After making waves with its Open Alpha launch on Steam and Epic Games, Fracture Labs' multiplayer survival RPG Decimated is gearing up for its most ambitious challenge yet: a $10,000 leaderboard event. Here's what you need to know about this exciting development, along with a look at the game's gritty survival mechanics.

A $10,000 Leaderboard Showdown: Earn Your Place at the Top

The leaderboard event offers players a chance to earn $DIO, Decimated's in-game token, across several competitive categories. Players can already start earning rewards from the leaderboard now, but the prizes are small. The high-stakes $10k event will launch once the alpha stabilizes, offering players more ways to win.

So, how can you earn your slice of the pie?

Ways to Rack Up $DIO

Players can earn rewards through various gameplay activities. Here's how: 

  • Killing NPCs: Take out rogue robots or cannibal raiders with ruthless precision.
  • PvP Combat: Prove your dominance by eliminating enemy players.
  • Completing Missions: Achieve objectives like scouting, delivery, and sabotage.

Note that friendly kills (both NPC and player) won't earn rewards and could lead to bans, so focus on playing fair instead.

Leaderboard Categories

  • Top Scavengers: Secure the rarest loot faster than anyone else.
  • Top Executioners: Show mastery in clearing the wasteland efficiently.
  • Top Predators: Dominate PvP battles with unmatched kill counts.
  • Top Reapers: Hunt NPCs with precision to rule the wasteland.

You can track your progress in real time via the Decimated Leaderboards.

Decimated at a Glance: Survive, Scavenge, and Thrive

Set in a dystopian future, Decimated challenges players to survive in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where every decision could mean life or death. Here's a breakdown of what makes this game a standout survival experience:

Core Gameplay

  • Dynamic Survival Mechanics: Manage hunger, thirst, health, and blood loss.
  • Faction-Based Gameplay: Choose between cyborg cops, marauders, or neutral survivors.
  • Open Exploration: Scavenge weapons, vehicles, and jetpacks through exploration—nothing is handed to you when the match begins. 
  • Teamwork Focus: Collaborate with other players to overcome harsh conditions and dangerous foes.

Open Alpha Highlights

In December, the game's Open Alpha went live with a wealth of features:

  • 150 Missions: From high-speed races to territory defense.
  • Expanded Marketplaces: Spend in-game credits or $DIO on gear and consumables.
  • Survival Tweaks: Enhanced mechanics for stamina, bleeding, and combat.

This alpha serves as a proving ground for new players and veterans alike, offering intense challenges and an evolving gameplay experience.

Upcoming Updates: What's Next for Decimated?

As the community grows, Fracture Labs is already working on new updates based on player feedback. Here's what's in the pipeline for early 2025:

  • Enhanced Leaderboards: Monthly payouts will be added for the official $10,000 event launch, allowing players to earn more compared to the current small-scale rewards.
  • NFT Integration: NFTs now function as player avatars on leaderboards and the website, with plans to include staking bonuses and perks in future updates.
  • Community-Driven Adjustments: Feedback from early Alpha players will guide gameplay balance and new feature rollouts.
