APB Reloaded is free-to-play 3D MMOFPS with team-focused third-person shooter gameplay. The game is developed by Realtime Worlds and published by the same company. The game is currently in open beta (started on 23.5.2011).

When player first starts the game he/she will be able to create character. First players need to choose factions Enforcers ("police") and the Criminals ("well... criminals") after that players can choose server to EU or NA. And finally you can customize your character, there is a lot, I mean A LOT! of ways to customize the character all from skin color to how muscular your character wil be.

The quests will vary depending on what faction you did choose. Missions (usually accomplished in groups) allows the player to earn some extra money, which can then be used to upgrade weapons, vehicles, and their character appearances, all of which influence the game. For example, several Criminal players may rob a convenience store within the game; the game will then seek out one or more Enforcer players of equivalent skills and other criteria and will issue an all-points bulletin for them to stop the robbery and apprehend or eliminate the Criminals.

Weapons cannot be bought straight away from NPC contacts. The player must achieve different goals to unlock the purchase of weapons, varying from completing a certain number of missions successfully, to achieving a high enough standing with a contact or organization. Contacts sell upgrades, equipment, weapons, vehicles and clothing. Ammunition can be bought from Joker Ammo vending machines, scattered around the 3 districts 1.Social District 2.Financial District 3.Water Front District. Players cannot normally attack each other unless they are enemies or allies in a mission. This prevents death matching and griefing (irritates and harasses other players).

Depending on faction, players will have either a Prestige or Notoriety level, going from 0 to 5. This level goes up as the player successfully performs actions that help their faction's cause, such as killing players of the opposing faction, completing missions successfully, or by engaging in activities unique to their faction. Such unique faction actions include mugging pedestrians for Criminals, or arresting Criminals for Enforcers. The level decreases as the player hinders their faction; for instance, team-killing, dying, and destroying city objects as Enforcers. At level 0, a player is free to do as they please, and will not have enemy players dispatched against them. At level 1, the player receives slightly greater rewards from missions, and enemy players will be dispatched against them if they witness them performing certain actions. At level 2, the rewards are increased even more, and enemy players may be dispatched against their missions. At level 3, enemy players may be sent against the player regardless of actions, and rewards are increased further. At level 4, the player will receive increased rewards, enemy players will still be dispatched against them. At level 5, the player has a bounty put on their head, which allows them to interact with any player on the server. They can be killed by any Criminal or Enforcer, but a bounty player can kill anyone on the server. All rewards are greatly increased for a person with a bounty for being able to achieve goals while under extreme pressure. When someone kills a player with a bounty, unless they are an Enforcer killing a fellow Enforcer, the killer receives a large money and standing reward for being able to kill such a high-threat player. A bounty can be removed by death, or by reducing Prestige/Notoriety enough to reduce the level to 4.

The game also has an ingame music player that includes 162 tracks, some from well known artists. Players can even import on music to the player and create folders, playlists etc.

There are also Clan's in APB these are player-made groups of players that share a common chat channel and often play together. In APB, you can carry 3 weapon types at once. To change any of these weapons, you must visit an ammunition terminal (Joker ammo vending machine, contacts, field supply, mobile supply and enter your inventory 'I') 1.Primary Weapon 2.Secondary Weapon 3.Grenades.
