What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We’ve played tons of permadeath survival and tactical shooter games like DayZ as well as tactical shooters like the original Rainbow Six games, Insurgency and of course one of our favorites - Escape From Tarkov.

In shaping our vision for this game, our goal was to redefine the extraction shooter genre, pushing the firearm realism, customization, and the raw, adrenaline-fueled intensity of combat in every raid.

We recognized from the outset that achieving this tactical gameplay was only possible by forging it with you, our dedicated community, ensuring the end product is something you're eager to dive into, battle after battle.

This commitment to collaborative development is why we're rolling out the game in Early Access. It's your ticket to join us in the trenches from day one, influencing the game's evolution with every feedback round and every firefight.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan on staying in Early Access for the period between 12 to 24 months. We will extend Early Access period if needed for us to deliver the best 1.0 version of the game possibly.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We're planning on adding more meta game features such as skills system, expanded social hub functionalities including personal hideout, Clans, Factions gameplay, Boss Hunts, seasons, new maps, weapons and character's tactical and cosmetic gear.

These planned features are just the beginning. We're dedicated to continually evolving the game, ensuring that your experience is always fresh, engaging, and deeply rewarding. Stay tuned for more updates.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Explore the complete spectrum of gameplay mechanics, gear, and weaponry across a specially crafted map tailored for players to immerse themselves in the foundational elements of the game and share your feedback with the development team.

Following content will be available at start of the Early Access :

  • Custom designed for the Early access medium size map suitable for 5-20 players set in fictional town of Ozersk-3.

  • Hundreds of character cosmetics and customization items are available for you to try.

  • Several dozen weapons will be available at Early Access launch. Try hundreds of attachments and dozens of paint patterns to create a gun tuned to your tactical needs and playstyle.

  • Create a team of your friends or AI mercenaries and take on a world or decide to play as a Marauders faction character without risking losing your gear.

  • Explore dynamic world that changes from expedition to expedition - new loot locations, different apartment buildings configurations.

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“To ensure our game meets the high standards of realism, strategy, and immersion that our community expects, we're implementing a dynamic feedback loop through active engagement on our Discord server. This platform will serve as the command center for community-driven development, where every voice matters.

Here's how we plan to involve you:

  • Continuous Feedback: Share your experiences, from the adrenaline of a close-quarters battle to the satisfaction of a perfectly executed strategy. Your insights on gameplay mechanics, weapon handling, and overall game balance are invaluable.

  • Direct Dialogue with the Developers: Our team will be active participants in Discord server, not just observers. This direct line to the game's creators ensures your suggestions, concerns, and accolades are heard and considered in the development process.

  • Community Polls and Surveys: Have a say in key decisions through polls and surveys. Your collective choices will guide us in prioritizing features, content updates, and more.

Our Discord server isn't just a community hub; it's the foundation of a game built by and for the hardcore extraction shooter enthusiast. Together, we'll craft an unparalleled experience that resonates with the depth, complexity, and realism you crave.”

About This Game

PROJECT L33T: FOUNDERS EDITION

As a private contractor and member of the elite L.3.3.T. team, you will deploy into a persistent open world set in the fictional region of Ozersk — a hostile Zone filled with valuable artifacts, equipment, intelligence, and other players hunting for the same prize. 

Every expedition is a gamble. Bring your gear, push deeper, secure what you can, and extract alive to the safe zone. Die in the Zone, and everything you carried is gone. Return to the same server, fight your way back, and you may still recover what you lost — unless someone else gets there first.

Purchase of the Project L33T Founders Edition gives you the following perks:

  • Ghost Edition of the full game. 

  • Early Access to public and test servers of the game.



PLAY PVE OR PVP SERVER - YOUR CHOICE

Your path is yours to choose. Deploy solo or squad up with other players, then enter either PvE or PvP. Each mode has its own unique character and progression.

PERSISTENT OPEN WORLD 

Game offers a persistent open-world environment where everything you need to survive and prosper can be found in the world — from gear and weapons to consumables such as food and medicine.

Unlike session-based extraction shooters, the best items are not simply waiting for you at traders in the safe zone. To find the most valuable gear, you will need to explore, take risks, and loot deep inside the Zone.

When you exit the game, your expedition does not simply reset. The next time you launch the game, you will return to the world near the point where you left off. To get back to the safe zone, social hub, or your hideout, you will need to locate an extraction area on the map and make it out alive.

SAFE ZONE & PERSONAL HIDEOUT

This is your safe zone — a shared social space where you can meet other players, trade, prepare for your next expedition, and return after surviving the OZERSK Zone.

It also includes your personal hideout, a private space you will need to progress. Upgrade crafting stations, unlock new functionality, and improve your character over time.

Some hideout upgrades unlock new skills, enhance existing abilities, or improve your character’s stats, giving you more ways to survive, fight, craft, and prosper in the world of OZERSK.

 

GEAR UP

Indulge in a comprehensive and versatile character customization system that allows you to tailor your character's appearance to your liking. From hairstyles and skin shades to tattoos and face paints, along with a diverse selection of individual clothing and gear elements, you can ensure your character looks their best for any mission.

Personalize your tactical vests and plate carriers by adding vanity patches. Just like in real life, carefully insert armor plates into your carrier, which can be fully replaced with spares after intense firefights.

GUNSMITH

Prepare to experience the realistic handling of each weapon, including concepts like jamming, overheating, wear and tear, reloading, aiming, charging, and of course, shooting. And do not forget real-life ballistics and projectile hit physics.

Explore one of the most advanced weapons modding systems to date. Customize every crucial component of your firearm, from charging handles to trigger groups to handguards and buttstocks and barrels, down to the finest details.

Additionally, we've introduced the ability to custom-paint any part of your weapon with various patterns and colors. Moreover, you now have the flexibility to position attachments anywhere along rails, allowing for greater freedom and customization.

TEAM UP

Never fight alone! Team up with your friends and create a squad, ensuring you never venture into expeditions solo.
We understand the challenge faced by many survival shooters – without friends to play with, facing other players grouped together can be daunting.

To address this, we've invested significant effort in implementing "Mercs for Hire" – AI teammates available for recruitment. These AI companions behave realistically, following your orders and providing support. Not only will they assist you against other players, but they also enhance your experience, catering to those who prefer a single-player PvE-focused approach in PvEvP shooters.

ENGAGE

Experience your character's RPG-like health and physical characteristics, including hydration, energy levels, blood loss, fractures, contusions, intoxication, exhaustion, tremors, and more.

Take full control of your character with smooth speed and stance changes, as well as fluid transitions between movements like leaning and proning. Vault and climb over obstacles and use ropes to climb tall buildings, use help of other players to conquer higher barriers. Execute various tactical maneuvers such as sliding while shooting.

Discover training manuals scattered throughout the world to learn new skills and master the art of takedowns.

LOOT

Each expedition is unique. Explore a dynamic game map where loot continually spawns in new locations and buildings have varying layouts for apartments.

Photosensitivity Warning
