In-Game Documentation (and Speculation) -- Closed Beta

A list of all the items, controls, skills, etc. in-game.

originally i created this guide to speculate on some things in-game, but i’ve decided to dedicate myself to documenting everything currently in the Closed Beta to help out other players as well! this is a collaboration between a few people, but you can join too! if you find a new item in-game send an image or video of it to this thread or on the GZ discord, i will add it to this list! i will also be continually updating and adding to the list so keep on checking back for more info

here are some things we’ve gathered and found so far:

Ammo Calibers and Types

Ammo types used by different weapons.

  • 9mm SMG (Used by Kpist SMG + HK5)
    Hollow Point (HP), Armor-Piercing (AP) & Full Metal Jacket (FMJ)

  • High-Explosive Dual-Purpose (Used by the Granatgevär M/49)
  • Smoke Round (Also used by the Granatgevär M/49)

Unused calibers (no weapon found uses them):

  • 5.56mm (Used by unknown assault rifle) - Comes in AP and FMJ types
  • .50 BMG (Used by unknown sniper rifle) - Comes in AP and FMJ types

Speculated calibers (theorized to exist in the beta):

  • .338 [Maybe spotted in DangerousDan’s livestream?]

Weapon & Attachment Quality Levels

There are FIVE quality levels for weapons and weapon attachments. These quality levels will affect weapon statistics like accuracy and firepower, as well as cosmetic details such as wear on the weapon or attachment body (grime, mud, scratches, etc) (cracks on scope lens, etc). They are, in order from common to rare:

  • Dilapidated (1 Crown) [Grey]
  • Worn (2 Crowns) [Green]
  • Good (3 Crowns) [Light Blue]
  • Exceptional (4 Crowns) [Purple]
  • Special (5 Crowns) [Light Yellow]

The quality level (as well as the amount of crowns and color) can be seen next to the weapon name in the inventory weapon info display.

NOTE: It seems as though all Special weapons (5 Crowns) have iron-sights that glow in the dark, if they are found without a built-in scope or other optic. Most of they also have unique cosmetic changes (eg. the 12G Pump Shotgun’s Special variant is two-toned chrome and black).


Weapon Attachments

(WIP)


Medical Items

Items that benefit your or your teammates’ status.
[ITEM - EFFECT]

  • First Aid Kit - RAPIDLY heals 100% of your health
    [Note: The flavor text actually says “50% of your health healed”, which is incorrect]
  • Advanced First Aid Kit - Heals around 70% of your health
  • Standard First Aid Kit - Heals around 40-50% of your health
  • Simple First Aid Kit - Restores around 25% of your health slowly
  • Adrenaline Shot - Needed to revive a co-op player, also can be used to revive yourself

Known Bug: Medical items do not heal player and just get consumed. Fix for this is to currently restart the game.


Throwable Items

Items that can be thrown, almost all are one-time use.
[ITEM (DURABILITY) - EFFECT ]

  • Emergency Flare (1 use per) - When thrown, machines will shoot at the flare
  • Emergency Flare Sticky (1 use per) - Same effect as flares, but sticks onto surfaces

  • Smoke Grenade (1 use per) - Creates smoke that interferes with sight
  • Small EMP Cell (1 use per) - When thrown, explodes with a small EMP charge

Note: Throwable items such as the Flare and Grenade do not travel in a relatively straight line when thrown, instead they travel in a high arc. This is especially seen when aiming at a close object.

  • Comm Array Lure - Used to lure machines
    Comes in variations of Light and Medium

Speculation

  • some players have found a .50 BMG caliber, but no weapons that use it yet, and the in-game description of the round mention a sniper rifle. off the top of my head the only sniper rifle i can think of that chambers in .50 BMG and manufactured during 1980 is the Barrett M82. this rifle was also sold to the swedish army in 1989 as the Ag 90 C. i have a good feeling that this sniper rifle will be in the full game.

  • it seems as though higher level players have an easier time finding higher level loot (such as the .44 Magnus, HK5 etc.) than players with a lower level, theory is that loot quality is tied with both player level and map area

  • the FULL map size (not the closed beta explorable area) appears to be around 19x10km

@BiddinWar, for basically 90% of the content in this guide. he found practically every rare item and graciously passed the info onto me to document. if it weren’t for him, this guide wouldn’t be a guide at all – still at the speculation phase :stuck_out_tongue:
@macdaddymario for giving me his PC key because i was too impatient to wait! i ended up recieving my own pc key in the mail later, and as i promised to him, i did give it away to someone who needed it :+1:
@Major, @Mirrin, and anyone else who i played with! it was a blast and i hope we can play with each other again sometime!


any other information is important, so definitely share it! i can and will include important information in my original post for convienence if you request it!

Game is taking place for sure in November of 1989 OR early 1990 due to the fact of the Berlin Wall and its fall being mentioned. Its fall/deconstruction was announced in 1989, November 9th.

Humans (NPCs) are likely to exist if you follow through and read all the quests you get. There seems to have been a rather large military operation regarding evacuation that may have been somewhat successful. This is a speculation based on what I’ve seen in game

Another weapon commonly used by the Swedish Armed Forces during this period of time is the KSP 58 which is a Swedish licensed and produced version of the FN MAG, a Light Machine Gun which is a weapon type that has not yet been spotted within the game. It also uses the same ammo as the AK4.

The AK5 or Swedish licensed and produced FN FNC however was introduced in 1986 and uses 5.56, and since that ammo type is already inside the game, this could mean it’s a possible new weapon as well.

Personally i would enjoy seeing some of the weapons used by the swedish armed forces. The timeframe is also pretty good for that as a lot of our current equipment was introduced in the 80-90’s.

Anyone find exceptional or special condition weapons?

West of Saltham, I found some shipping cargo containers with deactivated robots inside. Are they a governmental thing or are the Russians coming?!

We have found T4 and T5 Items, we got pictures which will be added later on!

Can’t find the hunting rifle .270 any help would be appreciated

mogę w to zagrać bo widziałem na yt i jest fajna. Nagrywał to polski jutu ber i dostał klucz i gra.

Yes a 5 star gold hunting rifle dropped from a 4 legged tank i was in disbelief as i read a post few days ago saying robots dont drop guns so its either a bug or i was lucky . The gun has a name not sure what i passed it to friend who needed rifle and already had 270 ammo , can be found in box aswell as he found one when i was not online , good luck , ps the tank i battled was on a street in the big massive town called OSTERVIK , this is for those who have clicked this page and read a 5 month old question , this reply is for people looking for an answer after 26th march launch day onwards . Thanks

Can confirm. I found a .50 cal, gold quality sniper rifle on a harvester in Ostervik.

Very good news i could do with one will go back thanks

Bit late to see this (game has been alreaddy released now) but just as a side note:
In-game Assault rifle 5 in 5,56 mm is definately a FN FNC.
