Sulphur Coming to PS5, PS4 in Early 2025 – PlayStation.Blog

Welcome to the magical and strange world of Sulphur – where every weapon is a canvas, and every upgrade adds a new layer of strategy and chaos. Today, we’re excited to explore the Roguelike FPS’s weapon upgrade system – a feature that’s as unpredictable and exciting as the game itself.

In Sulphur, weapon customization isn’t just about tweaking stats – it’s about creating your own combat experience. Our system is designed to let you experiment with a wide range of modifications, including attachments, magic scrolls, caliber changes, and different oils. Each choice can dramatically change how your weapon performs and how it fits your playstyle. Expect to experience the action on PS5 and PS4 in early 2025.

Attached: The Basics

Let’s start with attachments. They can be added to any weapon at any time without having to unlock special slots. Attachments come in several main types:

• Scope: Upgrade your weapons and improve your long-range aiming, which will hopefully bring more accuracy to your shots.
• Silencer: Reduces the dispersion of shots, helping you maintain accuracy when firing rapidly.
• Box extension: The barrel expands and controls recoil, making your weapon more stable during continuous firing.

There’s also the Gun Crank, which turns any weapon into a semi-automatic weapon, and the red dot sight system that provides accuracy even when aiming from the hip. Each attachment changes the weapon’s stats, such as spread, recoil, and critical chance, allowing for a more personalized combat experience.

Improve your weapons

As your weapons gain experience and level up, they unlock additional slots for spells and oils. These modifications provide deeper customization, allowing you to tailor your arsenal to fit your unique playstyle.

• Magic scroll Add elemental effects to your weapons, such as fire or ice, or other spells that make your bullets explode or turn into flying missiles, making each shot more destructive and versatile.
• Oil offers a surprising variety of benefits and drawbacks, from increased damage to altered fire rate. With over 180 different oils, you can experiment to find the perfect combination for your needs.

From these core elements of Sulfur’s weapon enhancement system, we get a plethora of moving parts and controllable variables, all of which combine weapons Up to 35 million possible configurations in total. This isn’t just about adding accessories; it’s about completely re-tuning your weapon into different calibers, such as 9mm, 12Ga, 5.56, 7.62, .50 BMG. Each caliber swap will transform the performance of your weapon and by adding oils and enchantments, you’ll be given a myriad of tactical weapons!

Weapon light

We know that “35 million” combinations sounds like a hyperbolic number, and not all of them make sense, but it illustrates the immense depth of customization available in Sulphur! With so many weapons, combined with all the attachments, spells, and gun oils, the possibilities are practically endless. To give you an idea of ​​how these modifications can transform your arsenal, let’s take a look at some standout weapons straight from the developers!

Weapon Focus: P38 Dirk, re-chambered to .50BMG

P38 Dirk: This trusty starter gun has more potential than most people think. In this case, my colleague upgraded it to Level 3 and re-bored it to fire .50 BMG rounds, combined with a few recoil reduction modifications revealed one of its hidden potentials!

• Oil is ready: Reduced both recoil force and rounds per minute, ensuring more controllable recoil and slower but more targeted fire.
• Modern Oil Technology: This oil reduces kick force for improved control while creating a 10% chance of consuming an extra bullet per shot. It strikes a balance between reduced recoil and a slight increase in bullet consumption.
• Low recoil oil: Reduces recoil, allowing for smoother and more consistent shooting. This oil works synergistically with Modern Technology Oil to ensure each shot is better controlled.
• 6″ Barrel Extension: Increase the length of the barrel, reduce recoil, help control and stability when shooting.
• Sniper scope: Improves critical strike chance. While it doesn’t affect aiming accuracy, especially with strong recoil, it does increase the chance of landing high damage attacks.

With these improvements, the P38 Dirk becomes a powerful, long-range weapon capable of delivering accurate, high-damage critical hits. Its increased firepower and improved controllability make it a valuable asset in any high-risk combat situation.

Weapon Focus: Drifter 9 – Enchant with a blaster

When ranked, oiled and enchanted, even The Wanderer 9 becomes a formidable submachine gun with many potentials:

• Exploding paper roll: Imparts an explosive elemental effect to your bullets, causing them to explode on impact and deal splash damage to nearby enemies.
• Elephant Oil: Enlarges bullets by +200% in scale and adds +2 bullets per shot, making them more destructive. While this increases the size and spread of the bullets, it reduces damage by -25% and slows movement speed by -50%.
• Pool oil: Significantly reduces your movement speed but grants Drifter 9 the ability to make bullets bounce off surfaces. This bouncing effect allows you to hit targets around corners or in cover, adding a tactical advantage to your shots.
• Cutting machine oil: Adds +1 ammo per shot and increases spread, making the weapon more chaotic. However, it reduces damage by -20% and prevents harvesting organs from dead enemies.

The combination of these changes makes the Drifter 9 a powerful weapon with chaotic bounce and spread, perfect for players who enjoy a varied and disruptive fighting style.
