The August 2023 wipe saw the activation of large-scale intelligence gathering with the usage of Project R.A.D.A.R., detecting 2,394 bases across the map and collecting data on player locations and weapon usage. Every enemy of the Government had their structures and external walls pinpointed and labelled, leaving nowhere for them to hide from Government and allied forces.

The Government is represented in green, with allies in blue, and hostile bases in red.

Aside from the strategic value of RADAR, it also revealed interesting statistics, such as the rate of creative/roleplay buildings being only 0.3%. The Assault Rifle was fired more often than any other weapon, accounting for 29% of total weapon usage, ahead of the Thompson at 21%, and the Semi-automatic Rifle in 3rd at 14.5%.
