Trivia

  • All guns retrieved in Survival will be kept until the player exits the server.
  • Vehicles cannot be used in Survival as the game will prevent you from opening the door. However, it is possible to use a car if only the door is left open by an enemy. For a helicopter, even if it manages to be intact after losing it's pilot and crashing, players will be unable to use it.
