Long ago, The Cobalt Initiative opened its doors to survivors seeking order in the chaos. Here, the world is mostly calm… until you step into the zones where science failed and PvP remains active. Wander the safe sectors, build freely, and prepare for what lurks beyond. Raidable Bases rise from old research sites, Defendable Bases crumble under zombie waves, and even your own home may one day be tested. Across the region, strange events unfold: monument outbreaks, roaming convoys, rogue trains, aerial anomalies, and deep-water disturbances. Survivors whisper of dungeons built from forgotten labs and quests issued by the last functioning systems. Your growth is tied to the Initiative’s Skill Tree, an RPG system designed to adapt you into whatever role you choose. Over time, your gear will evolve through Epic Loot, enchanting, and perks—until you wield power only the top researchers ever dreamed of. Vehicles recovered from abandoned depots can be bought, stored, and upgraded. Helis and Bradleys can be summoned for those willing to test their strength. The economy thrives as survivors trade, sell, and shape the market themselves. Furnaces, recyclers, and quarries have been re-engineered by Cobalt scientists. Waystone teleporters hum with energy. Backpacks and kits are issued to keep you moving. The Initiative welcomes all explorers, fighters, builders, and mad scientists. Grow stronger, uncover secrets, and carve your path. Welcome to a world where you don’t just survive—you ascend.
