Dear Metas,
Since Once Human: RaidZone entered Early Access on May 21 (PT), tens of thousands of players have experienced its intense PvP action. After receiving enthusiastic feedback and suggestions from the community and implementing many optimizations and bug fixes, RaidZone is finally ready for launch.
We are excited to announce RaidZone's official global launch on July 29 (PT)! This is only the beginning. We will continue gathering feedback and providing optimizations and content updates for RaidZone to deliver the ultimate search, fight, and loot experience!
Mode introduction
Join RaidZone and dive into the hardcore PvP survival action!
1. Absolute Fairness: In RaidZone, servers will undergo periodic resets. All players start each match on equal footing, and must explore, build, and survive against environmental threats and rival players alike.
2. Unrestricted Combat: RaidZone is a hardcore PvP experience. Anyone can attack you, anytime and anywhere. You must quickly establish your territory to protect yourself and your resources. Unlock new crafting and building abilities through exploration and construct an impregnable territory before anyone else. Compete to survive the longest and defeat the mightiest enemies, and become the King of the RaidZone!
Features
RaidZone features different combat abilities and resource distribution from the regular Once Human mode. Everything is crafted to deliver a fair and competitive PvP experience with intense and enjoyable combat.
Fair PvP Combat
1. Weapons: In RaidZone, weapon combat is more pure and realistic, with no unique blueprint effects. Instead, higher-tier weapons offer superior handling and higher base damage.
2. Armor: All players have the same Max HP, with armor providing additional protection. Higher-tier armor provides better shield bonuses, with various sets and pieces featuring unique effects.
3. Deviations: In RaidZone, Combat Deviations will grant you unique abilities with distinct combat advantages that add strategic depth and variety to fights.
No Safe Supplies
In RaidZone, there are more ways to obtain resources: exploration, crafting, trading, or even raiding and looting others' territories!
If you are defeated or your territory is breached, all held or stored resources will become another player's loot. Only the most cunning Meta-Humans will survive the apocalypse!
Strategic Territory Warfare
In RaidZone, your character persists in the game world and is vulnerable to attack, even when you're offline! To survive, you must build a well-fortified territory that can protect both yourself and your resources from raiders.
Gather resources to upgrade your technology and unlock more territory defense options, including weapons, ammo, tactical items, defense facilities, and structures. Remember, a clever rabbit always has three nests! In RaidZone, you can build up to three territories to outwit your opponents and survive till the end!
Server Rules
To ensure a fair survival PvP experience in RaidZone, periodic resets and server tags will be implemented for RaidZone servers after the update on July 29 (PT).
Reset Rules: After the update, biweekly servers will be open at first. These servers are reset every 14 days. You can sign up for servers that are resetting soon via the sign-up system.
Server Name Rules: To help you distinguish various servers, the rules for RaidZone server names will be standardized to: ResetPeriod_FeatureTag-SerialNumber.
For example, a server named 'Biweekly_Hard-A001' resets every two weeks, has the Intense tag, and its serial number is A001.
Server Tag Rules:
Every server features a different reset period and gameplay intensity level. You can easily check the tag in the server's name and choose a suitable server to join. These are some of the tags:
Thursday: The server resets on Thursday.
Easy: The server's concurrent player limit is low, so the PvP encounter rate will be lower.
Hard: The server's concurrent player limit is high, so the PvP encounter rate will be higher.
In the future, we will add more tags based on your requests to deliver a deeper gameplay experience.
RaidZone Server Transfer Rule Differences
1. Permanent servers are not available in RaidZone.
2. To deliver a fair PvP experience, RaidZone servers have exclusive resource transfer rules. All resources must be obtained and used within each match.
a) In RaidZone, all gear, items, and Deviations must be unlocked or obtained within each match. Players cannot bring supplies from Eternaland or the Spacetime Backpack into a match. Weapon blueprints, mods, and accessories from other modes cannot be used.
b) All blueprints, weapon accessories, and the vast majority of Deviations obtained in RaidZone are exclusive to this mode and cannot be transferred out.
3. Exiting a RaidZone server does not require a Scenario Exit Card.
4. Characters can be transferred between RaidZone servers and regular Once Human servers.
a) You can pre-register for a regular Once Human server from a RaidZone server.
b) You can also pre-register for a RaidZone server from a regular Once Human server.

Multi-Mode Account and Character Data Rules

The rules differ in each mode.
1. Account Data and Feature Availability

b) Content that affects PvP balance (such as blueprints and mods) cannot be used in RaidZone, but their data is retained under your account. Cosmetics (such as fashion pieces, vehicle skins, and furniture skins) can be used in all modes.
c) While in RaidZone, characters cannot access Eternaland and the Spacetime Backpack until they leave the RaidZone match.
2. Shop and Events
a) Events: Events may differ between modes. For more information, refer to the Events interface.
b) Shop: Premium content purchased from the Shop is shared across all modes, including progress and items.
c) Battle Pass: Non-cosmetic Battle Pass rewards are independent for each mode and can be claimed once per mode. Cosmetic and Silver Key rewards are shared between modes and can only be claimed once per account. Cosmetics can be used in any mode.
Anti-Cheat Measures
RaidZone is a competitive PvP mode, so combating cheaters is our utmost priority. After analyzing data and our anti-cheat efforts from Early Access, we have implemented NetEase Games' strictest anti-cheat standards and automated enforcement protocols to immediately ban cheaters with minimal delay.
Beyond account bans, our zero-tolerance anti-cheat policy extends to include device bans and IP bans. We will also pursue legal action, including enforcement and lawsuits, against individuals or organizations who sell cheats.
Cheat prevention is an ongoing process. Cheat developers will continuously upgrade their tools in response to our anti-cheat policies and code. To assist our efforts, please report any suspicious players or behavior encountered in the game. If you have information about cheat sellers or providers, please inform us as well. Valid leads will be rewarded with cash prizes or valuable in-game items. Join us in our fight for fair play!
We hope that Once Human: RaidZone will deliver a satisfactory PvP experience. If you have any questions or suggestions, reach out to us via the Co-Dev Feedback Platform or our community channels. We're also preparing more content for future updates. Stay tuned!
