• Long-term alliances between groups, coordinated raids, sharing base access, or using third-party comms (Discord, etc.) to fight as one team are not allowed.

• We know if you take something you shouldn't.

VEHICLES IN PVE

VEHICLE RULES

VEHICLES in PvP

• Vehicles can be lockpicked and stolen only in PvP zones.

• Killing a player and finding their key allows you to claim their vehicle, even if the vehicle is parked in PvE.

• If you die in PvP, and your car is in PvE, your car can be stolen by the person who took your key in PvP.

• Vehicles left over 12 hours will be automatically impounded — retrieval cost is 50K.

• Always pair a new key when acquiring a vehicle. Failure to re-pair a key means no compensation if stolen.

• Cargo cannot be stored in vehicles while they are in the garage.

• Stealing a car in PVE that you think belonged to the person you killed in PVP... if the key doesn't fit, that isn't the right car.

• Your car vanishing because the serverrestarted (there's a warning) is not our issue---but make a ticket, we can see if it's on map
