[About Black Vultures: Prey of Greed]

Black Vultures: Prey of Greed is a tactical FPS set in a fractured warzone where trust is scarce, resources are limited, and every mission begins with a choice. Navigate abandoned infrastructure and hostile zones. Intercept transmissions, gather intel, and complete your objective—before rival squads get there first. Choose your battles carefully. The deeper you go, the higher the risk—but the greater the reward.

[Core Features]

Three-Faction Conflict

Battle between three rival squads in an unforgiving warzone. No teams. No alliances. Just shifting tactics and uncertain outcomes.

Life Ticket System
Each team starts with a shared pool of lives. Once depleted, respawns end and survival becomes personal. Every life matters.

Team-Based Looting
Loot is stored in a shared squad inventory and only granted upon extraction. Coordination is key. Greed is a risk.


[Community-Driven Development]
With the Steam Alpha Playtest on the horizon, community feedback will directly influence the future of Black Vultures. Through a Community-Driven Development approach, the team at THISMEANSWAR is building the game hand-in-hand with players.


Help shape the experience. Let us know what works, what doesn’t, and what makes every match worth playing. Join the discussion on Discord and help define the battlefield.
