1. Character attributes and parameters

• Strength: Increases maximum HP. Increases your melee damage. It does not affect damage from ranged weapons such as guns or pistols.
• Dexterity: Represents a character's dexterity, and affects the character's ability to evade or block an enemy's attacks. This attribute also increases character movement speed.
• Endurance: Increases maximum HP and armor.
• Perception: Increases aiming and chance for critical damage.
• Intelligence: Increase healing ratio.

• Aiming: It depends on your current weapon and your perception. Each perception point increases your aiming by 1%. Also, certain perception / dexterity skills increase both your overall aiming skill as well as aiming when using ranged / melee weapon.
• Dodge: It depends on your current clothing and armor as well as your dexterity. Each dexterity point increases your dodge by 0.5%.
• HP: Health points. It tells how much damage you can take until your character dies. Each strength point increases it by 1% and each endurance point by 3%.
• Armor: Reduces damage made to your character by enemies. It depends on your equipment and your endurance. Example: If the damage you take is 5 and your armor is 3, then finally your HP is reduced only by 2 points. This can be changed by the armor penetration of the attacking enemy. Read more in 17. Stats & formulas (advanced)
• Movement speed: It can be affected by your equipment, skills and dexterity.
• Heal multiplier: It depends on your intelligence and skills. Each intelligence point increases it by 10%. Example: If you use first aid kit which gives +50 HP and your heal multiplier equals 180%, then you recover 90 HP (50 HP * 180%)
• Critical chance: Chance of critical hit.
• Critical damage: Specific damage during critical hit. It depends on your skills and equipment. Example: If your basic damage equals 10 and you do a critical hit and your critical damage parameter equals 150% then your final damage will be 15.
• Critical resist: Reduces critical damage. It can by increased by your equipment. In above example if we had critical resist parameter equal 30%, then the taken damage would be 12 = (150% - 30%)*10 instead of 15.
• XP: Is needed to level up. XP is obtained from quests, killing enemies and PvP.
• Level: Every level you gain 3 points which can be used to increase character attributes. You receive also 1 skill point which can be used to learn new skills.
• Chips: You can buy things in shops, pay NPCs, use it for player-to-player transactions or for faction buildings.

2. Weapons and armor parameters

• Damage: The amount of damage weapon deals per single hit.
• Armor piercing: The weapons ability to pierce through armor. Generally sharp weapons like axes, swords and spiked weapons have more armor piercing than blunt weapons, like baseball bats, hammers, or shovels.
• Delay: The delay between attacks shown in tens of seconds, so "12" is "1.2 second between every attack".
• Work delay: Applied only to working tools like hammers, pickaxes or axes. Defines the amount of seconds needed to successfully chop one tree log or mine one rock. It also defines the speed at which faction buildings are built.
• Crit. chance: The chance of dealing critical damage to an enemy.
• Crit. damage: Modifier to your critical damage amount. Critical damage deals basically 150% of the standard damage but this can be affected by skills and this weapon modifier.

• Clip size: The amount of bullets stored in the weapon's clip. Defines how many times you can shoot before you need to reload your weapon.
• Reload time: The time needed to reload your weapon displayed in milliseconds (hundreds of seconds), so 250ms = 2.5s.
• Aiming: Weapons modifier to your accuracy while using it. It varies between weapons. Old, rusty firearms are less accurate than clean and calibrated ones. Also weapons with a scope of any kind are more accurate, than weapons with without it, etc.
• Ammo type: The type of ammunition weapon uses. It is displayed as ".0223 bullet pack" or similar.
• Shots fired: The number of bullets fired in a series. Non-automatic weapons like revolvers fire one bullet per shot. Automatic weapons like MP 39 fire multiple bullets per one series.

3. Game screen

Here is an example of a game screen:

• 1. Chat window: Here you can see messages from players near you. Also notifications are displayed here. To start typing, click in any place in chat window.
• 2. Health bar
• 3. Arrow to expand chat.
• 4. Inventory icon - gives you access to your backpack, character parameters, crafting, skills, clan settings, quest log and other windows. It will change to an envelope if someone sends you a message.
• 5. Life condition parameters. To stay alive, don't allow these bars to reach 100%. All of those parameters slowly increase over time or when eating certain objects. Only the Sickness reduces itself over time.

