It’s a game based around starting a round that loads you into a map, completing X objectives on that map, and then leaving the map alive to make progress, all while being swarmed by enemies. It’s a bit rouge-like in that way.
You go on a map with A.I enemies and real people. The goal is to extract components that you want, guns, valubles. You lose everything you found on that run if you don’t extract. Other people try the same thing and steal your stuff.
It’s a Battle Royale with a mix of PvE and PvE (usually) where you can find places to “extract” and leave with the weapons and gear you found, allowing you to bring those in to future matches, at the risk of losing everything you brought if you are killed.
Basically a bunch of players are dropped into a game map, and normally your objective is to go around and collect as much loot as possible, then after some time or you’re ready to leave, you need to find the extraction point - this will save your loot and that run is over.
Some extraction shooters are PvE, and some are PvP, some are both. If you get killed with all your loot before you get to the extraction point you lose it all. It can be pretty stressful, and unbalanced if its PvP where some players play much more then you do therefore have better weapons etc
What is an extraction shooter? The article did not explain, which it really should have.

Seriously. Let’s say the words Extraction Shooter 12 times, and not bother with a quick mention of what the fuck an Extraction Shooter is. Brilliant!
