Recently, the authors of the Russian MMO-shooter PIONER published a new teaser. They showed a group of mysterious characters and presented a small lore description:
«Unknown individuals in plate armor have been spotted all over the island. They speak in a formulaic manner, are extremely unsociable, and are armed to the teeth. There are various rumors about them, but everyone who has seen them in battle agrees on one thing: the armored ones hunt raiders and mercenaries. And they are merciless in battle.»
They wipe out entire camps, regardless of any casualties; it is important for them to fulfill their hidden purpose, even if an innocent person dies in the shootout. So, you sit and wonder: what is their purpose? Why are they accompanying our agents? Why are they here? What brought them to Tartarus? We still have to figure this out.»
Some participants in the discussion decided that the developers borrowed ideas from another project and asked, «Copied the Monolith?»
A representative of the PIONER team responded to the comments and made it clear that there are significant differences: «The armored ones are quite different from the stone lovers; we hope that you will soon be able to get to know them better.»
