What is Deadside?

Deadside is an open-world multiplayer survival shooter set in a post-Soviet apocalypse. You collect gear, fight NPCs or other players, complete map-marked missions, build and defend bases, and travel by foot or vehicle. PvP, PvE, and scheduled-raid servers determine whether players can fight and raid each other.

Players also frequently report cheaters and a small, fragmented population.
