Operation CNTR:E is R:E City’s extraction-contract system.

Hire a mercenary, deploy into a dangerous contract zone, recover loot, complete objectives, survive enemies, and extract before time runs out.

This is risk vs reward gameplay. You deploy through a hired merc with their own loadout, gear, inventory, and risk.

🪖 Step 1 — Hire a Mercenary

Before deployment, you need a merc.

Mercs come in different tiers. Higher-tier mercs can have better weapons, armor, supplies, and survivability.

Cheaper mercs cost less, but stronger mercs give you a better chance of extracting.

🎯 Step 2 — Choose a Contract

Operation CNTR:E currently includes two contracts:

🧪 Viral

A contaminated facility raid with infected threats, gas, hostile danger, and objective recovery.

Important: Viral is first-person-only. Camera returns to normal after the raid ends.

⚓ Dockyard Sweep

A tactical dockyard raid focused on enemies, loot recovery, high-profile caches, and extraction pressure.

🎒 Step 3 — Loot, Survive, and Extract

Your goal is simple:

• Get in. Recover what you can. Get out alive.

During a raid, you can find loot, recover objectives, search caches, fight enemies, use field supplies, and extract before time runs out.

Some objectives improve payout and score. You can extract without every objective, but completed objectives give better results.

🎮 Raid Controls

TAB = Open Merc Inventory H = Use Field Med G = Use Armor Plate L = Use Ammo Box

Use supplies wisely. Running out at the wrong time can end the raid fast.

🔫 Weapon Workshop

The Weapon Workshop can customize extracted stash weapons and weapons already in a merc’s loadout.

Upgrades may include attachments, cosmetics, and visual changes. Upgrades cost dirty money, so spend carefully.

📦 Extraction, Stash, and Vendor

When you extract successfully, loot is secured into your CNTR:E stash.

Your stash may include common loot, weapons, contraband, rare items, high-profile assets, dog tags, and other rewards.

The vendor lets you sell recovered items. Sell Low-Value Junk is meant for low-value non-usable junk only.

It should not sell:

Field Meds Stim Packs Armor Plates Ammo Boxes

Check your stash before selling. Weapons, rare loot, and dog tags should be handled carefully.

📊 Raid Debrief and Ranking

At the end of a raid, you receive a debrief showing your mission result, rank, merc used, objectives completed, loot extracted, loot value, XP earned, kills, dog tags, rare loot, and lost loot if your merc went KIA.

Ranks may include:

S / A / B / C / F

Extraction, completed objectives, valuable loot, and strong performance can improve your result.

☠️ What Happens If You Die?

If your merc fails to extract or goes KIA, you may lose what they were carrying.

Operation CNTR:E is built around extraction risk. Do not treat every raid like a normal shootout. Sometimes the smart move is to grab what you can and leave.

👥 Playing With a Squad

Operation CNTR:E supports squad deployment.

Before launching, make sure each squad member has a ready merc assigned. Communicate before deployment:

Who has meds? Who watches doors? Who grabs objectives? When does the team extract?

A coordinated squad will survive longer than players rushing alone.

🧠 Beginner Tips

Start with Dockyard Sweep for a straightforward combat-and-loot experience.

Try Viral when you are ready for a tense, infected-heavy raid.

Use armor plates before you are almost dead. Do not waste ammo on enemies you can avoid. Extract early if you have valuable loot.

Higher-tier mercs cost more, but they can make harder raids more survivable.

🚨 Quick Summary

Operation CNTR:E is about risk, loot, survival, and extraction.

Hire a merc. Pick a contract. Recover loot. Complete objectives. Survive the raid. Extract before it all falls apart.

Deploy smart, Envisioners. Get in, get paid, and get out alive.
