FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is death permanent?
Yes — your Responder can permanently die, ending that character's run and costing their equipment.
What is the best team size?
The game is designed for 8-player squads; smaller groups should stay even more tightly packed.
Can I play it like a solo shooter?
Technically yes, but infection and permadeath make solo runs extremely punishing — squad play is the intended experience.
Details
The full picture
Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.
Infection is the real timer
Getting hit risks infection; infected Responders are a danger to the whole squad, not just themselves.
Carry and ration medical supplies — antiseptics beat healing items when infection is on the table.
If you are infected, tell the squad immediately and let a teammate watch your six during the cure animation.
Ammo and supply discipline
Ammo is scarce — every shot counts. Melee when the horde is thin to save rounds for emergencies.
Radio/callouts are vital: splitting up to loot is fine, but always keep a fallback point.
Scavenge systematically — skip already-cleared buildings so you do not burn ammo twice on the same run.
Squad roles and permadeath
With 8 players, split loose roles: point (front), rearguard, medic and scavenger work better than 8 people all doing the same thing.
Permadeath means your Responder's gear and progress are gone — do not be the hero on a random run; retreat is a valid tactic.
On large maps, stay in sight of at least one teammate; the horde punishes solo wanderers (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-08-25).
