Meet the Cartels of Side-Scrolling Online Shooter SIDE BULLET

Seoul, South Korea, August 10th, 2023 - South Korean studio PressA have today revealed all new info detailing the nine cartels that players can choose from in their upcoming side-scrolling online shooter SIDE BULLET.

Coming to PlayStation 5 later this year as a free-to-play title, SIDE BULLET is a 2D take on the online shooter. Set in an urban concrete jungle, players will be pitted against both each other and strange monsters. Choose a fighter from one of nine cartels, each offering its own passive skill as a Unique Perk. Here's a brief overview of the different cartels players can choose from:

King Juarez - The Gangsters

Led by drug lord Miguel de Juarez, this cartel is armed with staggeringly strong shields and high machine gun damage.

Vedmak - The Prisoners

A killer group of criminals gifted with extra high health and extra fast-firing submachine guns, allowing for hot-blooded brutality.

Saraph Scouts - The Soldiers

This multinational mercenary group is equipped with extra high shotgun damage and strong armor for those who like to get up close and personal.

SEED - The Agents

This informal organization of crooked cops and retired agents are equipped with high rifle and light machine gun damage, along with a shorter grappling hook cooldown for enhanced mobility. They're fast and mean business.

EEPHUS - The Hipsters

A disruptive cabal of free spirits who rebel against the system. This cartel allows you to play ahead of everyone with extra fast sniper rifle reloading speeds and starting coins.

DMC12 - The Nerds

A criminal cartel of gaming enthusiasts who rule the dark web. Their generous magazines and high grappling hook damage make for a tactical threat.

Rocket Cowl - The Psychos

This ruthless psychopathic cartel loves nothing more than explosions and reveals their strength through explosive weapons.

NOMAD - The Rookies

A group of lone wolves unaffiliated with any cartel. Their fast reloading and recovery rate allow Nomads to play aggressively.

EFFICENT - The Scientists

These mad lab rats will do anything for the sake of academic curiosity. They can deal electricity damage to all firearms and have a short cooldown on mechanical special weapons, allowing for efficient play.

Cartels have a number of special weapons, weapon-specific parts, and skill customizations for these unique traits. Even if you choose the same Cartel, there are many strategic options within them, so create your own strategy!
