This - "Deadside", which can be translated as "dead side", MMO-shooter in the setting of the post-apocalypse. Play in the first person, when you need to fight and complete missions along the way.
The Truth About The Dead Side
In fact, the game "Deadside" is a kind of mix of survival, sandbox and adventure game. No mutants, robots, swords and magic, but - with all the horrors of a destroyed civilization. The heroes will have to face bandits and gangs of cannibals controlled by AI, which, of course, do not go unarmed. The world, where it is necessary to survive, found itself on the verge of a global war due to the crisis, the situation was aggravated by military provocations. As a result, all the military and security forces grouped closer to different corporations, the state actually disintegrated. High mortality, pogroms, murders, infections, hunger - all the signs of the apocalypse are evident. Those who were lucky to survive left to wander away from the cities, the country was swept by gangs - from neo-Nazis to cannibals and sectarians. It is not easy to survive in such conditions, in "Deadside" only good equipment, good-quality weapons and a set of ammunition will help.
Features of the game "Deadside"
Alas, the game has to "break in" not equipped, but with a knife, pants and a lighter. Therefore, we urgently need to find loot, so as not to die in the near future at the hands of a crowd of those who wish. It is recommended to move to the nearest settlement, the map will show the road. By the way, the loot is highlighted on the screen, which saves a lot of time looking for it. Immediately you need to look for a jacket, vest and bag, they give additional cells in the inventory.
Then there are 2 options. Either scour for loots and further to pack better, or move to the save zone. But in the first and second cases, there is a risk of running into adversaries, so caution never hurts. There are 2 save zones - in the north and in the south, where you need to buy weapons and equipment or medicines, food and tools from merchants. You can shoot there, but no damage.
Promotion and trading
In the game it is possible to meet not only bandits and cannibals, but also other players who are also looking for adventures on their own. So there is always someone with whom to stock up on cartridges, food, discuss events. And there are also green areas where the personal cells of the participants are located, where important and useful things are stored. Therefore, these territories are considered a place of communication and sale and purchase, by the way, it is permissible to trade with other players.
In the inventory there are 2 slots for weapons, 4 for a flashlight and a lighter, and 2 more for cartridges, medicines and food. It is not difficult to increase the number of slots if you get hold of a jacket, bag or backpack. In your search, it is important to keep in mind that backpacks of different sizes also give a different number of slots.
A bandage and rags are provided for the heal - regular and alcoholized, the latter is crafted from honey, vodka, moonshine or alcohol.
Deadside Weapons & Defense
Rifles, snipers, pistols and shotguns work well in the dead side, each type needs its own cartridges. It is more convenient for a beginner to use a shotgun, it hits at medium and close range. A rifle should be supplemented with a pistol, well, and then choose for yourself which weapon is better. A total of 19 types are offered, plus additional equipment from scopes, flashlights and other valuable trifles.
As for the enemies, they control the main roads, cities and landmarks. A valuable find for the player will be a walkie-talkie, with it you can quickly and easily find out when opponents are nearby. By the way, according to the terms of the game, enemies are revived every 5-15 minutes, which is also worth remembering.
Now about crafting
A nice plus of the game is that you don't need to look for any blueprints, everything that can be created is already displayed in the inventory on the "craft" tab. Basically, these are modules for building a base: an ax, a saw, a hammer. You can buy items in the save zone. How to work with them? Very simple. Insert the same ax into the weapon slot and hit the tree. Not in the save zone! Logs will begin to appear immediately, then the ax is changed to a saw and the logs are divided into boards, then beams, plywood and walls are assembled.
And here's another important point. The place for the base is chosen 500 or more meters from the nearest settlement, at this place you need to put a flag, and only then you can build. True, all players have access to the storage, and it also needs to be crafted, but only the owner can open the doors and gates. Well, and his squad, if any. By the way, you can create a squad too, just invite other players. Or join the company yourself, then allies will be visible on the map during the game.
