Came back to the after several months and didn't find your character? Was your character lost in time?
Let us explain.
Before each big update, a global wipe takes place and affects all accounts without exception. A global wipe means that tasks, vendor reputation, money, and other progress, along with all items, are reset, and everyone starts with a new character. Your nickname is saved for you, so you can create a new character with the same nickname even if you join the new season later. Owners of tactical, elite, and supporter editions will receive the bonus items again after the wipe.
Wipes are an essential part of Early Access development. They ensure a fresh start for all players and are necessary for implementing major updates, such as new features, economy adjustments, and revamped tasks. This process helps ensure the game evolves smoothly and fairly for everyone involved.
