Survivors and squads

Who to start, who to unlock, and which trio actually holds.

Maps and modes

Dawn, desert worms, swamp pressure, terminals, and the Bio Lab ring.

Tools and official links

Checklists, a squad picker, and the boards the studio actually uses.

Quick start

A short path from first run to a stable meta loop.

  1. 1

    Learn the auto-fire loop

    Move, dodge, and let the squad shoot. The first hour is about surviving Isolated City until dawn, not about perfect aiming.

  2. 2

    Unlock a second and third survivor

    Rescue teammates during a run and complete the Huntress, Ghost, and Medic milestones so later maps have a real squad.

  3. 3

    Spend Training Points, then refund freely

    Role Player, movement, and weapon damage come first. Reset the tree whenever a map or mode asks for a different shape.

  4. 4

    Lock a three-person composition

    SWAT plus Engineer plus Tank still clears most Default and Hardcore routes. Compare it against crit and ice squads before you grind ranks.

  5. 5

    Push maps and 1.0 modes

    Dawn unlocks the next map. Hardcore, Endurance, Boss Rush, and Bio Lab each punish a different weakness.

  6. 6

    Track items, ranks, and official boards

    Achievements still gate items. Ranks double leader perks. The studio Trello remains the cleanest public roadmap.
