Oil Rig

Boat in, scientists, heavy crate, chinook โ€” and a boat out that everyone hears.

Small and Large Oil Rig are timed PvE islands with a PvP extraction. You boat or mini in, clear scientists, hack the crate, and leave before the heavy scientists and the rest of the server arrive. The water is the third-party highway. If you cannot land a mini, take a boat and practice on a dead server. Do not take your only kit and your only boat with no bag on the mainland.

Get there
Boat or minicopter โ€” landing is the skill
Timer
Crate hack is a dinner bell
Fail
No exit vehicle, no mainland bag

Key spots

  • Helipad / boat

    How you live. How they arrive.

  • Scientists

    Clear systematically. Spraying from the water is how you die to the next wave.

  • Locked crate

    Start it when you can hold. The hack is public.

  • Heavies

    The crate's friends. Meds, cover, do not greed the last box in the open.

  • Chinook / extra

    If it drops, the whole ocean heard. Decide if you are the third party or the loot.

Play notes

  • Do not take a minicopter as your first vehicle if you cannot land it.
  • A duo with bags on shore beats a solo hero cinematic.
  • Night oil with no lights is a scientist shooting gallery โ€” you are the gallery.
