The Dead are a fairly well-known group of former soldiers. All members of the group are officially deserters and now only execution awaits them on the mainland. According to rumors, once a large group of deserters, which did not join any other group, decided to found their own group, for the same as them. This is how the "dead" appeared. Armed mainly with their former weapons, which they owned during the service, they buy the same. They have attack and retreat tactics. They have a neutral relationship with mercenaries, as they provide them with a lot of useful information. Due to the friendship of the "dead" with the mercenaries, the former can often be found in the Wild Territory, perhaps there is their base. The group's goals are to take revenge on the Ukrainian Armed Forces and sell as many artifacts as possible through the black market, since only due to artifacts, the "dead" have a chance to get out of the Zone in a roundabout way.
