WHAT IS CARAVAN?

What is a Caravan?

On this server, the Caravan event spawns on a regular basis!
A treasure convoy riding wagons slowly travels along the roads, so raid it and wipe out the escort to make the loot yours. Team up with friends, or go solo for a big payday! As long as your gear is ready, it’s a richly rewarding PvE event where you can rake in loot from the early wipe 💰

HOW TO PLAY

Super easy to play! 5 Steps

No complicated commands at all. Spot the spawn, head to the scene, take them down, and loot. That’s it!

1

Catch the spawn announcement 📢

When a caravan appears, a notification shows up in chat, and a red marker on the map with the spawn grid (e.g. F7) is displayed. Don’t miss the announcement!

2

📍Rush to the scene!

Head toward the marker. The caravan moves slowly along the road, so getting ahead of it to set up an ambush works too. Landing a head-on surprise attack feels great!

3

Attack to halt it 🔫

Shooting the caravan makes it stop on the spot, and the escort retaliates all at once! This is where the real fight begins. If you’re out of range, you’ll get a “Get closer!” warning, so be sure to close the distance.

4

Wipe out the escort 💀

To loot the wagons, you must kill every escort NPC and cavalry unit. If even one is left, it stays locked and you can’t open the cargo. Watch out for snipers on hot air balloons too!

5

Collect the loot! 🎁

Once the caravan is stopped and the escort is wiped out, open each wagon’s storage and grab the spoils! Weapons, food, medical supplies, even locked vaults—the contents are super luxurious 🤑

BATTLE TIPS

Tips to win 🧠

Just knowing a little boosts your survival rate dramatically—here are some field techniques!

🤝

Pincer with teammates

The escort clusters together and fights back. Closing in from front and back makes it way easier. Going solo? Use cover for hit & run!

🎈

Beware balloon snipers

Higher-tier caravans may have escort snipers on hot air balloons. Standing still in the open is dangerous! Make use of cover.

📏

Close in before attacking

By design, no damage lands if you’re too far away. When “Get closer!” appears, step in. But mind the escort’s line of fire.

🏃

The halt is your chance

An attacked caravan stops in place for a while. Clearing out the escort during this window is the key to victory!

RULES & NOTES

Rules to remember 📋

To clear it smoothly, just keep these 3 things in mind!

⚠️ Can’t loot while moving

Storage is locked while the caravan is moving. First attack it to bring it to a halt.

⚠️ Won’t open if escort remains

If even one NPC or cavalry unit is still alive, the cargo stays locked. Total wipe-out is the condition!

✅ Loot drops even if destroyed

Destroying a wagon drops the spoils on the ground. But some loot is lost, so taking it down carefully is recommended!

🔔 When the announcement plays, it’s time to move out!

Don’t miss the chat notification and the red marker on the map.
Gear up and snatch the best loot! Good luck 🚀
