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

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.

Getting Started Controls
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.

Unlock Survivors Unlock checklist
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.

Training guide Best builds
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.

Best squads Squad planner
5

Push maps and 1.0 modes

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

Maps walkthrough Beat Hardcore What 1.0 added
6

Track items, ranks, and official boards

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