Pioner also offers an extraction shooter mode, the "Shadowlands", which features high-stakes survival and loot hunting. Players are faced with the constant threat of losing their gear, making every gameplay decision important to their survival.

The game has a host of activities such as PvE missions, PvP arenas, events, and mini-games like fishing and casino. These activities are designed to let players organize groups with each other to share their goals and resources.
