HOW TO SURVIVE

Outbreak Island · published 18 Dec 2023, 07:13 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

⚡The first thing we need to know before heading to the Island is that there is Life on it!


In addition to potential encounters with armed units of local military forces that have taken control of half of the Island, we will face inexplicable phenomena in the form of terrifying monsters that appear literally out of nowhere.

This is facilitated by the presence of a secret laboratory hidden deep in the crater of an extinct volcano.


Every night, the Emerald Ray illuminates the stormy sky with an emerald flash.
The nature of this phenomenon has not been fully studied, but we know for sure - at this time, flashes of emerald color randomly occur across the island and creepy monsters appear in their place. More detailed information will be provided on site upon arrival. We recommend that you find a safe and comfortable place until you receive the following instructions.

One of the properties of the Emerald Ray is to activate electricity on the island. Use this privilege wisely. Harvest fuel for transport and generators, utilizing heavy machinery for processing resources.

But remember! On a random night, instead of the Emerald Ray, the Amber Ray appears and it is very dangerous! Stock up on ammunition and stay at home.


We don’t advise anyone to go out on a night like this.


It was nicknamed the Amber Portal by the first Survivors, whose hidden treasures are legendary!
But not everyone is destined to find them.. At this dangerous time, monsters with redoubled force attack the world of the Island from flash portals. And according to the latest data from our investigation team, the amount of valuable loot is also increasing.
But be extremely careful! If you come too close to the Amber Portal (of course, if you are still alive, because the monsters from there are much more powerful than those from the Emerald Flashes), you will immediately be teleported to the harsh winter expanses of Amber Peak Mountain.
And from there, few people returned intact.


When a beam of super-powerful electromagnetic energy bursts forth from the depths of the Emerald and Amber Peaks, it attracts all air and water transport to the Epicenter of the Outburst, resulting in many interesting places to explore both on the island and underwater nearby.

Have you ever dived to the bottom of a frozen mountain lake in search of high-level loot among the underwater graveyard of military helicopters?

AND FIFTH!
Use your observational skills to search for caches, secret locations, missing ships, military bunkers, and the island's Main Mystery!
Collect a map, navigate by the marks, and if you get lost in the forest wilderness, the hunting towers will serve as a guide for you.
After all, no matter what difficulties await us on Outbreak Island, we will definitely cope!⚡
