Full Metal Panic! Fight: Who Dares Wins details systems, Arm Slaves, and characters
Bandai Namco has released new information and screenshots of Full Metal Panic! Fight! Who Dares Wins introducing the game’s systems, Arm Slaves, and characters.
Get the details below.
■ Tactical Map
In Full Metal Panic! Fight! Who Dares Wins, heated battles between Arm Slaves will unfold during battle parts known as the “Tactical Map.” Each map will see the appearance of various battle fields that previously appeared in Full Metal Panic. Not only will battles unfold will battles unfold in the suburbs, there will also be battles on the outskirts of Jindai Municipal High School and in the arena of the Southeast Asian city of “Namusaku.”
—The outskirts of Jindai Municipal High School.
—The arena.
Arbalest runs across the wasteland. Full Metal Panic! Fight! Who Dares Wins is not turn-based, but uses an action order system. You can switch between weapons with a single touch while moving. (Of course, you can also re-select weapons before the battle.)
The screenshot below shows the gauge that indicates the action order. In this way, it is clear which Arm Slave will take action next. If Sousuke chooses “Wait,” then…
The action order will change to Mao. It should be noted that the action order is determined by parameters such as the “load” of the Arm Slave and the “Action Level” of the operator, in addition to the actions taken immediately before and so on.
■ The Body of an Arm Slave
An Arm Slave’s body consists of four parts—Body, Head, Arms, and Legs—and each part has its own HP. Certain conditions are required in order to target parts, such as specific skills or weapons.
Here is the breakdown of each part:
Head: As its HP falls, hit and evasion also falls.
Body: When its HP reaches zero, the Arm Slave will crash.
Arms: As its HP falls, attack power also falls.
Legs: When its HP reaches zero, movement power drops significantly, and it is no longer possible to climb elevated ground.
*Destruction of parts will not disable the use of certain weapons.
Laevatein’s single molecule cutter destroys M6 Bushnell’s arms, causing its attack power to fall.
Here we see Kurz’ Gernsback destroying Shadow’s head with a 57mm smoothbore gun. Since Shadow’s hit and evasion is lowered, you will have a big advantage when facing this enemy.
However, there danger does exist in the destruction of parts on the ally side. There is no way to recover a part once its HP reaches zero, so be sure not to forget to recover often.
■ Weapon Selection
A great number of weapons will appear in Full Metal Panic! Fight! Who Dares Wins. Weapons have various traits depending on their classification, such as being able to use parts-target attacks, or being able to make up for a low accuracy rate with number of hits.
Carried weapons can be freely selected before a mission, but in addition to the overall weight and load ratio affecting action order, if the overall weight exceeds the load, action order will be considerably delayed. Choosing the weapons that match your strategy is the key to winning the battle.
—Arbalest’s overall weight in the following screenshot is 275. Since the load is 800, there is still extra room to equip weapons.
—In order to handle various situations, the 35mm rifle is removed and several other weapons are selected in its place. Arbalest’s overall weight is now 735, but with the power to handle various situations, it is expected to have greater power to continue the battle.
■ Weapon Classifications
An introduction to some of the weapon types.
Rapid-Fire Weapons
Can be used after moving. Since they have a high amount of hits, their accuracy rate is low, but a hit among those several rounds can be expected.
—Rapid-Fire Weapon: Kratos 2-Cannon Machine Gun
Shotguns (Armor-Piercing Ammo)
Can be used after moving. They has high power, but since they only hit once, whether or not you deal damage to the part you are aiming at is a gamble.
Can be used after moving. Although they can equally damage all parts in situations when they hit, even destroyed parts will be equally damaged. Also, since they only hit once, caution is necessary when accuracy rate is low.
—Shotgun (Buckshot): Boxer (Buckshot)
Handguns
—Handgun: 25mm Handgun
While their power and number of hits are not that great, they is ligher than other weapons, and there is little affect on the action order after their use.
Missiles
—Missile: Versile II

■ Character Strengthening
By spending OP (Operator Points), which are your team’s shared resources, you can acquire new skills for your characters.
The game uses skill tree and skill level systems, and in order to acquire specific skills, you must first develop the prerequisite skills to a certain level or higher.
The higher your level raises, the more powerful skill effects become, but the OP necessary to acquire them will jump. Whether you invest your OP into a certain character, or use it to raise your overall battle power, the decision is up to you.
—The protagonist Sousuke Sagara’s skill tree. By acquiring Level 1 of the “Shooting Value” skill, you can then acquire the “Mid-Range Battle Up” skill. Acquire various skills based on your play style.
