Hit & Respawn Rules
Details linked HERE
ExceptionsMonolith may self-respawn at any respawn tree that is away from live players.Mercenaries do not have to wait three minutes after getting hit, but they may only respawn by touching the Pond trading post.
Asset RecoveryThe Military and Stalkers will start from their respective self-respawn locations. They may search for and recover the assets by bringing them to the Merchant at the Pond trading post to be traded in for points as follows:gold bar = 10 pointsammo box = 20 pointsmedical case = 20 pointswater jug = 20 pointsartifact = 60 pointsAssets that are larger than a basketball must be kept at least 200 feet away from the Military and Stalkers' self-respawn locations at all times.The Pond trading post is a safe zone where no shooting is allowed either into or out of its perimeter. Only live players may enter, but they must put on their red rags (self-hit) before interacting with the Merchant. Then, in order to get back into the rest of the game as live players again, they must respawn per the above rules. Excessive camping around the Pond may result in harsh interventions from the Merchant and/or the Mercenaries. The Merchant will keep track of each faction's points. Assets that are traded to the Merchant may be redistributed back into the AO for repeated future recoveries:
MonolithAs special force within the AO, Monolith is essentially a part of the zone itself and will do anything to protect what belongs to it. They may operate out of the Pond trading post and have the privilege of being allowed to leave it as live players. Monolith operators may carry some useful items hidden on them, so it may be worth eliminating them and searching their bodies.Occasionally, Monolith will move rare supernatural artifacts through the zone. These items are highly valued on the black market and by world agencies alike. It's in the best interest of any other faction to stop them and take these artifacts for themselves, but Monolith won't give them up without a fight!
MercenariesAs the peacekeepers of the Pond trading post, Mercenaries are specifically hired out by the Merchant to brutally enforce their law on any passersby who act out of line or disobey their commands. So, listen carefully and approach with caution. Mercenaries are normally aggressive and combatant, however, will sometimes aid those nearby who are bringing valuable product in for trade. As it makes their boss more money, it also makes them more money!
EcologistThere is a scientist is on a mission to decipher the zone once and for all. This wandering ecologist is friendly to all factions and seeks only the truth about the zone; therefore, it may be beneficial to provide assistance. This NPC is invincible to BB strikes and should not be attacked.
GoalBetween the Military and Stalkers, the faction with the most points at endex will be declared the winner!
