2. What is the core gameplay of Once Human: RaidZone?
Key Gameplay: Survival, Construction, Plunder
Players must gather resources from scratch, craft equipment and food to ensure survival in the post-apocalyptic world.
Players need to build their own safe house shelters to protect their resources from attacks and plundering by other players.
All other players and structures—except squad members and teammates in grouped states—can be freely attacked. Players may plunder resources from each other.
Differentiated Gameplay: Deviation and Destruction
Combat Deviations possess entirely new skill effects and control mechanics, offering diverse tactical advantages to enrich combat strategies.
The Deviation "Ursula" will accompany your survival journey. By competing for the "Realm Crystals" item and nurturing Ursula, you can ultimately invoke the Advent for area destruction, dealing massive damage within a range and creating large-scale planar void hollows.
However, the Power of the Advent will simultaneously cause Rift fracturing, forcing the plane to prematurely enter the Settlement Phase. The decision to pursue the Power of the Advent rests entirely with you.
