- Get a job take on work to start earning money in the game.
- Spend your earnings use the money you make to buy and customize vehicles or decorate a house.
- Check announcements the game posts news about upcoming updates and events there.
Weapon locations for PvP
CheckPvP is a core part of The Colony, and the strongest weapons are not handed to you — you have to find them. Each of the three locations below is inside or behind a building, so you will need to actually enter or go around them rather than just pass by.
- The abandoned house search inside for premium weapons including an AK47 and a rifle.
- The police station weapons are placed here as well.
- Behind the bank a weapon is hidden around the back of this building.
Rules that can get you banned
Warn
The developers enforce the rules strictly. If you witness someone breaking the rules, record a clip as evidence before reporting, since that is what the developers ask for.
Badges and hidden content
TipsThe Colony has a range of badges tied to hidden objects and time-limited events. Some badges are no longer obtainable, but plenty are still active. Seasonal events like Día de Muertos and the Mexican Independence Day celebration have each come with their own missions and rewards, so check the game's announcements whenever a holiday is approaching.
- Look for hidden objects scattered around the city — finding them earns you badges.
- A hidden Halloween obby exists in the game; completing it sends a special reward to your inventory.
- The Día de Muertos 2022 mission and the 2023 Independence Day mission are examples of seasonal content that came with unique badges.
- Some badges from past events can no longer be earned.
- The badge for finding AMLO's head shows that some collectibles are easy to walk past.
