Gun Gale Online

«Gun Gale Online» (ガンゲイル・オンライン) is a VRMMOFPS, developed and operated by an American company called Zasker, that emphasizes on gun usage. The game was created with the help of the free VRMMO game development support package, called «The Seed», and utilizes FullDive technology to set players inside a post-apocalyptic world. It is the setting for the Phantom Bullet Arc (Volume 5 and 6). One of the main events in GGO is the multi-player versus player tournament known as the Bullet of Bullets.

Gameplay Basis
The basis of gameplay is on increasing levels which in turn increase stats which are increased based on player's choices. These stats determine how a character plays and operates in the game, the interval selection can not be altered later, so players must know how they wish to develop in long-term. Also, in place of guilds and parties it uses a squadron-type team play.

Guns

 * Optical weapons - firing light-based ammunition, they are used primarily to hunt mobs. Against players, they have decreased effectiveness, and can be negated with some equipment.
 * Live-fire weapons - meant for player to player battles they are capable of ignoring most counters meant for optical weapons.

Log-out
Gun Gale Online utilizes the soul-less logout, like the system used in ALfheim Online, where the user can immediately log-out in safe zones, but in the field the body remains soul-less for a period of time and then the user is logged out. In the soul-less state, the user can be killed and have their items stolen, if their body is left unguarded.

Servers
Since its launch, up to the first Bullet of Bullets they used unified servers. After the first BoB, the servers were divided in American and Asian, making players unable to cross from one server to another, but the servers were unified again for the fourth BoB.
