PLAYING BEHIND A FIREWALL OR ROUTER
This game uses the following network ports for playing online. If you are running a firewall, ensure it is set to
allow the game to communicate on these ports both inbound and outbound:
TCP Ports: 80, 443, 8675-8676
UDP Ports: 3659, 6000
If you are having difficulty connecting to other players online and your Internet connection is behind a router
using NAT (Network Address Translation), you may need to enable port forwarding on your router by forwarding
all data on ports UDP 3659 and UDP 6000 to the IP address of your PlayStation
®
3 system. Alternatively, you can
add the IP address of your PlayStation
®
3 system into the DMZ section of your router—please consult your router
help files for details on how to do this. For more information on firewalls, port forwarding, and DMZs, please visit
our online Support Center at: http://support.ea.com.

GAME SCREEN
ANARCHY
Bulletstorm’s online cooperative multiplayer mode is called Anarchy. Anarchy is all about killing waves of
enemies in cool ways, while working as a team with your friends. Utilize both individual and team Skillshots to
gain enough Skillpoints to progress to the next wave.
There are tons of ways to kill enemies, and almost every one of them is a Skillshot. Certain enemies award extra
points if you perform a certain Team Skillshot on them. Up to four players can partake of the carnage, and you
are always rewarded more for working together to take down your foes than working alone.
The points you earn in each round are based on the difficulty of the Skillshots you and your teammates perform.
In addition to enabling you to progress to the next wave by hitting the point goal, Skillpoints can also be used
between rounds to upgrade your character or weapons and replenish your charged shot and secondary weapon
ammo before going back into the fray. Anarchy lasts for up to 20 rounds, but the real question is whether or not
you’ve got the chops to get the highest score.
