A New Entry in the Scraper Universe

Scraper: Gauntlet is a new standalone story in the Scraper universe, taking place concurrently with Scraper: First Strike. The megacities of the world are under siege by Humech forces. In an effort to turn the tide of battle, a leading AI scientist has devised a plan to recover highly classified weapon from an abandoned lab, a pair of advanced military gauntlets that house the latest in experimental munitions and reality-bending tech. Each Gauntlet contains three base weapons that are highly customizable and were specifically designed to counter Humech abilities.
