ETHEREAL LIMBO
The world’s painted with a pale color palette and dense fog blends the shifting dunes with scattered structures creating a dreamlike liminal space where reality blurs.
AWE AMONG TITANS
Colossal remnants of a lost era stand as graves to history. Evoking Megalophobia, the fear of the huge.
HOSTILE WASTELAND
The land itself doesn't want you to be here. It’s harsh, violent, and will throw all manor of insect, miasma, and sandstorm it can at you.

ECHOES OF EXTINCTION
RETREAT TO THE MINES
THE WASTELAND WANDERER
WORLD
Ancient Forerunners revered this planet's sacred Ether—until human miners, driven by corporate greed, waged genocidal war and stripped the world bare.
Ether extraction poisoned the skies with storms and toxins, forcing the human survivors into a labyrinth of underground settlements carved from the mining ruins.
As a Scav, you must emerge to the surface, braving the mutated horrors and ether tempests to scavenge relics and fulfill desperate contracts from those underground.
