“Lockpicking” Sneak Peek | February 27th
The sneak peek was released on Twitter, and showcased a lockpicking system that would appear in-game. The system appears to be similar to the Dying Light series or most Bethesda games (Notably Fallout 4 and Skyrim).

It was the first sneak-peek released for the Blackout Revamp.

“M79 Thumper” Sneak Peek | March 1st
The sneak peek revealed the model of a M79 Thumper, with its leaf-type sights unfolded. It was the first weapon model that was revealed to the public.

A later sneak-peek would reveal the M79 Thumper while in-game.

"Parkour" Sneak Peek | March 5th
The sneak peek showcased a parkour mechanic, which would allow the player to climb and hang on pipes and edges.

It was the first animation showcase revealed to the public.

"Looting/Grenades" Sneak Peek | March 16th
The sneak peek showcased a looting system, as well as two types of grenades. Players are able to loot dead bodies, and can take single-use items, cash, and valuables the body had.

The grenades showcased in the sneak peek appear to be based on the M84 Stun Grenade and the M67 Fragmentation Grenade. The grenades seem to have a arm-time when thrown, which takes around 1-2 to detonate.

While affected by the Stun Grenade, the player can see nothing but a black screen for 5 seconds while it fades out. 5 seconds later, the effect slowly begins to wear off. In all, the Stun Grenade effect lasts for 18 seconds.

This video also shows a "Hunger" bar G.U.I. in the bottom-left corner.

"Rain/Mini-map/Tasks" Sneak Peek | March 18th
This sneak peek showcased the new rain, minimap, and the task system. It demonstrates the new task system, having a similar GUI to the armory NPC from 2021 version of blackout. The task shown in the video has the player carry a backpack to another NPC. The NPCs location can also be seen in the minimap. Surprisingly, the player's location is shown after 5 seconds of receiving the package. This may help against farmers who may constantly do this task over and over again.

“M4” Sneak Peek | April 11th

“Mechanics” Sneak Peek | April 17th
This sneak peek showcased multiple mechanics and the looting systems. Buckle up for this one.

Silver first showcased a dance gui/prompt. It has the basic Roblox animations, wave, point, sit, and dance. It has the similar green-ish futuristic style as with the other GUIs. There were then the new looting system, having duffel bags include guns, cash, and valuables instead of the more common “looting from the floor” type.

The new gun system is on full display here, With Silver using the SPAS-12 with a green laser and a reflex/simple red dot sight. It seems to be pretty similar to the previous gun system, but with a few changes.

The last showcase we got was a cross hair color picker, in which the color of the crosshair could be chosen by the settings GUI.

“Katana” Sneak Peek | April 24th
This sneak peak showcased a custom katana. It has a generally yellow-black tone.

“GL-06” Sneak Peek | May 4th
