Zone Patrol is one of the two main game modes of ADACA. It is an open-world, exploration-focused mode primarily centered around quests. The player character is Sergeant Lexi Abrams of VAKT PMC, tasked with reconnaissance of the Calico Valley Exclusion Zone.

Overview

Unlike the Campaign, which is linear and level-based, Zone Patrol is open-world, taking place on a large area within the Exclusion Zone. It has a high emphasis on exploration, with weapons and equipment being primarily scavenged from the environment.

The player starts in the VAKT Ship, where missions and weapons can be selected. Once ready, the dropship in the hangar will send the player to their selected mission.

World map

The world map is approximately 2 km x 1 km large, and is broken up into several distinct areas, each of which have a general theme to them. Each location is populated by recurring NPC and anomaly spawns. There are a number of secrets in every location, including hidden areas, weapons, artifacts, and more.

Quests

Missions

Special missions may be unlocked up completing certain quests or finding certain locations. Unlike quests, they are self-contained and not directly accessible through the open world. They are selected at the VAKT Ship.

Artifacts

Throughout the environment, the player can find Artifacts hidden in out-of-the-way spots, which can also be obtained from completing quests. These are used as currency for buying weapons and gear from traders, which makes them available permanently in the armoury on the VAKT Ship.
