Player Hideouts
Player Hideouts
Player Hideouts are an elaborate system created for players to indulge in numerous activities within, ranging from legal to illegal activities, but namely also including raids. The entry level basic Hideout can be purchased within the boundary of Rebel Commune, by approaching the bunker at the map marker "Player Hideout Entrance". Windows Key'ing this bunker will give you the option to "Buy Hideout" which will take $500,000 from your bank and provide you with a player hideout. Once purchased you can then enter the player hideout by windows key'ing the bunker at any time.
Once inside the hideout, you will enter into an empty and rugged looking building which can be upgraded with resources and/or materials found within Raids, which will be covered in detail below. In order to review the things you can purchase for the hideout you should locate the Electrical Box on the wall which, when windows key'd, will show you an option to Upgrade Hideout.
Labs Raids
Periodically a notification will go out to the entire server that a Labs raid will start soon, to join the queue for a Labs raid you should enter your hideout and windows key the same door you came in through, also known as the exit door, then select "Join Raid". When the timer expires for the labs raid to begin, you will be teleported into the raid automatically. You must have a weapon in your hands in order to join the raid and these raids are considered a KOS Zone which means you are free to shoot and/or be shot by other players in the raid.
Once you spawn into the Labs Raid, you will be locked inside until you locate an Extraction Point, of which to preserve the nature of fun isn't documented in this article. Standing in an Extraction Point for a period of time will teleport you back to your hideout with any Physical or Virtual Items you have collected or that you took in with you.
