[Loot Lord] Early Access

The case file detailing the explosion of the Dreamland lab that rocked the Three-star Peninsula several years back has been long since sealed away, but the scar of that incident remains on the island to this day in the form of Ultra-Titanium pollution. Humans cannot survive on this island for more than 30 minutes due to the pollution. The residents were evacuated by Three-star Security, and Dreamland itself has since been classified as a restricted area. This hasty evacuation left behind an uninhabited island full of "ownerless things".
This island, which is fraught with deadly peril, is considered by some of the more dangerous people to be "an island of gold and silver". Equipped with simple protective gear, they crossed the cordon in tiny speedboats and set foot on this uninhabited island. They scoured residential buildings, industrial zones, and laboratories for this unclaimed "treasure". They found gold statues, they found expensive watches — they found a reason to disregard life and death in their loaded backpacks and in the soaring figures in their accounts. Scraping a living from the ruins of Ultra-Titanium pollution, these people became known as gold diggers.
At first, the gold diggers were at peace with each other, searching for the treasure buried beneath the dust of time relying solely on luck. But when the first bandit, an armed gold digger, landed on the island, the deadly peril in this dangerous game changed from being polluted to the dark, eerie barrel of a gun and the "hunters" behind it. Even more dangerous, the [Silent Corps], who were behind the original explosion, have also returned to the island, heavily armed.
As a member of the Wanderers, you are desperate to learn the truth about the bombing of Dreamland back in the day. Disguised as a gold digger, you infiltrate Dreamland. Due to Ultra-Titanium contamination, Wanderers can only stay on the island for a short time before finding an evacuation point and getting off the island. With a successful evacuation, you can bring all the loot home, and your wealth will skyrocket! With radiation and guns threatening you, you'll gradually build your reputation as a gold digger, and with the power of this group, delve into the bowels of the island — into the site of the explosion at the Dreamland lab back in the day – and discover the truth.

Ⅰ. Rules Overview

[Loot Lord] is a brand new gameplay mode in first-person view which requires a 4-Player Squad. A solo player can also match.
This may be the toughest mode in Cyber Hunter. Playing the role of gold diggers, Wanderers will enter a new map, collect all kinds of valuable items, challenge tough opponents in [Silent Corps], defeat other gold diggers, and evacuate within the given time limit. They can then exchange their loot for the exclusive currency of the Three-star Peninsula, TSP, to increase their net worth and obtain more powerful weapons. Wanderers who fail to evacuate will lose all the supplies that aren't insured or placed in their Cryptboxes.

Ⅱ. Early Access Update List

1. New Map: 1 New [Loot Lord] map – Industrial Zone Crani, with the size of 1,000*1,000.
2. New Weapon: 6 new weapons. SMG - Gray Hound, SMG - Pegasus, Rifle - Robin Hood, Rifle - Sphinx, Rifle - Wind of Fury, and Sniper Rifle - Savage Hunter.
3. Firearm Modification: All new weapons are available for firearm modification. Wanderers can modify different types of components and pendants on their firearms. But different firearms grant different modification freedom. During early access, we released over 50 components/pendants for Wanderers to modify their weapons with.
4. Crafting System: After obtaining a blueprint, Wanderers are qualified to craft the corresponding firearm or armor. All firearms and armor can be self-crafted. The materials required to craft firearms and armor are available when exploring Industrial Zone Crani
5. Survival Status: Added Stamina, Health, Fullness, and more. Dreamland is an area contaminated with ultra-titanium. Wanderers will continuously lose Health and Fullness while there. Dietary supplements and food are necessary supplies when you want to go explore there.
6. Monster System: The Silent Corps are armed mercenaries who are organizing their next operation of terror on Dreamland. Defeat them for a chance to get decent drops.
7. Tons of Materials: Over 100 types of in-match drops. Wanderers can enjoy richer search experience there. Precious supply boxes may be hidden in corners of the map, so keep an eye out for them.
8. Character System: You can play as Zero, Max, or Layla to explore. Each character's Equipment Bar and Backpack are separate and need to be configured individually. When a character's Health falls below 50, they will not be able to go to Dreamland. When not in a match, Health will be restored over time.
9. Light Pack: While waiting for your character's Health to restore, you can select [Light Pack] mode. The system will assign you a character who will receive a random set of equipment. Then you can use the character to play a match.
10. Backpack System: In this mode, slots are used to calculate the capacity of your Inventory and Backpack. You can unlock more storage slots by obtaining more advanced Backpacks. Different types of supplies take up different amounts of slots, so please be careful and use them wisely.
11. Shop System: You can sell your loot for money and then buy all kinds of supplies at the merchant in Yulon Market. Bulk Sell is available in the Shop. Only the Merchant [Jade Fox]'s Shop is available in the Early Access period. Wanderers encountered the Alliance of Calamities' Jade Fox in the previous Alliance of Calamities season. More characters will become available in the later updates.
12. Insurance System: Dragon Gate Insurance will insure your weapons and armor. For insured weapons (including parts and pendants for modification) and armor, Wanderers can locate the Dragon Gate Insurance Specialist [Emily] for Insurance Deposits in the event of a failed evacuation.
13. Events: A new series of 6 events, including Profit is King, will become available at the same time! Wanderers can participate in the new mode to accumulate wealth, and then earn great rewards. Wanderers, come become the Profit King!

The background for this new map and weapons have been listed in the previous Major Update Announcement. If you are interested in them, you can find more details there. More new maps, firearms, firearm modifications, armor, monsters, NPCs and interactions with them, and new systems will be available in later updates. Stay tuned.

III. Update Guide

After the maintenance update, Wanderers will be able to download the [Loot Lord] expansion on the game mode page. Go download the expansion pack before you can play it! This mode is still in the early access period. Wanderers may experience lag, crashes, audio issues, UI issues, etc. when playing the new game mode. We will continue to work on improving the experience.

To ensure the quality of the new game mode, we are working on the final testing. The exact launch time of this mode is still to be finalized. We will notify everyone as soon as there's any new developments. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The alarm sounded abruptly. The personnel in the base kept a level head and began organizing themselves in order to flee to the safe passage. Everyone thought that this was just another regular fire drill. After the drill, there was a self-test. The base personnel began a routine check of the equipment data in the base...
Just a few minutes later, the alarm in the base sounded again, but it was not a drill this time. Drake Buster FAI's source data was stolen. A preliminary analysis showed that an unidentified outsider with the required authority stole it. Soon, a top secret incident report was sent to the Wanderer Task Force. The Wanderer Task Force must arrange some personnel to retrieve the stolen data and investigate the incident to find out who the unknown enemy is.So what was the enemy's goal?
