What Is decimated? 

PvE/PvP survival rpg

Decimated is a PvE and PvP competitive and cooperative survival RPG. Players can play the game in two factions, "Human Citizens" and "Cyborg Cops", and earn crypto DIO through map exploration, job requests, and rewards for jailbreaks.

Also, in the missions that appear on the map, you can compete with other players and earn loot if you survive to the end. In order to survive, you need to pay attention to survival factors outside of playing against the player, such as securing food and treating injured wounds.

Difficulty and rewards in the game zones

Decimated's game has "green zone", which is low risk, low rewards, and the "red zone" which is risky but has many more rewards. The Green Zone is a safe area controlled by cyborg cops and hurting other players is prohibited.

In the red zone, you can engage in battles and robberies and play against other players. While there are many rewards to be earned, there is an increased risk of the player becoming a victim himself, so if you cross the red zone, pay close attention to the actions of other players.

in-game currency dio

DIO tokens are in-game cryptocurrencies that can be earned mainly through mission rewards. The DIO you earn is used to buy vehicles, weapons, food, and more, as well as to move around the map. DIO can be converted to USDT on the decentralized exchange Raydium, and is also available on overseas exchanges Huobi and Gate.io.

It is safe to try with the minimum amount first, confirm the transfer carefully, and then enter the value you actually wanted to send.

How to earn DIO in Decimated

The main way to earn DIO is through missions and defeating other players and NPCs. DIO can be earned through a variety of ways to explore, clean, and trade, as well as multi-element and versatile ways to distribute loot with allies in cooperative missions.

It should be noted that players may die from starvation, or bleeding, if they neglect to treat their injuries. You'll need to get food, water, and oxygen as you explore the map, so you'll need to keep in mind these factors while fighting other players.

buying and selling nft items

DECIMATED ALLOWS YOU TO EARN CRYPTO DIO BY BUYING AND SELLING EARNED VEHICLES, WEAPONS, AND CERTAIN ITEMS ON THE IN-GAME MARKETPLACE. In addition, some items, such as rare battleships, can be auctioned, so there is a possibility that you can make a big profit from a high bid.

Buying and selling NFT items also allows you to trade building parts that are available on the map. Buildings are important content in the game, such as changing and enhancing the area of the map, so if you have parts that you don't use in your buildings, such as walls, windows, doors, and pillars, it is recommended to list them and earn DIO.
