Plot and house
How do I get my first plot?
- Research and buy a Land Plot Title in the Trade Laptop.
- On the global map, find a settlement that has an owner. You can’t even enter a settlement without one.
- Open the map inside the settlement: it shows residents’ houses and free spots.
- Find a rental sign and sign the agreement.
- Place a house and other structures through the plot plan on your land.

How much do plot and settlement titles cost?
A title must first be researched and then bought in the Trade Laptop. The research price may differ from server to server.
A Land Plot Title lets you rent land in a settlement:
A Settlement Title lets you buy a whole settlement. The owner lives there for free, rents out plots and collects taxes:
I bought a title, but the game says I don't have it. What do I do?
Check two things:
- You bought the title itself and didn’t only research it. Research unlocks the item in the laptop, the purchase is paid separately.
- The title fits the action. A Land Plot Title is for renting, a Settlement Title is for buying a settlement. The title’s level must match the district’s level.
All settlements are already bought. What now?
You don’t have to buy a settlement. Buy a Land Plot Title and rent a spot in someone else’s settlement: the map inside the settlement shows free spots. The owner will get a percentage of your laundering and laptop purchases.
It’s best not to buy a title in advance: first check the global map to see whether your state has the spots you need.
How do I give a friend or clan access to my house?
You can’t grant rights to a friend separately. But if you and your friend are in the same group, they have full access to your house.
If you want to live close by, rent plots in the same settlement.
How do I move to another plot or next to a friend?
Rent a new plot in the settlement you want. Everything in your base moves with you, and the old plot is released. You can’t move while a raid lock is active on your base.
A district of a higher level requires a title of that level, see title prices.
How do I collect tax from my settlement?
Tax from other players in your settlement is collected at its center from an NPC, at the collectors’ van. Collecting works the same way as at the Laundering Desk. Be careful: if you’re spotted, you can be killed and the money taken, and settlements have no police.
Tax accrues from residents’ laundering, and no new tax accrues until you’ve collected the previous one. Taxes for clan businesses are collected in the settlement where the clan leader lives.
Can my house and safe be robbed?
Yes, but it takes an investment. Structures are hacked with Decoders, and someone else’s safe requires a Master Key. Electronic Fuses in the security block strengthen your defense. Money in a bank account can’t be stolen.

How do I evict a player from a plot?
You need an Eviction Right. It’s applied to the plot plan, and only after all of the base’s security systems have been fully hacked. The player loses the plot and the property on it, and you can take part of it for yourself.

How do I get a plot in an area with a checkpoint?
Just rent a plot in a settlement that has already been bought. You don’t have to buy that settlement yourself: it can belong to another player.
A defense bonus for your base comes from a nearby building, the Bunker: +3 defense points for the main building, outbuildings and walls.
How many plots and settlements can I have?
You have one plot: when you rent a new one, everything in your base moves and the old plot is released.
You can buy up to 5 settlements. Nobody can take a purchased settlement from you until the end of the wipe.
Can I give up a settlement or plot?
The game has no button to give up a settlement. You can only change a rented plot by renting another one.
Where do I get Decoders and how many do I need?
Decoders drop by chance when searching spots on the map, and epic ones can also be obtained through barter. Stores don’t sell them.
How many you need depends on the building’s defense. A table for each building and Decoder type: raid and base defense guide.

What happens to the security panel after a hack?
Electronic Fuses aren’t destroyed by a hack. After a full hack, the owner repairs the panel at the building itself, and the block’s defense is restored. While a raid lock is active, some actions at the base are blocked.

Can my car be stolen?
A normal hack can’t steal a car: it only passes to another player together with the house, in a full raid with an Eviction Right. A trunk, however, can be broken into at any time and in any place.
