7 itemsAbout the Game
Find containers drifting at sea, recover abandoned vehicles, seize valuable cargo, and sell or use it to make a profit. Use the money you earn to upgrade your boats, weapons, and equipment, expand your crew, and take part in more dangerous operations.
Every voyage offers different opportunities. Sometimes a container may hold luxury electronics, sometimes military equipment, and sometimes rare contraband. Collect cargo washed ashore after storms, explore sunken ships, and chase treasures hidden in the depths of the ocean.
Build and develop your own base. Construct warehouses, stockpile fuel, set up repair areas, and manage your operations from there. Negotiate with black market traders, sell contraband for higher prices in different ports, and create your own economic network at sea.
Avoid patrolling coast guard boats, hide from radar systems, or engage in high-risk chases. Organize night operations and use weather conditions such as fog and storms to your advantage.
Raid ships together with your friends, divide tasks, and work as a team to take over large merchant vessels. Bigger rewards always come with bigger risks.