• THIRST - reduced by drinking water or eating juicy fruits
• HUNGER - reduced by eating.
• SICKNESS - reduced by alcohol and certain medicaments and items (best medicine: Antibiotics)
• RADIATION - reduced by drinking clean water and certain medications and items (best medicine: Radflush)


• 6. Dropped items. If you kill a hostile or loot a treasure, the items are displayed on your screen. Click on them to add them to your inventory. If you remove an item from your backpack, you can pick it up again from the screen. After a certain time, items vanish from your screen.
• 7. Button to clear the screen from all dropped items.
• 8. Selected weapon. Single tap to attack or start chopping down tree, mine, etc. Long tap to switch between first and second weapon.
• 9. Ammo counter displaying total amount of ammo for selected weapon that you have in backpack.
• 10. Toolbox. You can use first aid kit and activate skills from here.
• 11. Medical item displayed from you backpack with a quantity.
• 12. Skill on cooldown. Some skills after you use them need to reset before you can use them again.
• 13. Skill available for use.
• 14. Skill toggled ON. Some skills can be toggled ON and OFF as needed.
• 15. The mini map shows friends and foes and also other units. When selected in main menu it also displays joystick (arrows) working in 8 directions.
• 16.The zooming buttons can be used to adjust your screen.
  Maximum zoom out level depends on your equipment (binoculars) and skills.

4. Survival

Postapocalyptic world of Omega Vanitas isn't very hospitable. You need to learn how to survive.

• Healing takes time. Don't wait until last second to heal yourself.
• Contrary to what you may been thinking, food doesn't restore much health. Medicine does.
• Use bandages to heal yourself, early in the game. They can be bought or crafted using Crafting tab in your inventory.




• Bandages require two pieces of ruined cloth or ragged cloth to be made.
• Cloth can be found on trees or by ripping clothes using "scavenge" icon in your backpack.
• All needed medicaments and food can be bought in the city, so take some time and talk to each vendor.
• You need to eat and drink. Your thirst and hunger increases over time.
• If possible, eat cooked food. Meals like sqoyote stew or vegetable soup are less radioactive and poisonous than roasted meat and far less harmful than raw meat (especially bug meat, which you'll have plentiful from the beginning).
• Bake potatoes, because raw ones are highly poisonous. Same goes for bug meat and other raw food.
• POISON - When eating there is always a chance of getting poisoned. When you are poisoned you loose small amount of health for one minute. The more sick you are, the more health you will loose.
• You need to drink water or you will dehydrate. In bigger human settlements there is usually a well providing unlimited amount of dirty water.
• Dirty water will decrease you thirst, but will increase your sickness. If possible use purifying tablets to clean dirty water or buy clean water in shops.
• You get sick and irradiated from eating unprocessed food, drinking contaminated water and other.
• Your sickness level drops on it's own over time, but you can decrease it for example by taking antibiotics or drinking alcohol.
• Radiation level also increases over time, but much slower than thirst and hunger. You can decrease it by drinking clean water or using other items, like for ex. Radflush or vomiter. The last one can be easily crafted on the cooking stations.
• Death comes for everyone, and it comes with a cost. Upon death you will lose 20% of your current Exp. and random amount of items from your backpack. However everything you have equipped, like armor and weapons, will stay.
• If you can't fit anything more into your backpack, or you are just afraid to lose precious items you can store them in a bank, located in every major city.

5. Combat

• To attack an enemy approaching you, you can either click on him and click again on attack icon: or click on your equipped weapon in bottom-left corner of the GUI. (#8 on game screen above)
• When attacking your enemy you always have a chance to hit or miss it. That depends on your aiming parameter, enemy's dodge parameter and when using ranged weapon - also the distance, weapon's aiming modifier and weapon's type. Generally firearms like rifles and handguns are most efficient at long-medium distance and shotguns at medium-short distance.
• You can see your hit chance by clicking on the enemy and then on
• Certain weapons, like automatic weapons, fire multiple bullets at once when shot. Although they are a little less accurate than most non-automatic guns, every bullet has it's own chance to hit or miss the enemy. Due to that, if a gun has 50dmg and shots 8 bullets in a single series, and you have 50% to hit an enemy, every bullet you can deal average of 200dmg in one shot (comparing to one shot in non-automatic weapon).
