You walk around and do quests in what is called the "combat zone"
The combat zone is being fought over by two new gangs: the Bozos (violent clown psychopaths with a sick sense of humor) and a gang called Slaughterhouse (violent psychopath fascists). Walking around the combat zone feels very inspired by the game STALKER.
