101: UNDERSTANDING THE MECHANICS
This event is a hybrid LARP and MILSIM experience set in proximity to the unforgiving Zone. To facilitate a balanced, deep, and fun game for all participants there are game mechanics. Mechanics are an essential component to fully participate in the event and will greatly enhance your experience. They are not rules per se, but they do explain how things work around here.

The mechanics are separated into three chapters. It is recommended that every player reads the GENERAL chapter in full. You must then pay attention to the chapter governing your chosen faction type (LARP or MILSIM). It is advised to read all mechanics as this will make the experience deeper for you as you know how to operate in the environment. 

• GENERAL (APPLIES TO EVERYONE): These mechanics are the foundation of the event no matter your preferred playstyle. All players, regardless of faction, will be in contact with the general mechanics at one point or another. This includes universal mechanics, such as the Base's "no-shooting policy", the risks of using the smuggler's route when entering or exiting the base, map exploration, lore discoveries, how to earn income through missions etc.

• LARP: This section details mechanics specific to roleplaying, negotiation, and narrative progression as well as some mission mechanics. This applies for all LARP factions as well as those MILSIM players who wishes to embrace the LARP-side of things (highly recommended).

• MILSIM: This section details mechanics specific to MILSIM factions and only applies to:

• Cerberus operations

• Grey dynamics

• Black rift security

• Outer perimeter control

• Section zero