—Kurz Weber and Belfangan Clouseau’s skill trees. Skill trees are different for each character, making it easier to skills that match that character’s area of expertise. However, excluding some exclusive skills, all party members can acquire all of the same skills.
■ Tactical Support
Durring missions, you can receive support from Mithril’s amphibious assault submarine “Tuatha de Danaan.”
In order to receive support, you need to possess the “Support Request” skill, but whichever support command you choose will be extremely powerful. There’s “Attack Support,” which is an unevadable missile attack on a fixed range of enemies, and “Supply Support,” which can drop supplies at designated coordintes that can recover HP, ammunition, and the like.
However, you may not be able to receive support depending on the mission, so be careful.
—When receiving support, a cut-in from Tessa will appear on the screen.

CyberConnect2 details Next Plan strategy, Trilogy of Vengeance titles
CyberConnect2 has launched the official website for its “Next Plan,” its new original project strategy for the next decade, through which it will begin developing its own original properties that it will self-publish worldwide.
Get the details below.
Thanks to the support of our loving fans and fellow members of the industry, CyberConnect2 is celebrating its 23rd anniversary this year.
From the bottom of our hearts, we’d sincerely like to thank the players of our games from all around the world, our clients who have given us the task of creating quality games for so many years, as well as the creators and staff who have cooperated with us every step of the way.
For the first ten years following CyberConnect2’s establishment, we strived to make the world know the name of our company. In the 10 years following that, our president Hiroshi Matsuyama validated and confirmed everything that had been put into place, and used this foundation to pass the torch and create a stronger, better place for creation.
After celebrating our 20th anniversary, Matsuyama decided that a new strategy had to be drawn out in order to make CyberConnect2 a stronger place that will be able to create even more engrossing content in the years to come. Today, we reveal that plan for the world to see.
■ Next Plan: The Future of CyberConnect2
The next decade of CyberConnect2’s publishing….
—New Original Project Strategy—
As part of our plan for the next ten years, CyberConnect2 will begin developing its own completely original properties.
CC2 isn’t just a developer anymore–We’ll be publishing our own titles for the entire world to enjoy!
A Message from CyberConnect2 President and CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama
■ Publishing Project “C5”: Announcing 3 Completely Original Projects!
In addition to the large-scope/long-period development projects we were focusing on, we are announcing 3 completely original titles, with 3 concpets in mind. “Small-scope/short-period development”; “Short playtime” and “Low-price”.
C5
C5 Stands for “CyberConnect Creative Challenge Competition”. C5 is a scheme which started with the goal of creating projects that can be published in-house.
“A5” is an abbreviation of “Astonishing,” “Ambitious,” Advanced,” “Amazing,” and “Animation.” A5 was established in order to create brand new original anime projects based off of concepts and stories created within CyberConnect2.
Projects are already being planned at this very moment!
■ CyberConnect2 to Assist with the Production of the MECHA-UDE Anime
We will be providing extensive assistance to animation studio TriF Studio to help make their original anime MECHA-UDE a reality!
CyberConnect2 is looking for new team members to join our family and help work on the development of “fuga on the Battlefield,” “Tokyo Ogre Gate,” and “Cecile,” our three new, completely original game projects. You could be a part of a game that will be played by gamers all over the world!
Recruitment Message
We’ve made the decision to announce our newest titles before they’ve even begun development. You may ask: “Why?”
It’s because we want prospective creators to take a look at these new projects we have to offer, and possibly even help us bring these ideas to life. It’s because we want to start once more from square one–with all of you.
It’s rare for someone who’s just joined a game company to immediately be put into an important position on a brand new project. After all, new staff members are usually assigned to already-in-place large projects, and then work their way up little by little.
However, this time, things are different. This time, we’re trying to put short-development-time, small-budget projects into motion as a new system of game production. We are fully prepared to put someone with like-minded aspirations, skills, and experience to take on an important position right off the bat and serve as the backbone for one of our new projects.
This is a call to all people who feel something missing in today’s gaming landscape.
This is a call to all dreamers who see our new projects and think, “This is how I’d design it.”
This is a call to all creators who have the skills and experience to make imagination a reality.
If you’re ready to work with us to change the gaming world as we know it, apply to become a member of CyberConnect2 today!
We Need Talented and Passionate Developers For Our New Projects!!
For more details, please check the “Employment” section of the CyberConnect2 website.
