Idle Outpost features two primary game modes: Fight and Trade. Success requires balancing your combat power with your trading profits to conquer the wasteland.

Trade Game Mode: Building Your Empire

Trade mode is where you begin with a basic outpost in the desert, then upgrade and expand as you earn resources and profits. As you progress, discover new locations, from abandoned gas stations to underground vaults, and build the world's most prosperous post-apocalyptic trading network! 

Fight Game Mode: Surviving the Horde

Fight mode is your primary way to progress through the story and unlock new content.

Currency & Upgrades

Gems and Tickets are vital for your long-term growth.

• Earning Gems: Collect gems through quests, the Wheel of Fortune, and daily rewards.
• Spending Gems:

- The Safe: Upgrade permanent buffs for Speed, Offline earnings, and Scavenger.

- Chests: Purchase these in the store to find Trade gear.

• Tickets: Use these to acquire Tactical Equipment or Pets.

Trade to unlock new areas, then use the gear found in Fight mode to protect your outposts and read the story.
