Your team of five is battling against three other teams to collect 15,000 points and be the first to activate the radio transmitter for the extraction helicopter. Unleash your energy and charge through the chaos of war. Powerspikes give you the advantage to gain the upper hand against your opponents. Become a radioactive bear or clear the path with a moose tank.

The bond between humans and animals has always been strong in Scandinavia. Now more than ever, it's crucial to utilize this connection to escape. Collaboration is crucial as each player has a vital role to play. Battles will be intense and strategic. It's essential to ensure enemy positioning, weapon choice, and effective communication for survival. Choose between five distinct roles, each with its own specific equipment. The roles include Assault, Engineer, Medic, Scout, and Support, each plays a vital role in the team's success.

  • Plunder: Complete objectives, break through locked areas or find hidden objects. Discover food, drinks, and weapon parts that give you advantages for equipment and points. Take everything you find, stay alive, and be aware of the radioactive fog!
  • Build: Secure a Stronghold, construct defenses, purchase and upgrade your weapons. Ensure your team is prepared to fight for the electro pods needed for your radio transmitter.
  • Extraction: Gather the electro-tubes from the air supplies and construct your radio transmitter inside your Stronghold. Defend your Stronghold at all costs until the radio signal is sent.
