DISCOVER THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF LAMANG
Step into a world inspired by the real-life beauty of Laos in Southeast Asia, this perilous realm offers endless exploration and mysteries to uncover. Lamang was meticulously crafted from thousands of detailed photos, capturing its varied terrain and structures. Immerse yourself in lush tropical jungles, countryside villages, and cultural richness. Learn more about its history and how it is brought to life by Skalla, a cutting-edge technology incorporating authentic natural behaviors derived from true-to-life data.
SURVIVE IN A FALLEN PARADISE
Each area boasts a distinct tone and atmosphere. The stunning landscapes offer more than just scenic views; they serve as diverse tactical arenas. Utilize buildings for cover and concealment, strategically position yourself behind roadblocks, vehicles, and crates, and leverage natural foliage such as trees, bushes, and plants to remain unseen.
The geographically triangular layout ensures strategic balance among the three PMC factions, each operating from its Forward Operating Base (Base Camp). From there, plan your operations against the local hostile elements and approach all interactions with extreme caution, considering potential threats from rival factions. In tactical warfare, distinguishing friend from foe can be challenging. As you venture beyond your haven, you'll face increasingly formidable enemies and competing PMCs searching for valuable loot. At the heart of it all lies an enigmatic (and currently inaccessible) Ground Zero created by the mysterious Event. Rumors suggest that only the boldest will reach it one day…
LEARN ABOUT LAMANG’S GENESIS
Lamang Island exudes an aura of genuine history and authenticity, enveloping you in its captivating environmental narrative. Every detail, from the intricate natural debris scattered throughout the jungle to the remnants of hasty evacuations and the scars of bandit assaults on dilapidated homes, adds to the island's tale of a tumultuous past. You will learn more about its history and struggle from details scattered throughout the country. Be it a flipped chair, a smashed photo, or an unmarked grave, you will understand the turmoil plaguing the region even before the Event.
Embark on a unique journey through your assigned tasks, whether retrieving vital intelligence or valuable items for the betterment of your PMC or your own moral compass - the choice is yours. Each quest item serves a purpose, enriching your experience with valuable insight. Every location you explore unveils a narrative steeped in the aftermath of preceding atrocities, whether it's a shooting range with a disturbing array of targets limited only by the visitors' wealth or the eerie origins of ghostly tales surrounding a nearby fishing village. Finding them might be challenging because intel is scarce and the enemy is paranoid, but if you look closely, you will discover clues that will aid you in achieving your goals.
