How to play RUINSTATE

A quick guide for your first days in the wasteland.

1. Create your survivor

Sign in with Google, Facebook or email, or start as a guest. Name your settlement and follow the short walkthrough. It hands you a free weapon, an Income operation and a Mercenary.

2. Run missions

Missions (expeditions) use Energy and pay Credits and experience. Repeating a mission builds Mastery for permanent bonuses. Energy refills over time.

3. Gear up

Buy weapons, armor and vehicles in the Depot. Your whole loadout counts in every fight, so better gear means more wins.

4. Build income

Income operations pay Credits every hour, even while you're away. Keep savings in the Vault so raiders can't take them.

5. Fight

Win Wasteland Brawls, then take on your region's Warlords. Raids on other players open at Level 10. Read more on the combat page.

6. Travel and level up

Each level gives skill points to spend in Training. As you grow, new regions open — travel there to find new missions and Warlords. See the world.

7. Join a faction

At Level 10 you can join (and at Level 20 start) a faction to work on projects, fight wars and hold land together.
