Trident Survival on Roblox remains one of the most intense, high-stakes player-versus-player (PvP) survival games on the platform. Heavily inspired by hardcore PC survival games like Rust, it drops players into a brutal world where resource management, base building, and precise aim dictate who survives and who loses everything. Because the game features a steep learning curve and unforgiving mechanics, the search for a competitive edge led to the massive popularity of exploit scripts, particularly during the game's V2 era in late 2021.

The primary goal of these scripts was to automate tedious survival mechanics and provide unfair tactical advantages during player-versus-player (PvP) encounters. Key Features of 2021 V2 Scripts

The economic script operated on a tiered loot system. The code utilized table constructors to manage item rarity (Common to Military/Blueprints). In 2021, the meta shifted towards high-value river and military crate looting. The script logic for these containers used a pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) to determine drops, a system that was quickly reverse-engineered by the community to optimize "loot runs."

This paper provides a technical examination of the game design, Lua scripting architecture, and economic infrastructure of Trident Survival v2 , a prominent user-generated title on the Roblox platform during 2021. By analyzing the "script"—the underlying codebase and game logic—we explore how the developers balanced survival mechanics with the "broken" physics that defined the game's popularity. Furthermore, this paper investigates the proliferation of third-party scripts and exploits that emerged around the title, analyzing how they influenced the game's lifecycle and community interaction.
