The year is 2180. Earth is a wasteland, a pale imitation of the vibrant world it once was. The great cities of humanity are now just skeletons of concrete and steel, overgrown with nature that has returned to reclaim the land. This is a world of survival, where the remnants of civilization fight to see another day.

Humanity was not brought low by its own hand. The fall came from the sky. A swarm of mechanized killers, known only as ARC, descended from orbit without warning or explanation. These hostile machines are relentless and ruthlessly efficient. They swept across the planet, their only apparent goal being the eradication of human life. Where they came from and why they attack remains a terrifying mystery.

Driven from the surface, the last survivors fled underground. They found refuge in Toledo, a sprawling subterranean city that has become humanity's final sanctuary. Here, shielded from the constant threat of ARC, a new society has taken root. Toledo is the heart of the resistance, a testament to human resilience in the face of annihilation. But life underground is a constant struggle, as resources are finite and the enemy above is ever-present.

Toledo cannot survive on its own. It needs resources from the world above: parts, supplies, and anything that can be salvaged from the ruins of the old world. This desperate need gave rise to the Raiders.

Raiders are the brave, the reckless, and the determined. They are scavengers and freedom fighters who venture out from the safety of Toledo to brave the ARC-infested surface. Every trip is a gamble, a dangerous mission to find the materials that keep their city alive. They are the frontline in the war for survival, striking back at ARC one scrap run at a time.

Now, let's see what you've learned about this world.

Understanding these core elements is the first step to becoming a Raider.
