Raids above, workshop below
You start in Speranza, the underground society where raiders live between runs. Between trips you tend your kit in your own workshop space, then climb out to pick over a ruined world where green growth is coming back through the wrecks.
That rhythm of risky trips out and safe time back home gives each run a clear purpose: find something worth bringing back.
Machines with weak spots
Topside you face ARC, from drone swarms up to huge machines. Each one has its own strengths and weak spots, so you learn what each type does well and where it is vulnerable.
Fighting ARC machines is fun, and the gunplay feels good. You aim for the weak spot you found while a big machine forces you to keep thinking on your feet.
Loot turned into better gear
Scavenging and looting are enjoyable on their own. You sift through ruins for useful finds, then decide what to do with them: sell loot for coins, or craft it into new gear.
Blueprints unlock more advanced items to craft, so salvaged parts turn into new weapons and equipment. It suits builders who like turning a full backpack into something better for the next trip.
Get out with what you carried
You head out to extract with your loot, knowing that dying loses the loot and gear you carried. Extracting with loot is tense, and that pressure makes small choices matter.
Friendly encounters with other players happen along the way. You might pass by in peace, or fight machines near each other. Other players often shoot you on sight. The gameplay loop is addictive.
What should you know before playing?
How does a run work?
You leave Speranza, scavenge the machine-ruled surface, then extract. Loot can be sold for coins or crafted into new gear, and gear is repaired and upgraded in your own workshop before the next trip.
What do you fight on the surface?
ARC machines, from drone swarms to giant mechanical machines. Each has its own strengths and weak spots, so fights reward watching their tactics and aiming where it hurts.
Can you play it more cooperatively?
You can go solo or form groups of up to three, and friendly encounters with other players happen.
How do crafting and skills grow?
Blueprints unlock more advanced items to craft, and augments unlock inventory slots and gameplay perks. Skills split across Survival, Mobility and Conditioning, and the arsenal spans SMGs and shotguns up to railguns and energy weapons.
