AdvantEDGE

== Lore ==
We only know a few things about AdvantEDGE. It is likely they will play a central role in Tabor's story. Here is what we know and the sources:
* They are a research corporation. (Official Site)
* It's hinted that they may be a villainous actor in the story if it's true they do experimentation on Russian citizens. (Official Site)
* They had a hidden facility which is the location for the Island map. (Official Site)
* The facility is believed to contain advanced technology. (Official Site)
* Contradicting the official site, the AdvantEDGE building was not hidden. It has an advertisement billboard and front lobby suggesting it was accessible or at least visible to the public. The back of the building also has an all glass exterior with seating so employees can look at the scenery while enjoying a break. The contradiction may be resolved if there is a second facility on the island. It's more likely that the lore and the map design were done separately. (Game)
* AdvantEDGE is very public and offers a wide range of goods to the public. Products include NRS, computer terminals, product delivery service, plant seeds, etc. (Game)
* The sealed off areas at the very bottom of the facility and the bottom of the ramp near blood beach give the possibility there is more to the operation than we can see. The facility appears to be an office. There's no scientific equipment, laboratory apparatus, PPE, eye wash stations, etc. that you would find in a medical, industrial, or scientific enterprise. (Game)

In the tutorial video from previous versions, it is revealed that you willingly joined AdvantEDGE as an employee or tester. They provided you with your safe house and transferred money into your account. They mention there are other survivors and that you may join up with them or kill them in the field. At the end of the video, there is a video segment that appears to be produced at a different time than the official tutorial video. In it, you are given a cryptic warning and the phrase "nuclear night" is mentioned before the video abruptly ends as something supernatural or unnatural occurs in the background. Several of their facilities have been shown on the GOT Twitter page.
This video differs and possibly contradicts other sources of lore. That may be why it was removed from the game. The factions are not mentioned at all. There is no mention of war or biological experimentation. The cliffhanger at the end of the video implies the current setting is before an existential or apocalyptic event.
