Meet Your Maker Guide - IGN (2025)

Meet Your Maker is a dystopian base builder and shooter that takes place after a virus has wiped out most of society. Those left are largely clones of people unaffected by the virus and the Chimera that is meant to be a human-hybrid who will help to rebuild society. There are two parts to the game, building up your outpost made around a burial ground to collect genetic material (or GenMat) and raiding other outposts made by real players to collect the GenMat for yourself. This Meet Your Maker wiki guide will walk through a beginner's guide, outpost building, and all your gear options when raiding and building.

Meet Your Maker was released on April 4, 2023, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, and PC.

Starting a game like Meet Your Maker can be overwhelming at first, even for an avid gamer. There are a lot of levels to keep track of and it can be hard to know where to focus. Our beginner's guide to Meet Your Maker goes over all the lingo you'll need to know in our Gameplay Introduction and gives a run-down of what to expect for the Raids you go on in-game.

This outpost building tips and tricks guide goes over considerations before building, the basics of building, advice on traps and guards, and how to activate and maintain after the initial build.

The higher you can get an outpost in the Prestige level, the longer it will be open and more GenMat will be available from kills on raiders. Here you will find all the information on what the menu will show you, how to earn prestige points, and specifics on actually leveling up the outpost.
