Alpha test
Alpha rules
← Back to the menuSPOILS is in alpha: we are testing the game, the economy and the servers with real players before the first season. Please read this once — it is short.
In short
- It runs on a test balance. No real money goes in or out.
- Nothing here can be cashed out — only exclusive rewards.
- One item wipe at the end of the alpha (to be announced).
- Your level, cosmetics and Alpha Pass rewards survive the wipe.
A test balance, not real money
- Your market balance in the alpha is test money. You cannot deposit real money and you cannot withdraw any.
- The starter kit and market trades are paid from that test balance, so the economy can be tested the way it will work later.
- CR (credits) is the in-game currency for traders and fees. It never turns into money.
No cash-out, only exclusive rewards
- The alpha has no payouts of any kind. Items, CR and the test balance have no cash value — what you earn are exclusive rewards: Alpha Pass titles, frames, name colours and the Alpha Veteran skin that stay with you forever.
- The game never pays anyone from its own wallet. Everything it takes in is shown on the Economy page.
- Do not buy or sell alpha accounts or items for real money: they will be wiped. See the open numbers on Economy.
One item wipe at the end
- At the end of the alpha we wipe once. Date: to be announced. We announce it at least 7 days ahead in News and in the game menu.
- The wipe removes items (stash, gear, listings), stacks of ammo and meds, CR and the test balance.
- There is only one wipe for the whole alpha. The 45-minute map resets are part of the game and are not wipes.
What you keep after the wipe
- Your account, nickname, level and XP.
- Cosmetics you unlocked: titles, name colours, badge frames and skins.
- Alpha Pass progress and every reward you claimed — including the Alpha Raider title, the Founder badge and the Alpha Top 10 trophy.
Found a bug? Tell us
- Use Report a bug in the Alpha Pass in the game menu. Say what happened, the map number and roughly when (UTC). An accepted report also completes the bug tester task.
- A public bug channel is coming soon; we will link it here.
- We aim to answer every report within a day. If you lose an item because of our bug, we give it back.
- Known issues and fixes are listed in the patch notes.
Fair play
- No cheats, hacks, bots, macros or exploits. If you find an exploit, report it instead of using it.
- One account per person. No second accounts to farm items, CR or Alpha Pass rewards, and no passing loot between your own accounts.
- No arranged kills or trading wins with friends to farm rewards.
- Breaking these rules can get your account banned and its items, CR and rewards rolled back. Every item move is journaled, so we can.
What data we keep
- Your email, nickname and a password hash (never the password itself), a wallet address if you link one, and your raids, kills, extracts and leaderboard stats.
- Every item and currency change, in a journal, so lost items can be returned and cheating can be found.
- Map replays: every map is recorded with each player's position, nickname and account id. Replays are visible only to the team (admins) and are deleted after 14 days.
- Bug reports and survey answers you send. We never sell your data.
