It’s live now on PC

Boss Key has opened up theLawBreakersbeta for the long weekend, and I’d implore you to try it if you’re at all interested in arena shooters. I’m not always, but I found it to be good, hectic-but-still-manageable fun. Brett and I played the game together once, a year ago, and we gotway into it.
