New to Nuclear Dawn?
What is Nuclear Dawn?
Nuclear Dawn is a team game on the Source engine that puts a first-person shooter and a real-time strategy game in one match. Two factions, the Empire and the Consortium, fight across war-torn cities. As a soldier you pick one of four classes and push for resource points. One player on each team takes the commander's seat, places structures, researches technology, organises squads and calls in support for the troops below.
Command Your Team.
Build bases, research upgrades and set objectives from above as the commander.
Four Classes.
Assault, Support, Stealth and Exo, each with its own loadouts.
Why rent a server?

A Nuclear Dawn dedicated server keeps your matches online around the clock, so your group can fill both teams and both commander seats without a PC left on at home.

Always Online.
Your server stays up when you log off, so your group can play any time.
Your Group Only.
Set a password to play with just your clan and friends.
