Missions in Deadside
Missions in Deadside offer players exciting PvE challenges with valuable rewards. They are dynamic, risky - and rewarding.
Types of missions
Static missions
These missions appear at fixed locations on the map - usually in military or industrial facilities. Players attack an enemy-controlled camp, defeat the AI opponents and then loot a loot crate.
-
Occur regularly at known spots
-
Mostly medium difficulty level
-
Ideal for solo players or small groups
Dynamic missions
Dynamic missions appear randomly on the map and are time-limited. The locations and opponents vary - these include, for example
-
Convoys: Moving NPC groups with vehicles and heavy weaponry
-
Crashed helicopters: Contested loot zones with elite opponents
-
Military outposts: Temporary bases with strong defenses
High-tier missions
These events are particularly difficult and can usually only be completed in groups. They contain valuable rewards (e.g. rare weapons, rubles, accessories) and are often located in highly contested zones.
Sequence of a mission
-
Announcement New missions appear on the map with a clear symbol and a description.
-
Approach The closer you get to the mission area, the more likely you are to come into contact with NPC patrols or snipers.
-
Combat & Tactics The terrain plays a major role. Players must use cover, work as a team and conserve ammunition.
-
Loot & Retreat After victory, the loot box can be opened. This contains weapons, ammunition, roubles and rare items. Caution: PvP is particularly likely here.
Enemy AI
The NPC opponents in missions are organized in groups and use rudimentary tactics such as:
-
Patrol routes
-
search for cover
-
Coordinated fire
-
Alarm behavior with visual contact
As the mission level increases, so does the equipment of the opponents - from simple bandits with pistols to soldiers with assault rifles and body armor.
Rewards
The loot boxes offer rewards depending on the mission level:
-
High-quality weapons (AKM, M4A1, VSD etc.)
-
Magazines & ammunition
-
Medical supplies
-
Ruble (currency)
Rare items such as backpacks or tactical vests
Risks & PvP
Missions are publicly visible, which means that anyone can enter them. Particularly rewarding missions often attract several groups - which leads to intense PvPvE situations.
Tactical advantage results from:
-
Early arrival
-
Positioning on high ground
-
Use of silencers
-
Observation from a safe distance
Team play & solo approaches
While smaller missions can easily be completed alone, a coordinated approach in groups is recommended for medium to difficult missions. Many clans use missions as training or to gather resources.
Importance for game progress
Missions are one of the best ways to quickly obtain equipment, test new weapons and prepare for major challenges such as base raids. They also offer rewarding hotspots for players with an affinity for PvP.
