'''''Combat''''' and '''''Speed Challenges''''' can also be played via the '''[[Story (Cobalt)|story]]''' with any equipment the player has, they are unlocked as a reward for completing chapters and beating them grants the player [[volts]] and unlocks arcade [[classes]]. Challenges in Story have a seperate [[leaderboard]] to those in ''Arcade''.

==== '''Deathmatch''' ====
''[[Deathmatch]]'' is a classic PvP gamemode, where the player with most kills wins. Players can fight in teams or free-for-all as pickups spawn all over one of the X available maps in the base game.

==== '''Plug-Slam''' ====
''[[Plug-Slam]]'' is a ball sport inspired team PvP gamemode that has players score into opponent goal line with a ball plug without getting killed, where the team with most points when the time runs out wins. Players may use pickups that spawn on the map to their advantage. There are X Plug-Slam maps in the base game.

==== '''Team-Strike''' ====
''[[Team-Strike]]'' is a team PvP class-based gamemode where 2 or more teams fight to the death in rounds until there's only one left. Between rounds players can repair, upgrade or buy one out of up to 6 classes, that can be upgraded from level 1 through 3. The team that wins the most rounds wins. Upon reaching half-time, teams switch sides on the map and have their volts reset. The base game includes X Team-Strike maps to choose from.

==== '''Survival''' ====
''[[Survival]]'', sometimes referred to as Waves Survival (as it been called in alpha), is a cooperative wave-based PvE gamemode, where players fight of increasingly tough waves of enemies and buy, upgrade and restock on their gear in-between. There may be special events at the beginning of waves, such as raid callers - enemies that if not killed call an air raid, and Bopo protection - a friendly NPC that if defended until the end of the attack will drop loot crates. There are X Survival maps in Cobalt.

=== Extra Gamemodes (PC Steam release exclusive) ===
In addition to the 5 standard Arcade gamemodes, there are 4 extra gamemodes that are accessible via the full game's editor and Steam User Maps (upon downloading them from the Steam Workshop prior). In multiplayer they are tagged as the most similar gamemode.

The 4 extra gamemodes are: '''[[Capture the Plug]], [[Scorematch]],''' '''[[Custom Survival]] and''' '''[[Bounty]].'''

Story (Cobalt)

2025-09-29T15:09:17Z

Eraan: deleted some links and changed formatting

Story, also referred to as story-mode or campaign and adventure during development, is a persistent campaign game type in Cobalt that has the player take over the titular character to go on an expedition to the human colony on planet Trunkopia to investigate a distress call.

<blockquote>"Start of transmission
This is an emergency call from Trunkopia Coloy. Our communication channels are down. And so is our spell checker. Requesting immidiate assistance. Do not land anywhere other thatn at The Nexus. We need support urge.....
End of transmission" - The Distress Call</blockquote>The story unfolds over the course of 7 linear chapters: [[First Contact|''First Contact'']], ''[[The Trappers]]'', ''[[Deathshrooms]]'', ''[[Trunkopolis Enclave]]'', ''[[Rocket City]]'', ''[[Arctic Vault]]'' and ''[[E.T.A.C.]]'', which offer optional detours in the form of challenges, that provide special arcade class unlocks and volts on completion, which the player can later use at shops to buy new weapons and equipment. The game allows up to 3 story saves to be created.

== Gameplay ==
Story gameplay differs vastly from all other gamemodes. The player starts in a ship, that acts as a lobby from which select where to travel via the story terminal, that displays a map of interconnected nodes that represent chapters, shops and challenges. Chapters don't function as individual stages, instead they consist of a 'world', that connects multiple stages into a seamless whole. Players can change stages by going to the current stage's border or through a door if either is connected to a different level. Each chapter (besides final chapter VII) unlocks the next chapter, a new shop and challenges, that can be approached with any items the player collected on that save.

==== Checkpoints ====
The player will encounter checkpoint stations that activate upon contact, saving progress and providing a new spawnpoint.

Upon death so long as the player has [[emergency cells]], they will respawn at the checkpoint station.

=== Chapters ===
Chapters work based on a "world", which connects multiple maps into a seamless whole. Upon completion, their icon in the story terminal changes as they lock, though they can be played again when restarted.

If you want to learn more, read on or navigate to other pages for detailed information on the game's content.

== Gameplay ==
''Cobalt'' can be played with a keyboard or controller (or WASD controls using an [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1289100686 official mod]).

