VersionWhat we know
Planned
  • The imbalance between Contraband and Lawless challenges and rewards will be addressed.
Dev build
  • PvP-specific currency, so PvP pays better than PvE but is not required.
  • Cannot be sold at a vendor.
  • PvP currency that can never clear a Lawless tag.
  • PvP reward currency spent at Abigail on goods including weapon mods.
  • Contraband is permanently marked Lawless; if you die in a PvP zone it drops for the killer.
  • PvP currency obtained from a Contraband Cache.
  • PvP-only currency obtained in Lawless areas.
  • Dropped by Contraband Caches and enemies; spent at a PvP vendor.
Alpha 4
  • A PvP reward used to buy from Abigail's shop; PvP servers hand out more of it.
  • Players on Dread Rock stash contraband in camp storage so it is not at risk, then spend it at Abigail.
