Deadly Cold Zones



In Permafrost, the Cold Zones are where the real rewards wait and where most survivors freeze before reaching them. These areas are colder than anything else on the map, draining your heat, energy, and stamina in seconds.

You will not last long without the right gear. Portable heaters, upgraded thermal clothing, and crafted heat packs are essential. Even a short stay without protection can kill you.

But those who prepare well find what others cannot: rare loot, high grade materials, and forgotten tech buried under the ice. Cold Zones are brutal, but the best survivors know the colder it gets, the better the treasure.

5 Things That Can Kill You



Survival in Permafrost is brutal. Every step into the frozen wasteland is a gamble, and death can come from places you never imagined. It’s not just the cold that will test you, but the world itself and the people still clinging to it.

We’ve put together a short video that shows just how unforgiving life can be when the ice closes in. Take a look, then ask yourself: how long could you really last out there?

Meet the Mule



Every survivor has a story, but few are as vital as the Mule’s.

A seasoned trader, the Mule was the first to open shop near the church after the Cataclysm. Since then he has built a network of trading posts that keep scattered settlements alive. Calm, fair, and always on the move, he earned the trust of many without ever pledging to a side.

For you, the Mule is more than just a merchant. He is your access to supplies, rare items, and crucial information. Through him you can trade resources that decide whether a camp survives or collapses.

The Mule is the quiet force behind survival. When he appears, it means opportunity, stability, and hope in a world where those are in short supply.
