Read the risk.
Choose your approach.
Choose a zone and a focus to explore the intended threats, supplies and rewards. These are planning briefings for the world concept.

01 / LOW THREATGreen zoneILLUSTRATED BRIEFING / PLANNED GAMEPLAY
THE EXTRACTOR’S APPROACH
Find your footing.
The intended lower-risk PvE foothold. Learn the routes, search for everyday supplies and prepare for the territory beyond. Lower risk does not mean an absence of infected.
- Prepare
- Food, water, basic medical supplies and a route back.
- Recover
- Common equipment, food, water and basic crafting materials.
YOUR APPROACH / Scavenging
Look for useful resources and valuable equipment, then protect the return journey. A loaded pack is a reason to reassess the next building.

02 / MODERATE THREATYellow zoneILLUSTRATED BRIEFING / PLANNED GAMEPLAY
THE EXTRACTOR’S APPROACH
Trust has a price.
Contested supply runs with stronger pressure from the living and the infected. PvP is part of the intended concept; final engagement conditions will be set in the rules.
- Prepare
- Medical reserves, ammunition and an extraction plan.
- Recover
- Better weapons, medicine, vehicle parts and valuable materials.

THE EXTRACTOR’S APPROACH
Go beyond the familiar.
Higher-value locations and the onset of serious contamination. Stronger infected, difficult approaches and exposure make a well-equipped return more important than a fast entry.
- Prepare
- Protective gear, radiation treatment and reliable supplies.
- Recover
- Rare weapon components, advanced armor and high-value parts.

04 / EXTREME THREATRed zoneILLUSTRATED BRIEFING / PLANNED GAMEPLAY
THE EXTRACTOR’S APPROACH
Nothing comes easy.
Extreme contamination and boss-level threats mark the deepest risk. Local containment progress can open an approach without removing radiation or the dangers that survived it.
- Prepare
- Specialist protection, a coordinated plan and a way out.
- Recover
- Experimental equipment, rare components and mutant research materials.

Explore supplies & crafting ↗01 / LEAVE WITH A WAY BACKFinding it
Finding it
is only half the run.
A pocket full of rare parts is still a risk. The intended loop rewards preparation and a successful return, not just the distance you travel.
- 01
Prepare
Plan a route and a way back. Bring food, water, medical supplies and equipment suited to the territory. Protective gear matters as contamination rises.
- 02
Reach the coast
In the story, smugglers know a sea route past the sealed land approaches. Coastal arrival leads into a staging area for loadout checks, briefings and regrouping.
- 03
Enter the quarantine
Search for supplies or pursue an operation. Choose the territory for your equipment and experience, then watch for infected, environmental hazards and other expeditions.
- 04
Choose your limit
A rare find changes the stakes. Supplies run down, exposure builds and the return journey still lies ahead. Going deeper is a decision, not an obligation.
- 05
Extract
Reach the designated extraction route with what you can carry. Expedition loot remains at risk until it is secured; dying on the way can cost what you found.
- 06
Recover & return
Use or trade secured resources, restore your loadout and prepare again. Eligible cross-server transfers are planned through the approved extraction bridge; item eligibility and timing await confirmation.
THE DECISION THAT FOLLOWS EVERY RARE FIND
One more building.
Or a way home.
02 / WHAT THE WORLD LEAVES BEHINDNothing here
Nothing here
is just scrap.
Resources are planned across different activities. Choose how you survive, then turn what you recover into a reason to return.
Buildings & bins
Food, tools, medicine, cloth, plastics and useful components.
Infected
Tissue, blood and mutant samples for research trade or crafting.
Wilderness
Hunting materials and raw food to prepare before the next run.
INTENDED WEAPON PROGRESSIONGreen / Yellow Orange Red
Common
Ordinary loot and basic crafting.
Rare
Advanced weapons and components in higher-risk territory.
Experimental
Specialized, high-tier finds tied to the greatest exposure.
ABANDONED VEHICLES / PLANNED SYSTEMA wreck can become
A wreck can become
a way through.
Broken vehicles are intended to be objectives worth preparing for. The required parts depend on what you find.
- Discover & claimFind a vehicle worth restoring.
- InspectIdentify the parts it needs.
- Scavenge & repairRecover components and restore it.
- Fuel & departPrepare it for a deeper expedition.
03 / THE THREAT YOU CARRY WITH YOUStay supplied.
Stay supplied.
Watch the exposure.
Ammunition is only part of the loadout. Hunger, dirty water and accumulated radiation make preparation a survival system of its own.
Keep something
in reserve.
Loot rations and ingredients, or hunt for raw meat. Cooking at appropriate stations is part of the intended food loop. Leave enough for the way back.
Clear does not
mean clean.
Natural water sources are not automatically safe. The concept pairs collected dirty water with purification tablets before drinking or storage.
- Collect
- Purify
- Store / drink
RADIATION / EXPOSURE STAGESThe danger
The danger
builds over time.
Orange and Red territory introduce escalating contamination. Protective suits, medicine and decontamination are intended countermeasures; they do not make every route safe.
Exact thresholds, protection values and recovery rules are not announced. Neutralizing a containment device does not clear all residual radiation.
- 01Low exposure
- 02Early health effects
- 03Serious exposure
- 04Extreme exposure

