unexpected synergies.

City and NPCs
The setting is a dangerous jungle‑like city run by gangsters and psychos. Over 40 NPCs populate the world, offering opportunities to hire hackers, saboteurs, or engage in street fights.
Interactions let you steal, sell or betray, shaping your path through the underworld while you pursue the goal of rescuing the King’s life.
- Talk to hackers early; they can provide tactical advantages.
- Balance aggression with caution when dealing with volatile NPCs.
