Launch[]
- The Phantasm (voiced by Troy Baker) - a mysterious and cynical mercenary and assassin who keeps everything about himself a secret as he changes his affiliations and sides on the flip of a dime as he is quite shadowy and claims to be the best sniper out of all of the Disaster Masters, keeping his true affiliations close to his chest.
- Kimiko Shimura/Ronin (voiced by Alpha Takahashi) - a gruff and rebellious heir to the global criminal organization known as the Golden Grasp as she doesn't want anything to do with it, becoming a fugitive to her own family as she steals a cybernetic exosuit that allows her to teleport and use a mechanical blade, becoming a Disaster Master to find a way to take down the Golden Grasp.
- Delilah Schmidt/Cheetah (voiced by Erica Lindbeck) - a danger-loving yet honorable professional thief and mercenary who steals valuable gems and other treasures for herself and those in need, as she sports a suit with cat-like attributes as she works as a mercenary and vigilante due to her having stolen from both ZeroTech and the Golden Grasp, becoming a villain to numerous groups just to help those she thinks truly cares for it.
- Jack Broderick/Spider (voiced by Jason Marnocha) - a semi-silent and deadly as well as ruthless and heartless assassin who works for ZeroTech, as he sports a high-tech suit which allows him to fight and move like a spider and grants him camouflage, as he betrayed his brother in a bloody confrontation and now is willing to eliminate any threats to ZeroTech, even his own brother who is now rogue.
- Vanessa Silverstein/Silverwing (voiced by Laura Bailey) - a former Air Force pilot who leads a group of former military soldiers in surviving the natural disasters which plagued the world, wearing a high-tech winged flight suit with bladed wings, becoming a Disaster Master in the battle for power, with her group having been invited to join the Golden Grasp, which she accepts, now leading the Golden Wings in combat against other factions, believing the Golden Grasp is the only way that the world could truly unite, being somewhat sadistic when it comes to her enemies.

Gameplay[]
The game plays as a hero shooter as you pick one of multiple heroes who has their own unique firearm and three special powers, a passive and a needing to be charged ultimate. Each game has different modes but a core of it is killing your enemy teammates. A major part of the game is natural disasters which each stage has their own natural disaster which makes it more difficult. The game also has mini missions where you pick a character and go through a group of missions tied to them, with the missions being reskinned versions of game modes like Extraction or Deathmatch but fit in a way to give each character a story.
Game Modes[]
- Extraction - one of the main modes of the game where two teams of five are dropped into one of the arenas and have to collect as much valuables as they can and drop them off in "Valuable Containers". If someone carrying valuables dies, the killer can grab it and make it worth even more.
- Deathmatch - one of the main modes of the game where two teams of five compete against each other to see who can rack up the most kills of the other team with it having a five-minute time limit.
- Escort - one of the main modes of the game where one team of five attempts to escort a payload through a map while the other tries to stop them from moving the payload as the match either ends when the time runs out or the first team brings the payload to its location.
- Point Control - one of the main modes of the game where two teams of five compete against each other to take control of three checkpoints.
- Horde Mode - one team of six work together to survive hordes of procedurally generated yet clearly increasing in difficulty AI enemies either until all six members die and lose all three respawns or until the time runs out.
Arenas[]
Launch[]
- Fort Gaius - one of the bases of the slowly falling apart organization of Gaia which is located on the top of snow-covered mountains as snowstorms are common throughout the stage, being capable of blinding and confusing Disaster Masters.
- The Farm - a giant farm developed by ZeroTech to help create artificial food thanks to the sudden rise of disasters as it is home to a few different missions and has giant tornadoes fly through the stage, causing Disaster Masters to have to battle in the air and inside tornadoes.
- Sunken Downtown - the downtown area of Miami which has become a dangerous home to floods which flash through and cause fights to happen underwater in occasion, with slower controls, with Miami holding several valuables that many organizations need.
- Factory 52 - one of several factories created by Gastro Solutions to help with food shortages as it produces food using new technology and is home to a bunch of earthquakes which can shatter the arena and cause debris to fall.
- Toast Coast - the city of Los Angeles which was ravaged by a volcano as it is now filled with rivers and lakes of lava and ravaged buildings, with falling lava bombs and rivers of lava as the main hazard. It is also the home to a Golden Grasp safehouse hidden in the destroyed coastal city.