** '''[[Speed Challenge]]''' - the goal is quickly reaching the finish line.
** '''[[Puzzle Challenge]]''' (Story and user maps exclusive) - the goal is finding an item.

* '''[[Plug-Slam]]''' - multiplayer competitive team gamemode where the team that scores the most in time wins. To score players need to get a ball plug over opponent goal line.
* '''[[Team-Strike]]''' - multiplayer competitive team gamemode where the team with most rounds won wins. Rounds are won by the team that has more players standing by the end or when all opponents have been eliminated. Between rounds players can repair, upgrade or change their classes.
* '''[[Survival]]''' - also known as Waves Survival, it is a multiplayer cooperative PvE gamemode that is beaten by surviving all of the waves. Between the waves players can buy and upgrade their armor and weapons and restock on ammo.

== Plot Synopsis ==
Agent Cobalt is a metalface sent by Borealis to investigate the mysterious disappearance of the human colony ''Trunkopolis'' on a planet known as Trunkopia.

== Development History ==
In 2001,<ref>https://youtu.be/idEyxi9vbWU?t=15<nowiki/>Daniel corrects Pontus and states the prototype was worked on nine years prior; given that the video was uploaded in 2010, that would mean 2001.</ref> [[Daniel "thewreck" Brynolf]] had developed a platformer prototype called ''Blueface.'' Following the release of ''[[Harvest: Massive Encounter]]'' in 2008, Oxeye wanted to develop another, more in-depth game. Unable to come up with ideas, it was decided that ''Blueface'' had a sufficiently solid foundation to become a "better game". Beginning in August of 2009,<ref>https://youtu.be/voAlBvWody0?t=186</ref> work began on ''Project B''. Initially, it looked rather similar to ''Blueface''.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzhkHzdkhAI</ref>

On 8 October 2010, ''Project B'' was officially renamed to ''Cobalt''<ref>http://www.oxeyegames.com/announcing-cobalt/</ref>

* '''[[Plug-Slam]]''' - multiplayer competitive team gamemode where the team that scores the most in time wins. To score players need to get a ball plug over opponent goal line.
* '''[[Team-Strike]]''' - multiplayer competitive team gamemode where the team with most rounds won wins. Rounds are won by the team that has more players standing by the end or when all opponents have been eliminated. Between rounds players can repair, upgrade or change their classes.

Cobalt

2025-09-27T21:01:43Z

Eraan: /* Gameplay */ added and edited additional information on the gameplay

Actors (Cobalt)

2024-12-23T00:58:14Z

Eraan: Created page, mentioned player character as well as Metaldroids and Protobots

Actors are Cobalt's character entities, that can be controlled by the player, AI or just serve as background setpieces or tiles and are an important part of Cobalt's gameplay.

Metalface is the default player actor and along with Metaldroids and Protobots has the most movement abilities and usable functional equipment types out of all other actors.

Weapons (Cobalt)

2024-12-21T18:24:47Z

Eraan: Wrote an overview, added sections for Melee, Ranged and Thrown weapons. (also changed "arsenal" to "selection" in my edit since weapons is already mentioned)

'''[[Cobalt]]''' offers a wide selection of weapon items that can aid in combat by dealing damage, restoring health or unique abilities and properties, which despite the name often gives them non-combat applications. Weapons come in three different types: Melee, Ranged and Thrown (often called Throwables), each having unique functionality and corresponding to a unique inventory slot.

== Melee ==
''Melee weapons'' are short ranged and their damage scales with speed. Most of them also have limited durability that wears off by dealing damage and causes them to break upon reaching 0%. Special melee weapons, which are the exception to that rule, are those that have unique abilities or functionality that makes them stand out from other melee weapons.

Players (and most actors) have one (1) single melee slot in their inventory. Melee weapons can also be thrown out by pressing and holding the melee slot key.

== Ranged ==
''Ranged weapons'' are projectile-based and use ammo, which they need to be reloaded with (apart from the Hack Device, one notable exception to these three (3) rules), consuming it from the players inventory. Salvaged ranged weapons however do not need an external ammo supply as they don't consume it, having technically infinite ammo until their durability gets low or runs out.

Players have three (3) ranged weapons slots and one (1) bonus fourth slot for a salvaged weapon, amounting to a total of four (4) ranged weapons that can be carried at once.

== Thrown ==
''Thrown weapons'' are physical objects, meaning they are affected by gravity, their speed is affected by thrower momentum, they collide with other objects and can be destroyed with heat and explosions.

Players have three (3) throwable slots, each holding a practically infinite amount of a single item.
