Pioner Gameplay

Pioner is a first-person shooter MMORPG centered around survival mechanics and exploration. The game features both a hunger and a rest system, which affects the player’s strength and survival. Resources must be strategically managed to ensure their survival.
Using a variety of weapons, along with the selection of modules and designs that can be used to customize them, players can take on mutated monsters, anomalies, and other humans. Players can play solo or team up with other players and align with eleven factions, each offering different characters, narratives, and rewards.

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.
