Special Assignment: Search and Seizure



Survivors, a new research assignment has been sent from the sea labs HQ.

We’ve been tasked with gathering as much intel about the local zone as possible. We’re looking for natural anomalies, landscape features, and an assortment of equipment that has survived the storms.

We’ve annexed a document listing all items of interest below. Each item has a particular value to the labs crew, so different submissions may earn a different amount of credit to the participant.

Participants are required to capture photos of as many priority items as possible at once. The more items captured in one image, the higher value the image is worth.

[h2]Rules[/h2]

  • Community guidelines still apply
  • Participants must follow the community guidelines, failing to do so will disqualify you from the event. Find them here.
  • All event submissions must be through an in-game screenshot.
  • No alternate forms of submission will be accepted.
  • 3 screenshot limit
  • You may delete submitted screenshots to resubmit one with a higher score.
