| What: A feature of Legacy. |
|
| Why: To create a more realistic gangster feel; has been suggested several times in the past, as a way to make gang membership more meaningful. Also it is lots of fun. |
|
| More Info: Much more info in the "gang codex" book, in your gang library. |
|
| Wasteland pages: Wasteland Rewards Past Rounds |
|
Gang warfare can be simply explained as fighting between gangs which occurs on a 15x15 square map. Each gang has a headquarters and any member above level 10 of a certain gang has the ability to conquer and control territory.
Contents
Player Controls
Upon entering the wasteland, players can use the arrow buttons on the sides of the minimap to move in four directions (North, East, South or West). Statistics such as gang control, structures built, and players in the area are shown to the right of the minimap. Below is a small chat area, which relays various messages in addition to player chat. Messages entered in this box are only received by those on the same square.
Along with the basic controls, there are also commands. Commands do many different things, and some even require getting and finishing a certain ability. Below is a full list of commands in the Wasteland. In Update 1.7.00, Zorg released a tool in Settings meaning you could set the wasteland chat to your preference.
| /who | Display a list of fellow gang members in the wasteland. With Mind's Eye, /who displays all the player names in the wasteland, or all members of a selected gang in the wasteland. | N/A (Mind's Eye to see other gangs) |

Colorblind Support
Found in Options, Legacy offers support for those that are colorblind. Just use the drop down menu to enable, or disable this feature. Make sure to hit "Save Changes" at the bottom after changing this option. Below is what each gangs squares look like, with this feature enabled.
Warfare Abilities
For a full view, or a more in-depth view of abilities please see the Abilities page.
| Radiance | Allows you to use '/radiance' in the wasteland to make yourself invulnerable to damage for a minute. Requires a minimum of 40 focus but will empty your focus bar. Cannot attack, move or use any other abilities while active. Leaving the wasteland finishes the ability early. |
|
| Glancing | Allows you to use '/glance' in the wasteland to see adjacent squares. |
|
| Engineer | You count for double when determining repair rate of a structure in the wasteland. |
|
| Presence | You count for double when determining capture rate of a square in the wasteland. |
|
| Astral Phasing | Allows you to '/phase' to friendly or neutral squares for 5 points of focus per square. Cost decreases to 1 point per square at max level. |
|
| Astral Summoning | Allows you to use '/summon' in the wasteland to summon friendly players to you. Costs 5 points of focus per square decreasing down to 2 points at max level. |
|
| Astral Blast | Allows you to '/blast' enemy buildings for 5 to 10 damage per skill level at a cost of 60 focus. Structure must be next to one of your squares. |
|
| Basic Tracker | Allows you to use '/track' for 5 focus and determine if someone is in the wasteland and which direction they are from your current location. Can be used while cloaked. |
|
| Ether Attunement | Will display a warning if someone attempts to shadow you without using Temporal Phasing and Cloak. |
|
| Minds Eye | Enhances your '/who' command to show members from all gangs although you will only see coordinates of friendly players. |
|
| Phase Shadowing | Allows you to use '/shadow' for 30 focus after a player phases, shifts or accepts a summon from your current location to try and sense their destination and phase you directly to them. Chance of success is 20% increasing by +20% with each level. Still may fail against avatars with temporal phasing. Can be used while cloaked. |
|
| Temporal Phasing | Enhances your phase ability to have a 50% resistance to shadowing. Also gives you a new phase message and lets you phase while cloaked. |
|
Territory
Players can take territory by staying on any square adjacent to one owned by their gang. If it is a neutral square (not owned by anyone), the control percentage for the person's own gang will rise. If it is owned by an enemy gang, that gang's control percentage will drop. The rate of change is determined by the number of players and guards on the square. Once a gang's percentage reaches 50%, they then 'own' that square, and it will change to the gang's color. Sitting on your own territory will cause your percentage to rise (it will not exceed 100%).
Exposure
Due to the toxic atmosphere in the wasteland, a player's time there is limited. Every minute spent within the wasteland, his/her exposure to toxicity rises by 1%. Once a player's exposure reaches 100%, they collapse and are taken back to the hive. They then must wait until their exposure drops down to a reasonable level (90% or less) before returning. To recover, a player must spend 2 minutes per percent outside the Wastelands. Exposure drops 1% every 2 minutes in the Hive. This occurs on even minutes.
Fatigue
In addition to exposure, fatigue is another factor that weighs down on you in the wastelands, although in a different way. For every person you kill in the wastelands, you gain a fatigue point, which decreases your total stats at the following increments: 5%, 10%, 20%, 40%, 60%, and 90%. You lose one fatigue point every even minute tick, such as XX:02 and XX:04. This makes for a much more competitive experience, as Avatars on -6 Fatigue have to wait 12 minute's until they're back to normal strength. Before the Fatigue system was introduced a Fully Equipped Avatar could come into a square and wipe out everybody there, whereas now after six kills the persons Fatigue would put the person to the strength of a lvl 15-20, who, of course, could easily kill said Avatar.
Guards
Guards are similar to hunting NPCs, except they do not give XP, and must be cleared from a square to gain control, or destroy a building upon the square they were on.
Guards keep an eye over gang territory for the councils, although they are controlled completely by AI. They redistribute themselves hourly, finding the most vulnerable areas to guard. Guards have different levels, with 85 on HQ - 80,60,40,20 fanning out from deployed HQ, and 70,50,30,10 fanning out from undeployed HQ.
In basic, the further from the HQ, the weaker they are.
Headquarters
Headquarters are the base of operations; every gang has its own. When entering the wasteland, a player will begin at his/her gang's headquarters. According to Zorg's blog (Dec. 13th 2006), gang council will be able to move the gang headquarters by first undeploying them, then controlling their direction (move north, west, etc). Deploying headquarters will take six hours, as will undeploying. Once undeployed, a HQ can move one square on every 15 minute tick.

 |
 |
Structures
Structures are purchased and built by gangs, and can be "attacked" by enemy gang members. This happens automatically as its housing square is taken. Stuctures cost Gang Points and metal to build, and power to stay active. These are the current structures available.
| |
|
|
|
| Solar Station |     |
Solar power units that generate power from even the lowest light levels. |
|
| Metal Refinery |     |
Mine deep in to the wastelands and refine metal. |
|
| Defensive Turret |     |
This turret will help fight off any enemies. |
|
| Barracks |     |
Increase the total guards at your gangs disposal. (Limit: 2) |
|
| Beacon |     |
Allow quick teleportation to a location with phase shifters (Limit: 5) |
|
Objectives
Objective are what the gangs fight over, there have been many objectives and more still to come. Here is a list of the objectives that have been made for the Wastelands. Not all objectives have, or ever will appear on one map. This is just a list of the ones that have been made.

Objective Error
Objective Error is what you get when you try to enter an objective but it does not allow you to enter because your headquarters is too close to the objective. However you don't get the normal amount of points for holding it as of 2010. Here is a guide below which shows you where the objective is and how many squares away your Headquarters has to be to enable you to use it. Additionally, if a gang's HQ is within the red zone of an objective, the gang can gain no points, until the HQ has been moved. This includes points from all controlled squares, buildings, and objectives.
