The D-173 Practice Range is the space every player enters before their first match — making its design critical for onboarding and first impressions. It needed to function as both a functional training tool and a convincing world space that establishes the visual and narrative tone of Breakwater.
The facility includes a full shooting range with adjustable target distances, an open warmup area for movement and ability practice, a locker room and staging area, and a dedicated tutorial wing for the game's onboarding flow. Every space was designed with clear wayfinding so new players could navigate without instruction while still feeling immersed in the world.
