| Skills & Progression | |
| Progression is based on unlocking and mastering the game's 75+ unique operators. Each operator has a signature gadget and a specific loadout of weapons. There are no skill trees; progression is about expanding your tactical options by unlocking more operators with in-game currency ('Renown') and improving your personal skill and map knowledge. |
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). |
| public World & Exploration | |
| World & Level Design | |
| The game features a large pool of compact, intricate maps designed for close-quarters tactical combat. With the Siege X update, five classic maps (Bank, Clubhouse, Border, Chalet, Kafe) have received a full visual and fidelity overhaul, with more planned for future seasons. A new, much larger map called 'District' was introduced exclusively for the 'Dual Front' game mode. |
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. |

| Multiplayer Details | |
| The primary mode is the 5v5 single-elimination 'Bomb' mode. Other classic modes like Hostage and Secure Area are available. The major new addition is 'Dual Front,' a permanent 6v6 mode with respawns and simultaneous attack/defense objectives on the game's largest map. |
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. |
| extension Editions & DLC | |
| Available Editions | |
| The core game is free-to-play with access to most modes and a rotating roster of 26 operators. The Elite Edition ($19.99) unlocks Ranked mode and 16 additional operators. The Ultimate Edition ($39.99) provides instant access to all 52 additional operators and exclusive cosmetic items. All progress from previous versions of Siege carries over. |
The game is available as a single standard edition ($19.99 USD) with a temporary 10% introductory discount. The price is planned to increase as the game progresses through its five-year Early Access development cycle. |
| Post-Launch Content / DLC | |
| Siege X follows a seasonal live-service model. Every season introduces a new Battle Pass with branching paths, new operators, map reworks, and major balance changes. The first season, 'Operation Daybreak,' included a rework for the operator Clash. |
The game is planned for approximately five years of development in Early Access. Key planned features include the addition of NPCs, raiders, full settlements, trading systems, and continued expansion of the map to 14x14 kilometers. |
