Greetings, Volunteers!
Join the Resistance and re-capture the territories that have been overtaken by the New Light, looted by Marauders or infested with Creatures of mysterious origin, created on Granichny. DESOLATE: The Takeover is a content update for DESOLATE, giving players new ways to fight back the forces invading Granichny Island.
With new weapon types, armor, crafting blueprints and re-imagined enemies, the island is more dangerous than ever. Join your comrades in a blood-curdling fight for liberation, and re-take Granichny from the evil forces that have occupied it for far too long!
