MISSION BRIEFING
The Siege of Nuketown
Nuketown has fallen under the control of a rogue Russian faction that has fortified the town and begun dominating the surrounding wasteland. Patrols roam the perimeter, resources are tightly controlled, and travelers are forced to submit to their rule. But the wasteland is beginning to push back.
​
A growing resistance led by the mysterious Master Blaster is recruiting smugglers, traders, and warriors willing to challenge the occupation and reclaim Nuketown. Your mission is to enter the region, complete strategic objectives across the wasteland, and shift the balance of power. You do so as a free agent seeking fame, fortune, food and water mixed with a little mayhem and destruction.
​
Your Objectives
​
The Occupation
You may align with the resistance and undermine Russian control by sabotaging key infrastructure, intercepting communications, and disrupting patrol routes. You could also choose to be a good soldier and report for guard duty and further the reign of The RUSSIAN FEDERATION OF THE AMERICAS. Ultimately you will choose!
​​
Gather Resources
Recover fuel, weapons, water, and intelligence that can strengthen the resistance network. You may also seize and capture the items and ensure that they are controlled by the Russians.
​
Form Alliances
Work with traders, civilians, and resistance operatives to build influence and uncover hidden opportunities. You may work with other players and form a crew and tackle a mor difficult mission or simply to ambush other players and loot them.
​
Complete Strategic Missions
Travel to checkpoints across the wasteland where challenges, puzzles, negotiations, and covert operations await. Use your off road vehicle or if you don’t have one then you can hire a SMUGGLER to help you complete the mission.
​​
Sign up for Critical RAIDS
In the APP you will be able to sign up for raids. These have big payouts for the winning group and risk for the losers so choose wisely.
​
Territory Control
During the event Territory will become available to control through the app and with NFC card activation. You gain points by having control but the player or crew with the most time will earn massive payout. Fight hard and control the territory.
​
Shift Control of Nuketown
Every mission impacts the balance of power. Your actions determine which factions control the town’s districts and resources.
​
The Final Outcome
As the event unfolds, the control of Nuketown will change in real time.
By the end of the expedition, one outcome will emerge:
• The Russians maintain their occupation
• Master Blaster’s resistance liberates the town
• Civilians seize control and form a free trade zone
• Chaos consumes Nuketown as rival factions clash
​
The fate of Nuketown will be decided by the teams willing to take the risk.
WASTELAND CAMOUFLAGE
VEHICLE DISGUISE
It is crucial that the SMUGGLERS have their vehicles disguised in order to get in and out of the Wastelands for the upcoming mission. Not having any type of disguise will most likely cause the SMUGGLERS to have to pay gold to bribe their way into the wastelands. Included are some spy shots of vehicles to use as a guide for your disguise. Teams can earn gold coins for having a vehicle disguised as a Wasteland rig and will have to pay to bribe their way through checkpoints if they do not look like they belong.
WASTELAND CAMOUFLAGE
PLAYER COSTUME
In order to get in and out of the Wastelands for the upcoming mission PLAYERS will need to be dressed as the Wastelanders. Not having any type of disguise will most likely cause the to have to pay gold to bribe their way into the wastelands and will cause more challenges at the outposts. Included are some spy shots to use as a guide for your disguise. The better the disguise the more gold is possible to be earned. Disguises can take ideas from mad max, cyberpunk, fall out, blade runner etc. You will earn more gold if you have a theme and a cool back story so get creative and have fun.
