THE BLACKOUTX PROTOCOL

⌖ INITIALIZING

Your Main Profile is unreachable, your assets are gone, and every life begins through a Proxy.
Fight, loot, build your name, and survive long enough to find a way back.

CONNECTING TO GRID…

BREAK THE PROTOCOL

The city didn't trap you, It replaced you. Your identity is gone, your record rewritten, now the Grid is waiting to see what you become.

THE BLACKOUT: X PROTOCOL

SURVIVE THE GRID

Every rule here was written to break you. Learn the city's habits, then make it pay for underestimating you.

◎ THE CITY WILL…
SO YOU… ⌁
01

Hunt from above

Grid drones patrol the city, scanning streets and tracking anyone who stays exposed too long.

Break their sight

Drop the drones, move under cover, and disappear before they can lock your position.

▸
02

Make stolen cars hot

Stolen vehicles draw attention. Drive reckless and the heat climbs fast.

Drive like it's yours

Blend into traffic, stay clean, and give the drones less to flag.

▸
03

Let the Sweep loose

When the Sweep hits, the streets turn hostile and exposed players become easy targets.

Move while they hide

Use the chaos to hunt, loot, and cash in while everyone else is trying to survive.

▸
04

Hide the good stuff

The best loot isn't sitting in plain sight. Hidden crates, buried caches, and forgotten stashes are scattered across the city.

Find it before they do

Search off-route spots, follow clues, and dig up what other players walk right past.

▸
05

Leave something behind

Die carrying gear and your bag stays where you fell. After a while, everyone gets the location.

Beat them back to it

Recover it fast, or let your death turn into someone else's payday.

▸
06

Leave your channel exposed

Open radio channels can be found, followed, and used against you.

Lock the frequency

Secure your phone radio with a private channel and keep your crew off the public air.

▸

Learn the Grid, find what it was built to hide.

VOICES IN THE GRID

You won’t find every contact yourself, Some guide you, Some test you, Some are already watching.
And some are still waiting to be found.

Dax working at a signal terminal

DAX

“The Proxy is locked, That doesn’t mean it’s dead.”

Dax still runs what remains of the Proxy network. The main system may be locked, but he’s found other ways in. Every apartment you secure opens a different route into his network, giving you access to new jobs, contacts, and opportunities across the city.

ACTIVE TRANSMISSION · DAX

Get yourself a place. Once you’re inside, I’ll see what I can open for you.

Marlow

Marlow

“Do the job. Don’t ask who wanted it done.”

Marlow keeps City Service work moving across the city. Most assignments look ordinary enough, but every now and then he sends something that clearly came from somewhere else.The less you ask, the more work he’s willing to send your way.

Vex

Vex

“I don’t need loyalty. I need results.”

Vex keeps a list of favors for people willing to work outside the Grid’s rules. Every one you complete tells her a little more about what you’re capable of.What she gives back can change how you survive the city.

Vale

Vale

“You got our attention.”

Vale doesn’t advertise himself, and he doesn’t wait to be found. When X decides someone is worth watching, he’s usually the one who makes contact.Those who do are already closer to the truth than they realize.

No two survivors tell the same story. Listen closely, every rumor costs something.

The Wiki

Everything you need to actually play: how the Proxy works, how to loot, craft and build, what the Sweep is, how money works, and who to talk to. Written for players, not lore nerds.

No spoilers · Written by players

THE SWEEP IS COMING

Every few hours, the Grid loses control. Heat collapses, surveillance breaks down, and the streets become more dangerous, and more valuable.

WELCOME TO
THE X GRID

The lights are out. The rules are gone. The city has a new name, and it's already watching you wear it. What do you do when everything falls apart?
