Common questions

I have 0 money, what now#

Withdraw your starting 100,000 $ from the bank — it is already in your account, and the terminal is in the trade zone next to the traders. After that money comes from loot, missions and selling: see First 10 minutes.

Where do I buy a weapon#

It depends on what is on the shelf: trader stock is configurable and changes over time, and some weapons and attachments are available from the weapons trader. Anything a trader does not stock is sold by players on the market.

I sold something on the market, where is the money#

The payout lands in your bank on its own when you open the market at a trader. If the bank is full, the rest comes as cash. You do not have to be online when the sale happens.

I died, is my gear gone?#

No. Everything stays on the corpse, cash included. The body lasts 30 minutes and a death marker shows on your map. A server restart does remove corpses though.

I was killed while spawning#

You are invisible and invulnerable while your character loads in. Spawns happen on the approaches to a town, not in its centre — if you were killed instantly, the protection had already dropped.

Why can I not log out#

You always can, but logging out in combat kills your character. The combat flag lasts 60 seconds after any shooting nearby. Wait for it to clear.

Where do I get C4#

At a workbench: 2 plastic explosive + phone + duct tape + 2 wires + circuit board. Plastic explosive drops only in military buildings and Military Cache crates — never in Construction Supplies. C4 cannot be bought; finished charges occasionally sit in the castle crate.

Why will C4 not attach to a safe#

By design. Safes are opened only with a grinder — 60 seconds of uninterrupted channelling.

How many charges for a wall#

Wood 3, concrete 6. Doors are cheaper: wooden 2, concrete 4.

I placed a flag but cannot build#

Check: you are inside the base radius, upkeep is paid, the flag is not stolen, and you are not in combat. Building only works in build mode — the Insert key.

Where did my garage vehicles go#

The garage unloads completely in two cases: upkeep expired or the flag was stolen. The vehicles appear on the map where you stored them.

Why can I not upgrade the flag#

Only the owner can. Other reasons: unpaid upkeep, a stolen flag, or the new radius overlapping another territory, the trade zone or a spawn zone.

I am in the clan but cannot build on my friend's base#

Clan and territory are separate lists. You must be invited to the territory separately through the "Territory" tab in the F2 menu.

Why can I not get into someone's vehicle#

It has a code lock. A crowbar removes it — 2 minutes of channelling, during which the vehicle blares its alarm.

Can I shoot in the trade zone#

No. Damage does not apply at all — not to you, not from you, including shooting from inside the zone outwards. Weapons are holstered automatically there.

When are the restarts#

On the server's schedule, usually every few hours. Warnings appear 30, 15, 10, 5 minutes and 1 minute before a restart — go by those rather than by the clock.

What is lost on restart#

World loot is placed again from scratch, corpses and dropped items disappear, quad bikes vanish. Everything of yours — inventory, money, base, garage, perks — is kept.

Loot does not respawn, is that a bug?#

No. Loot is placed once at server start and does not come back until the next restart. The richest time is right after a restart.

Where do I get wood#

Logs and planks come from an axe and a saw; they never appear as loot. Nails are the opposite — loot only: they turn up in houses, but far more often in Construction Supplies crates.

Is there night time#

Yes. The clock runs accelerated, so between restarts the server goes through both day and night — how dark and how long it gets depends on the map's settings.

Night vision goggles are sold by the clothing trader and they work: they fit a helmet slot, flip down with ' (apostrophe) and give the green night image. With them raised you see normally. Without a set, night leaves you a torch, a weapon light and illumination flares.

What does reputation give apart from perks#

Your respawn kit. The more reputation you have banked, the better the set you spawn with: from a shirt and a pistol up to fatigues with a rifle and a vest. The table is in Spawning.
