Early Access Review
Incredibly pay to win and overly grindy. There are several weapons that are only purchasable via premium currency. Majority of the player base are russians, even on US servers. The game starts you with a premium trial for free, but when it ends it locks away 2 of your loadout slots. So until you pay 200k silver (the base currency, for reference tier 2 guns cost 16k silver.) you can no longer switch primary weapons in battle. Once you place an attachment on one of your guns it can no longer be used on a different gun, without paying premium to 'unbind' it. There is fun to be had with this game, the gunplay is good and the movement physics are mostly good, but theres a lot of garbage to put up with.

We'd like to clarify a bit of misinformation.

  • There are several weapons that are only purchasable with premium currency.

    It might look like that on paper, but in reality these Premium weapons are camo versions of other weapons that can be won in Treasure Hunt by using Stash maps that you can find by doing Daily or Team Missions.

  • So until you pay 200k silver you can no longer switch primary weapons in battle.

    Whenever you activate a Premium account, you'll get access to all 3 profiles again for its duration. It is not necessary to pay in order to activate a Premium account, as we have a system of Premium tickets that players can get by doing Daily Missions, from Treasure Hunt or just by logging in (6th consecutive login always gives a Premium account for 1 day).
    For players who struggle with getting enough Silver to buy their 2nd profile we always have some codes available. For example, there's a code called DEFEATCOVID that can be used by anyone on our website and it will give you a Premium account for 3 days.
    If you want another code you can join our discord and drop us a PM, we'll give you a welcome pack.

  • Once you place an attachment on one of your guns it can no longer be used on a different gun, without paying premium to 'unbind' it.

    This is true, but you can remove it for free and use it on camo versions of that gun later on. You can also craft attachments with spare parts or win them in matches, so it shouldn't be too difficult to get attachments for your other weapons. If you don't have enough spare parts to craft an attachment we have another code that can be used by anyone and gives 500 spare parts: SURVIVECOVID.

  • Majority of the player base are Russians, even on US servers.

    Not sure we understand how is this enough of an issue to affect the game review negatively...? You can always mute voice or text chat of other players if you find them annoying.
