……………………………………………………………………………………..

Loadouts are a major element of success in Rising Heat, with countless combinations of pilots, ships, and hacks that can be upgraded, integrated, or fused for maximum effect. Fusing hacks lets you discover synergies that cater to your exact needs. When flying in co-op mode, coordination becomes critical. Your ship is linked to your partner’s by a deadly energy beam that can tear through enemies, but uncoordinated movement can yank your wingman into danger.
How you battle in the arena is up to you, Captain.

- Do a Barrel Roll!: Master a dynamic momentum-based movement system. Line up multiple enemies to execute a flurry of precise tackles, dealing devastating damage while bouncing between a barrage of enemy bullets!
- Customize Your Loadout: Each cockpit has a limited inventory in which the pilot can upgrade, integrate, and fuse hacks together to create varied builds. Different strategies in the shop, hack positioning, action order, and even negative stats will help get the most out of every build.
- Plan of Attack: A strong pilot must plan out their runs, including which pilot, ship, hacks, and weapons to equip. As the aliens learn to adapt, how does a successful pilot stay one step ahead?
- Fly With a Friend: In co-op mode, two pilots are linked by a supercharged beam, creating opportunities for mass destruction…assuming they’ve got each other’s backs.
