No initiation required
Nobody owes you a warning. Ambushes are allowed, and verbal initiation is not required before violence.
Los Santos Was Left Behind.
When civilization pulled back to Paleto Bay, the city to the south was sealed off and forgotten. The towers still stand and the streets still run, but nobody governs it, nobody patrols it, and nobody is coming if things go wrong. Welcome to the LSEZ.
The line
You'll know when you've crossed it.
A few seconds past the line, you'll know you're no longer safe. The smoke hanging over the towers. The empty lanes where traffic used to run. The quiet where sirens used to answer.
The Exclusionary Zone doesn't care who you were up north.
Inside the zone
What changes past the border.
Kill on sight
Shooting on sight and vehicle combat are allowed, with no fear-roleplay requirement. Crossing the border is consent to the risk.
Heavy weapons
Sniper rifles and explosives are fair game inside the zone.
No law, no badge
No murder or kidnapping law is enforced in the zone, and public servants have no official authority past the border. What's in it belongs to whoever can hold it.
Cash is king
Money found in the ruin is untaxed and untraceable, and the black market trades in dirty cash. Getting it home is your problem.
LS Customs
An oasis in the hellscape. Inside LS Customs the county's roleplay rules are back in force: garage and repair your car, restock on essentials, and catch your breath before heading back out.
Lawless in character only. Rules marked "LSEZ: suspended" on the rules page are off inside the zone; everything else still applies, and staff can step in anywhere. Read the rules
What's out there
Why anyone goes south.
Scavenging
Burned-out wrecks choke the streets of Los Santos. Search engine bays, trunks, and interiors for parts, supplies, and cash. Each wreck gives a little, and there are a lot of them.
Rebel strongholds
Armed rebels hold camps and dungeons across the ruin. Clear the guards, crack the containers, and get out before the site restocks and the guards come back.
The black market
Fences and a back-alley doctor deal only in dirty money. The market moves every cycle, so the first job is finding it.
In development
Coming to the zone.
Zone deaths
Die in the LSEZ and you skip the long respawn wait. After a short delay you wake up somewhere in the county, hurt, hungry, and carrying only what your attackers didn't take.
Bounty hunting
With no law in the zone, anyone can take a bounty, including off-duty officers. Bring them back to the county to collect.
National Guard deployments
When a major event breaks out in the zone, any citizen can opt in to deploy. Your real belongings are kept safe while you fight in an issued kit, and you come home to a hospital bed in Paleto when it's over.
Paleto is home. Los Santos is a raid.
Build your life in the county, cross the border when you're ready, and carry the risk home with you. Or never go south at all. The choice is yours.
