About Informant
Informant lets players spend scrap or any item you choose to buy vague intel about rich bases, active groups, lone players and ongoing raids, with three precision levels and built-in anti-abuse rules.
INTEL BROKER · SCRAP SINK · PVP
Sell rumors, not coordinates
Informant adds a shady intel broker to your server. Players spend scrap (or any item you choose) to learn roughly where the loot, the farmers, the lone wanderers and the raids are. The intel is deliberately vague: it creates tension and fights without ever handing out exact positions for free.
Perfect for quiet servers that need more action, and for admins who want a scrap sink players actually enjoy.

Four kinds of intel
Rich base
Points to one of the richest bases on the map, scored on its loot (C4, rockets, weapons, components...) and its setup (level 3 workbench, turrets, electricity, armored walls). Picked at random among the N richest, so it's never always the same base.
Active group
A group of players currently out farming together.
Lone target
A player alone, far from their own base.
Ongoing raid
A spot where explosives were recently used.
Three precision levels
- Low: only the biome: somewhere in the snow
- Medium: a 3x3 grid area around the target
- High: the exact grid square
Each level has its own price multiplier, and you can add a chance of false intel to keep everyone on their toes.
Tension, not abuse
- Never your own people: team, Friends and Clans are always excluded
- No offline raids: bases need an owner online (optional)
- New players protected: for their first hours on the server
- Limited sales: each target can only be sold a few times per hour
- Immune players: admins and the immune permission are never targeted
- No charge for nothing: players only pay if the informant finds something
The target gets a warning
A few seconds after someone buys intel about them: You get the feeling someone has been asking questions about you...
