Watch Lambos Battle for Crypto in This 'War Riders' Gameplay Trailer

How players will battle for crypto in War Riders became a little clearer this morning.

In a gameplay trailer released exclusively to CoinDesk, Cartified, the company behind the game, teases how post-apocalyptic vehicles will duke it out for a crypto token called Benzene.

Souped-up Car Tanks and War Lambos have sold for anywhere from $450 to $2,200 each, payable in ETH. The game itself won't cost money to play.

CoinDesk last reported on War Riders when it was kicked out of Coinbase Wallet at the behest of Apple.

First of all, the economy of War Riders runs on BZN, which is an ERC-20 token.

Players need BZN to "Survive" the barren gamescape, so in the world of War Riders it's expected to be the same thing as money.

Interestingly, there are plans for BZN to be tradeable in the real world, just like other tokens, making the game a potential bellwether for crypto's gaming use-case.

The game will use an algorithm to determine how much new BZN is needed to keep the economy stable and it will randomly distribute caches around the game world.

A player won't be able to use it from a personal wallet until they get their cars back to their HQ. If they get a load of the stuff out in the field but other players catch them, they risk losing the loot.

Kartashov told CoinDesk that players will be in control of their vehicle, but there's also clearly some kind of armada element to the game.
