Players choose from a roster of Operators, each with unique skills and abilities based on their class. There is an 'insane' amount of weapon customization, allowing players to level up guns, unlock numerous attachments, and 'tune' them for specific stats. Player rank and a seasonal Battle Pass provide further progression and unlocks.

VEIN features a full RPG system where skills (e.g., Construction, Driving, Medical, Lockpicking) improve through repeated action ('practice makes perfect'). The skill cap is currently 100. Players earn perk points to spend on bonuses like increased max health, extra carry capacity, or reduced injury chance. A full list of 20+ skills is available, allowing for specialized builds (Thief gets +15 Lockpicking).

The game features large-scale maps for its 64-player 'Warfare' mode, designed for combined-arms battles across land, sea, and air. The 'Operations' extraction mode also takes place on large maps. The 'Black Hawk Down' campaign consists of eight or so linear, tactical missions set across Somalia.

The Early Access map is a playable area of about 4x4 kilometers, encompassing four towns. The final map size is planned to be expanded to 14x14 kilometers. Key points of interest include maximum security prisons (like Clinton Correctional Facility), military crash sites, power substations, and industrial areas.

• Ground Vehicles: Jeeps, Tanks, APCs
  A variety of armored and unarmored ground vehicles for transport and assault in the 'Warfare' mode.
• Air Vehicles: Helicopters
  Includes transport helicopters like the Black Hawk and smaller, more agile attack helicopters for providing air support.
• Sea Vehicles: Jet Skis, Attack Boats
  Fast-moving watercraft for navigating rivers and coastal areas on certain maps.

• Operator: Playable Character
  Players choose from a roster of Operators, each fitting into one of four classes: Assault, Recon, Engineer, or Support. Each Operator has a unique backstory, appearance, and set of abilities.
• Private Generics: Playable Character (Campaign)
  The player character in the 'Black Hawk Down' campaign, representing an anonymous soldier in the conflict.

• Black Hawk Down
  A cinematic, single-player and 4-player co-op campaign that is a faithful remaster of the original game, retelling the story of the Battle of Mogadishu.
• Warfare
  A large-scale, 64-player PvP mode where two teams fight for control of objectives on a massive map featuring land, sea, and air vehicles.
• Hazard Operations
  A squad-based, tactical extraction shooter where teams compete against other players and AI to complete contracts, secure valuable loot, and escape the map alive.

• Survival Loop
  The main objective is open-ended: Survive the persistent world, manage hunger/thirst/stress, build a base, and progress through the technology tree without dying to zombies or other players.
• Construction and Fortification
  A core gameplay objective to dismantle structures for resources and fortify an existing building using wood, metal, and specialized defenses.

The game is divided into three main modes: 1) Warfare: 64-player large-scale PvP with vehicles. 2) Operations: A squad-based extraction shooter (PvPvE). 3) Black Hawk Down: A tactical single-player and 4-player co-op campaign (co-op currently PC-only).

The core mode is a persistent online PvPvE survival sandbox where players can fight each other (PvP) and the environment/zombies (PvE). Toggles allow for customized experiences, including player-versus-player combat, base raiding, and structure decay.

The core multiplayer experience (Warfare and Operations) is free-to-play. The 'Black Hawk Down' single-player and co-op campaign is a separate, premium purchase. Console players receive exclusive login rewards and Battle Pass boost events at launch.
