To survive
A hardcore survival sandbox experience with realistic weapon mechanics, advanced survival systems, and hostile NPCs. With multiple diseases, tactical weapons, permadeath elements, and extensive character simulation.

Looting
Loot, store, and craft hundreds of unique items based on real-world settings and progressive loot levels. Find weapons, tools, consumables, medical items, military equipment, electronics, clothing and much more.

Trade
Trade, buy or sell items to specialist in-game merchants using the intuitive reject/accept value system. Traders can also be used for services such as medical supplies or weapon maintenance.

events
The dynamic game world includes random game events such as crash sites, airdrops, ambushes, and special trade quest events. There are also environmental weather events such as rain and thunderstorms.

cards
The playable game world consists of individual maps, which are unique areas and are based on actual locations. These maps are linked and each map has a difficulty rating relative to the NPC’s AI. The main idea is that when you travel east and towards Vostok the game will get harder but the loot will improve

shelters
Shelters are safe areas and places to store loot. Shelters differ in size and customization. Hideouts are always available to players, and most of them are also easy to find. Shelters are the only way to save the game.

Border area
The game world is divided by Border Zone and a physical boundary. The border can be crossed using waypoints that take you to Vostok. Each of these waypoints has a unique game mechanic and certain risks associated with it.

Vostok
Vostok is a dangerous and mysterious area. The moment you cross the border via a border checkpoint and enter Vostok, you are inside the permanent death zone. If you die in Vostok, you will lose everything, including your protection items and your safe files.
