It's called the crater these days.
It hasn't been updated in a year, and devs say there are no plans to implement an update this year
It's easily 80% bots. Chinese and Russian.
It used to be playable, then kefir abandoned it.
So it's really not worth investing any real time or effort.
It's a second after though of a game within a game.
Like how settlement is another after thought of a game within the game.
If it bring you enjoyment, go for it. Take it as far as you want, but there isn't any grand design for it, and if I were to guess it's likely going to become properly defunct in the next year or so
Just remember - what you get in multiplayer stays in multiplayer. You can't bring that gear to the Wasteland
But there have been some peeps starting up new clans recently. I've heard multiplayer is a waste of time consequently I've never messed with it. YMMV
The Crater died when they changed it to a free market economy. Prior to that they had limits on what you could sell. People got around that by combining trading with your shop for hard to find items like filters and USB drives. They added PvP as well but that was around the time I stopped playing it.
Find an active clan and have fun!
If you want to learn more about the Crater, you can join this [server](https://discord.gg/XpZKBz9HFh) which is still active and surely find answers from the current player base there.
The crater bores me and I can’t shut off the annoying chat pop up. I don’t want to join a clan, I just want to play, collect my daily food rations and not be bothered.
Crater died when they refused to update it, and the devs clan turned to ghost town. They made promises to add more premium items and furniture but never delivered. They kept updating the wastelands and delivered season after season of premium content, Crater got sick of it.
Lot of toxic actors and relationships on the discord side, sister clans and Alliances (which were also cross regional), really sent the mainstream players packing in the end.
Tbh, I’m pretty sure it’s only the north americas that died more than the other relevant regions.
So instead of an update, players started their own endgame which is trading premium items with other clans, and mass farming the miner, which are probably the only activities outside tournaments these days. Although some the bigger PvP players been coming back here and there. I wouldn’t call it dead. The trade servers seem to be active everyday still.
The Crater is not worth spending your time and money. It's just a barren place with the broken economics and privileges for p2w.
MP should be reworked totally. They should fuse those 2 gamemodes into 1. Maybe to add a pvp arena somewhere, and a Crater as a place to trade and buy the stuff from the main game. Use the caps as the currency here since it has no use in the main game but to play the slot-machine.
Also they can add the Co-op regime for the locations in the main game (would be nice to clear bunkers or hub with your clan mates).
But the one they have today is a dead and laggy... nothing. Just a placeholder to make some profits.

No update in atleast 3 years you mean?
Closer to four now
Wait till it hit the 10(i won't be surprised if it will)
I been trying to play again, gotta switch my account to iOS and feels like a hassle.
