Xera: Survival

XERA: Survival is a modern, action-oriented open-world shooter set in 2022, after a prototype combat robot becomes self-aware, escapes and begins replicating on an industrial scale. Attempts to shut down the AI remotely trigger a war humanity cannot afford to lose. As nations fight over resources to defend against the robots, operatives raid the remains of XERA’s facilities. Two Safe Zones lie on opposite sides of the forest where the robot was hidden; between them, there are no rules of engagement, and survival is the only imperative.

Raid and survive

You can raid alone or with friends, gathering resources and scavenging for weapons, ammunition and supplies. Streamlined survival mechanics put the emphasis on action rather than micromanagement. Helicopter insertions from Safe Zones let you return quickly to the fight.

You can build bases, raid and defend them, and destroy structures. You can also craft items such as drones. The game takes place on a custom 64 sq km map.

Missions and events

Campaign operations offer rewards across five difficulty tiers. Regular in-game events include a nuclear reactor, compound assault, radio tower, civilian bunker and crashed helicopter; higher-risk events offer greater rewards.

Customize and compete

You can customize your character’s body type, face, skin, hair, brows and eyes, and choose clothing. Weapon skins and other customizations can be collected and traded up, exchanging common items for rarer ones. Steam Marketplace support lets you trade and sell skins.

Each season has leaderboards in different categories for players to compete in.
