¶ ABOUT THIS GAME
Deadside is a hardcore multiplayer shooter set in a large open world with on a focus on constant PvP, and complex PvE against realistic enemies. Deadside aims to build an excellent open world survival shooter experience, while adding in new ideas to create a gameplay experience unique to Deadside. Built in the powerful Unreal Engine 4, Deadside looks good, and runs smoothly while doing it. The game is currently still in beta development, and will most likely stay in beta for at least another couple years. Bad Pixel Studios, the creators of Deadside, was a very small studio (~7-10 people) during the first three years of Deadside's development. In 2022, Bad Pixel Studios was acquired by tinyBuild, a large publishing company, which has sped up development by greatly expanding the size of Bad Pixel Studios.
While the Deadside community may be small compared to other games out there, both the developers and players are very passionate. We hope you can see that yourself by looking through this wiki, created and maintained by both community volunteers, and active developers
¶ THE WORLD OF DEADSIDE
The world of Deadside is a large peninsula, that is populated by towns, campsites, military bases, and hostile AI. Players will eventually have access to an area of about 225 sq. km, entangled by a network of roads and rivers. While you wonder the map, there will always be something in sight to explore or loot. You might find a player made base, or a tunnel with some enemies preparing an ambush on the other side. You will meet other players, and it is up to you to try and make a friend, or to try and get some quick gear. If you get tired of running on foot, you can try and find a vehicle, at the risk of becoming a bigger and louder target. Once you find an area that you like, you can make it your home
¶ PvE EVENTS
If survival on its own isn't challenging enough for you, there are various events that pop up in the game world. This can be anything from a crashed helicopter, to a convoy carrying a valuable case. Most events are guarded by dangerous hostile AI, who will not hesitate to fire upon anyone they see. If you manage to complete an event, you will be rewarded with high quality loot that you sometimes cannot find anywhere else. But beware, there are other players on the map that will want this gear too. These PvE Events have a secondary function, to draw players into a single area, creating organic PvP situations. Combined with the already challenging AI, you get a PvPvE experience that is completely unique to Deadside.
¶ WEAPONS
One of the main features of Deadside, is its gunplay. Each weapon is designed to fit a different playstyle, and with nearly 35 weapons in the game, there will definitely be one that suits you. There are many different tiers of weapons, ranging from very modern tactical rifles, to shotguns that haven't been cleaned in a few decades.
Firearms in Deadside have very realistic ballistic trajectories, requiring the shooter to both compensate for lead, and drop of the bullet.
Weapons can be modified with attachments, and can even found with unique skins if you know where to look
¶ TRADERS & SAFE ZONES
While the open world of Deadside can be a harsh and dangerous place, there are places to find some safety. These are the Safe Zones, where players cannot damage each other. Inside of these two zones, are traders, and free storage. The traders sell most of what you need, but only for the right price. The free storage lockers provide an easy place for new players to safely store gear without creating a base. This is also where you can store your money for later. In the Safe Zone is where a lot of player interactions happen, so enjoy the interesting conversations, or, noises, happening there.
¶ BASE BUILDING and RAIDING
Deadside has a simple yet effective craft system that allows players to build bases, which provide storage, water collection, cosmetic clothing features, and a respawn point. Currently, bases have an “online-only” raid system. If you kill other players and they have a base, they might drop a raid token. This token, when activated, shows everyone on the server the location of the base, and it’s raidable for an hour. Bases are a large part of the gameplay of Deadside, and they will be expanded upon in the future.
