Buy Brick 2: Rags 2 Riches PC key

Brick 2: Rags 2 Riches is an open-world survival game set on Brick City's island. You start with nothing but a brick and try to work your way up, finding or making food, water, shelter, weapons, transport, a crew and a reputation. Play alone, in co-op with friends or on persistent online PvP servers, where bases can be raided even while their owners are offline.

The island

Brick City's island includes downtown towers and blocks, two favelas on the hillsides, suburbs, highways, forest, rivers, lakes, frozen highlands, dust flats and the sea. Day and night cycle, storms roll in, and the cold highlands require suitable clothing. The city continues running while you are away, with traffic, pedestrians, food trucks, buses on their routes and a train on its loop.

You can travel by bus, taxi, train, car or mountain bike. Cars can be stolen or bought at Big Tony's, then wrecked and repaired. They use driving physics and have a speed limiter, horn, headlights and radio. Mountain bikes can be ridden, used to fight from the saddle and chained to a post at your base.

Gather and build

Chop trees, break rocks, mine ore and scavenge bins and dumpsters. Smelt ore in a furnace, cook on a campfire or stove, and progress through three workbench tiers using tech sheets to unlock better gear. You can also hunt, fish, farm crops and collect seeds, craft items, and cook. Health, stamina, hunger and thirst matter; you can get sick or hurt and need to recover, while wearing the wrong clothes in the highlands can be fatal.

Build bases from foundations, walls, doors, stairs, gates, garage doors and ladders. Claim the site with a tool cabinet and pay upkeep to maintain it; structures can be upgraded from wood to stone to metal, and doors can use code locks. Generators, cables, batteries, lights, spotlights and a Powered Smelter provide power, while spikes, barbed wire, landmines, bear traps and turrets help defend your base. The Powered Smelter works four times as fast as a regular smelter, but C4 can bring down a base.

Crews and rival gangs

You can start a crew with friends or hire recruits at a Clubhouse, arm them and assign jobs such as guarding the base, farming, mining, cooking, smelting, hustling or repairing walls and cars. Build crew reputation and treasury, take turf and raid rivals. Twenty AI rivals gather resources, build bases, form crews, fight over turf, sell what they do not need, raid one another and chat.

Four gangs control turf across the city, including two based in the favelas. Capture a flag to earn income for your crew, then protect it with guards, traps and turrets as gangs and rivals try to take it back. Cargo planes drop airdrops across the island, and everyone can hear when a plane arrives.

Heists and combat

Rob Summit Bank by blowing open the door and cracking the vault, then try to reach your car as your wanted stars rise. Police arrive in waves, followed by SWAT and a police helicopter that keeps pursuing you until it is on fire. The military airbase has soldiers and some of the island's best gear; the army can raid, and the prison and Old Mine have their own dangers. Enemies can see and hear you, including your footsteps and gunshots.

Weapons range from pipe pistols to sniper rifles, crossbows and rocket launchers, with scopes and attachments. Bullets have drop and take time to reach their target. When you die, your backpack falls with everything still inside, leaving someone to retrieve it.

City life and home

Hustle on street corners, sell items at pawn shops, borrow from loan sharks, visit the gun store and take jobs from contacts on your phone, some of which are legal. You can also buy cars at Big Tony's. At the Furniture Store on Broad Street, furnish your base with sofas, beds that become respawn points, fridges, safes, a hot tub, darts, a pool table and arcade cabinets that play games. TVs show music videos and news, and can display your security cameras. You can also add a weapon rack, an armor mannequin for quickly changing gear, spotlights and a boom box.

Phone and competition

Pair the free Da BRICK phone app with your game or server to check a live map, your crew, security cameras, messages and server news while away. It can also send a raid alarm to your phone when someone attacks your base.

The game has 18 skills, 41 Steam achievements and leaderboards for cash, kills, hunting, fishing, cars stolen, longest life and turfs taken. Rankings cover players and crews, for the current wipe and all time, and appear in the game, on boards around the city and on Discord.
