Uncharted 4's multiplayer beta is currently available to owners of Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, and it's a pretty good indicator of what's changing in the upcoming game's competitive component. Loadouts offer a few new points of customization, namely the super-powered "Mystics" that players can summon to harm foes and boost their allies, as well as AI-controlled "Sidekicks" that will automatically attack foes or keep their partners alive in a tense firefight. Also, you have a grappling hook, which you can use to swing into battle or, more likely, to turn yourself into a juicy piñata for the opposing team.
You can watch us play a few matches and fiddle around with loadouts in Uncharted 4's multiplayer beta in the video above.
