Your first steps into the Wasteland will be the most
\ndangerous, but we\u2019re here to help. Read on!<\/p>\n

An Introduction to Wasteland<\/strong><\/p>\n

The year is 2087. Almost one hundred years have passed since
\na devastating nuclear event blanketed the Earth in radiation. All that remains
\nnow are the scattered dregs of society, trying to survive however they can.
\nSome semblance of society persists, but it\u2019s not as it was. <\/p>\n

In Wasteland Remastered<\/a><\/em><\/strong> you\u2019ll direct the actions of the Desert Rangers, a squad of peacekeepers sent to investigate a series of disturbances that have been affecting the camps and townships in the vicinity of your base of operations in what was the Southwestern United States.<\/p>\n

\"Wasteland<\/figure>\n

The original Wasteland<\/em> was released in 1988 to critical acclaim and stands as one of the most respected forebears of the RPG genre. Choice and consequence are the keystones of this experience. Innocuous decisions in your conversations will come to bear in significant ways throughout your travels. What characters you choose to accompany you, how you equip your team, and how you engage with the characters and creatures in the world, will all influence your overall chances of survival. <\/p>\n

We won\u2019t sugar-coat it: Wasteland<\/em> was made to be as punishing as life in the post-apocalypse would be. Thankfully, the in-game manual (Y button on the controller or by pressing H on your keyboard when viewing a character pane) will help illuminate the game mechanics and provide some insight about the more nuanced details of the gameplay.<\/p>\n

This guide will be your key to survival, we heartily suggest that you put it to good use.<\/p>\n

The Adventure Begins<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you first set out from Ranger Center, you\u2019re afforded a
\nsquad of capable Rangers who have the attributes and skills that will offer you
\na chance at success in your campaign. That said, these Rangers have no special
\nabilities or extreme skills that set them apart from anyone else you might come
\nacross in your travels. At this point, the decision to continue with this
\npremade team, or to trade them out in favor of your own custom squad will be a
\ndetermining factor in how difficult this unforgiving world will be.<\/p>\n

If a premade Ranger is dismissed, you can recruit a fresh
\ncharacter, whose base stats can be re-rolled. If you\u2019ve opted to create your
\nown custom character, we encourage you to continue to roll the stats to see how
\nthey can be distributed into the different categories.<\/p>\n

Each character is primarily defined by the attributes noted
\nbelow, but how your characters are equipped and how you use each character will
\nultimately determine how well they perform. The breakdown of each character
\nattribute is as follows:<\/p>\n