04 / FIELD INTELLIGENCEThe infection
The infection
kept evolving.
Threat classes from the world concept. Individual identities, encounter mechanics and weaknesses are left for discovery.
THE EVERYDAY THREAT
Common infected
The baseline danger of a supply run. Even an ordinary encounter can consume the time, ammunition and space you needed for the return journey.
ADAPTATION UNDER PRESSURE
Mutated infected
The infection did not stop changing. Stronger or behaviorally different strains turn familiar territory into a new problem for prepared teams.
RARE / HIGH THREAT
Elite infected
Uncommon threats associated with important locations and valuable resources. Their presence should change the decision to advance, regroup or withdraw.
EXTREME / IDENTITY UNKNOWN
Boss mutants
Major planned encounters in contaminated sectors and special operations. Paleto’s initial scope includes a boss; its identity, abilities and weaknesses remain undisclosed.
05 / CONTRACTS & CONSEQUENCESAn operation
An operation
leaves the world changed.
RDC operations are intended to drive access and story progression. Extractors and Survivors can follow the opportunities that open without pursuing every military objective.
01Reconnaissance
+
Read the ground.
Survey a route, checkpoint or facility to uncover intelligence and possible approaches.
02Containment
+
Change the conditions.
Secure and neutralize a designated device or related system. A local hazard can recede while residual radiation remains.
03Recovery
+
Bring back the evidence.
Retrieve research data, biological samples, medicine or equipment from the exclusion zone.
04Extraction
+
Finish the journey.
Move recovered goods to a valid extraction point. Reaching the objective is only part of the operation.
05Boss operations
+
Know what you’re risking.
Face or survive a major mutant encounter tied to a location, a research clue or a progression milestone.
Operation types are a design overview, not a live mission board. A future RDC bunker is planned as a briefing and research hub rather than an initial-release requirement.
Explore the planned regions ↗Know what’s at stake.
Do I have to play on Reyes City?
Blackout can be experienced independently. Reyes City is an optional connection to the wider roleplay and economy world. Final connection procedures will be published separately.
Is loot safe as soon as I pick it up?
No. In the intended expedition loop, carried loot remains at risk until a successful extraction. Death can mean losing what you found.
When does extracted loot transfer to Reyes City?
The approved bridge is planned for eligible items. Exact transfer timing, extraction locations and eligibility are not confirmed. Do not assume instant delivery or a fixed waiting period.
Are all four zones and every region open?
No live availability is announced here. The regional plan starts with Paleto and the military perimeter, including low-risk staging, contested areas, Red territory and a major mutant encounter. Sandy and the NARCO FALL main City are future regions.
Does a completed containment mission make a Red zone safe?
No. Reducing an active local hazard can open an approach while residual radiation, contaminated ground, unstable structures and infected threats remain.
Where can I check combat and safe-zone rules?
Read the categorized field manual. It includes draft safe-zone, combat and extraction guidance. Final engagement conditions and enforcement procedures still require confirmation.
