Your character

Roles, skills and every way your survivor gets stronger.

View all
Progression Every way your character gets stronger - skill levels, ranks, paths and abilities, prestige, ZLevels, weapon proficiency, cooking and fishing, enemy mastery - and what each one keeps at a wipe. Roles The six roles - Scientist, Test Subject, Citizen, Soldier, Emergency Responder and Vagabond - what each one gives you, its own skill tree, how to pick, and why the choice lasts the whole wipe.

The Blight

The corruption, the creatures it breeds and the bosses behind it.

View all
The Blight What the Blight is today - the hourly Blights, the creatures that hunt you, the mini bosses and arena bosses, Blight Fragments, the Virulent skill path and enemy mastery. Blight Events The hourly Blight - where it forms, siphoning the concentration, the waves, fragments as you kill, and the payout at the end with its bonus for kills and siphoning. Bestiary Every creature that hunts you on Blight Light - health, weapon, speed, what hurts it, its abilities and phases, where you meet it and how to beat it. Bosses & the Arena The boss arena - buying a fight with Blight Fragments at /buyboss, the five Blight bosses and their prices, team rules, what happens in the ring - and the mini bosses and hunters that come to you.

Events

Events you call in, world events, night zombies and minigames.

View all
Heli Events Buy a heli signal with Chimera Coins, call an attack helicopter to your position, and earn CC and skill XP for every one you shoot down. Dungeons Pay Duct Tape to open a portal to a private maze full of guards, bosses, turrets and animals, then clear it for loot, CC and skill XP. Raidable Bases Buy a private, fully built enemy base with Chimera Coins, break through its turrets and code locks, and take everything inside. RaidMe (Base Defense) Pay Scrap to have waves of rocket-and-C4 raiders attack your own base, then defend your tool cupboard until the last wave falls. World Events Every timed world event on Blight Light (Sputnik, the Arc Drone, the Armored Train, the Pirate Ship, the Armored Convoy and random server contests) with timers, defences, loot and tips. Night Zombies Zombie waves at night - when they come and for whom, how your gear picks their tier, the five zombie classes, how they hunt you, what each kill pays, and how to stay safe. Minigames Honey Drop, a last-player-standing tower of breaking tiles high in the sky. Join with /honey, play without risking your gear, and win coins and skill XP.

Exploration

Custom monuments, puzzles, keycards and hidden places.

Exploration The custom map (Alcatraz, the Nuclear Submarine, the Reinforced Oil Rig and more), the monument crews that pay Chimera Coins per kill, keycard routes to the red card, all 21 custom build sites, and getting around with teleports and jetpacks.

Gear & loot

Legendary weapons, gear sets and where the good loot drops.

View all
Legendary Weapons All 24 legendary weapons on Blight Light, what each power does, where each one drops, and the named perk legendaries you find while gathering and fighting. Gear Sets Blight Light's 16 gear sets, from Miners to Skyguard - what every piece gives, what a full set adds up to, the armour that shrugs off Bradley and helicopter fire, and where each set drops. Loot & Drops How Blight Light's loot works - the ladder from everyday loot to legendaries, where every kind of special gear drops, luck, the coins in military crates, and how to recycle, trade or sell what you find. Gear Luck Luck raises every chance at gear - the Luck path in the skill tree, the everyday sets in crates and barrels, gear from bosses, places and drops - and /luck shows the real rates.
