Wasteland-Z

# WASTELAND-Z
### The world after the Z.

The world fell apart fast. A viral outbreak turned the cities into
death zones - the military threw up perimeters and sensors, and the
hordes overwhelmed everything anyway. Now the cities stand empty and
the military is gone. But not everything they left behind is useless.
What's left is yours to take and hold.

Wasteland-Z is a survival-and-rebuild overhaul forged over **1,000+
hours** and **3,100+ commits** of blood, sweat, and alcohol. Drop onto
any Game Master map and it activates on top - every system below is
built from the ground up, ours alone, tuned to make a squad feel like
a crew.

Remember A3 Wasteland? The gear-up, the mission rush, the gunfight
over a money crate, the convoy that almost made it to the bank?
That's the blood in this mod's veins. Wasteland-Z is a tribute to the
A3 Wasteland era - built from scratch for Reforger, not a port, not a
fork - and a tip of the hat to Team Wasteland and everyone who kept
those servers alive.

**Loot. Run missions. Bank your money. Survive.**
