Boundary Error creating thumbnail: File missing Boxart Release Date: April 13, 2023 Developer: Surgical Scalpels Publisher: Skystone Games, Huya Games Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One Genre: First-Person Shooter

Boundary is a first-person tactical arena shooter that pits players in two-team low-gravity space engagements, with a somewhat similar premise to Rainbow Six Siege split character teams and round-based matches. A demo for the game was available in February 2023, and the game was fully released on April 13th, 2023.

Boundary stands out from the FPS genre as it is the first full-fledged title set in space. The players take control of several combat-ready astronauts with their dedicated strike packages, akin to the operators/heroes with unique abilities in different games. There are two factions available in the game, Solar System Defences and Vacuum Exiles. Its to be noted that the arsenal in Boundary was specifically tuned to fit space combat, like extended trigger guards to fit astronauts' gloves or removal of all wooden furniture.

The following weapons appear in the video game Boundary:

Handguns

Stechkin APB

A modified, white-painted Stechkin machine pistol is one of the sidearms and comes standard for Orlan. It is presumably made from the APB variant with the compensator mounted on the APB's extended barrel. There is no suppressor modification available in game, though the wire stock is.

Yanking the slide to release it, probably as the EVA suit gloves are too thick to properly actuate the catch.

Rifles

AK pattern carbine

An AKM pattern carbine is available as the "TK47" - it comes with a short AIMR-style barrel by default, but a standard length AKM barrel is an available unlock. This is a starting weapon for the astronaut Orlan.

Sniper Rifles

The "SVD" appears to be based on a short barreled SVD carbine, somewhat similar to the SVDM.

The rechambering animation is dynamic, sometimes it's done underhanded as seen here or with the right hand.

Type 53 Mosin carbine

A heavily customized Chinese Type 53 Mosin Nagant carbine appears as the "M53" and is exclusive to the Marksman role.

"Generic Soldier Weapon" series

The collection of firearms available in the Boundary are built around a fictitious "Generic Soldier Weapon" platform, which mainly consists of an IWI X95 style cutlass trigger pack and various sci-fi receiver bits. The "-AR" and "-PCC" variations have a similar X95 style bullpup weapon layout, and the "-SMG" variant is similar to a KRISS Vector. This is the total list of GSW firearms:

• GSW-AR
• GSW-AMR
• GSW-PCC
• GWC-SMG
• GWC-DMR
• GWC-CARKIT
• GWC-IDW
• GWC-FOP
• GWC-CDP
• GWC-MG

GSW-AR

The "GSW-AR", with AR standing for Assault Rifle, is put together in a bullpup package with some resemblance to an entire IWI X95 rifle.

It has a side bolt catch that gets slapped when empty.

GSW-PCC

The "GSW-PCC" is a pistol-caliber counterpart to the -AR, and swaps the top handguard and Picatinny rail for a carry handle vaguely like that of the OTs-14 Groza.

GSW-SMG

The "GSW-SMG" variant is another SMG, this time in a package fairly similar to a KRISS Vector.

On the reload, the old straight stick magazine is pulled out, but fails to clear astronaut's working area completely...

...so it gets knocked away when shoving in the new mag. Note the straight magazines, compared to regular Glock pistol mags used in the Vector.
