First-person gun simulator action game Receiver 2 gets a proper practice area

Love a good shooter? What about one where there's a lot of simulation going on with the weapons directly? Receiver 2 gives you quite a bit to learn and now you can actually get some practice in.

The key point about Receiver 2 is that it simulates every internal part of each firearm based on manufacturer schematics and gunsmithing resources. This means you can actually learn exactly how each sidearm works, including how to load and unload them, clear malfunctions, and operate their safety features. Educational? Perhaps but it's also an action game about taking down drones and collecting tapes.

It gets quite difficult too but thankfully Wolfire Games were aware of this and so they've put out a major post-release update named The Compound. Here you get to practice your aim in the "fully fleshed out shooting range, test your firearm skills in the challenge dome, or maybe try exploring the compound to find some of its many secrets!".
