BASICS
WASD to move
SHIFT to sprint
CTRL to crouch
F to interact
Q to lean left
E to lean right
V to kick
Left-click to shoot
Right-click to aim down sights
R to reload
Middle-click to rack the gun
Stand still and press SHIFT while aiming down sights to hold your breath and steady your gun.

There are three basic factions. REDs, BLUEs, YELLOWs. They work with their own colors, and shoot everyone else that aren’t their color. There are also special enemies, some of which I will talk about further into the guide.

Enemies have two basic statistics, [HP] and [STAMINA]. [HP] functions as a normal health bar, while emptying their [STAMINA] makes them 'faint'.

Kicks only do [STAMINA] damage. Use it to keep enemies down while you reload.

On the bottom left of your screen is a timer. The higher the number, the harder the game is. I recommend leaving at 4-5 if you’re a new player, or even at 3.

Enemies slowly spawn in as harder variants as the number goes up, with more [HP], [ARMOR], and better weapons. Your weapons will do less damage if you attack their [ARMOR].

There is a damage multiplier for attacking heads, so try hitting headshots!

There are two main currencies, [CASH] and [DATA].
[CASH] is obtained by killing enemies and finishing tasks, while [DATA] can be obtained from floating boxes, [DUCK FRIDGES], and finishing tasks.

[DUCK FRIDGES] give you a lot of [DATA] and some health. They emit a yellow glow around the area. However, enemies usually try to gather around them.



Exit using floating red microwaves. They emit a blue glow around the area. Exit progress only loads when you are in its circle.





THE SPAWNS AREN’T STATIC. THEY USUALLY CHANGE EVERY GAME, BUT THERE ARE FIXED POINTS WHERE THEY CAN SPAWN.
SAVE UP RESOURCES TO BUILD [STAIRS]
In the early game, you should focus on gathering as many resources as possible. Quickly build the first area, the [STAIRS], to unlock tasks and gain access to the [VENDING MACHINE] along with the [TERMINAL].






You won’t be able to use these yet, though. Talk to the nurse at the counter, and choose all tasks.



Tasks don’t reset when you die, so don’t rage too much if you die just as you finish them.

When you complete your tasks, come back to the nurse to press complete. Once the task is stamped, exit and talk to the nurse again to reset that task slot.

To get weapons, you have to finish a task that unlocks a [KEY] and then make your way to the secret area to unlock it. I recommend checking out Tempetus’s guide on it.

DRINK YOUR [DRINK]S
If you finish a task to unlock a new [DRINK], you should be able to buy it from the vending machine on the left with [CASH].



THESE ARE PERMANENT UPGRADES.

This isn’t COD zombies where if you get downed/die they go away, these permanently upgrade your character. I recommend maxing out your max HP (maxed out at lvl 3) to give you a better chance at fighting.
SAVE UP RESOURCES TO BUILD [CUSTOMIZATION STATION]
Ignore these two for now, they’re just [TEST DUMMIES] for damage checking and a [RANGE] that times how fast you can shoot your gun.




This area should show up after you obtain the [BLUE DISK], which is used to unlock the [AR]. Again, please read Tempetus’s guide.

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3377651094




Congratulations, you have unlocked the [CUSTOMIZATION STATION].

However, unlocking it doesn’t mean that you automatically get accessories for your guns – you have to shoot down [GHOSTS], which are enemies with white bags on their heads.

[GHOSTS] usually spawn at higher numbers, starting somewhere around 3, with silenced weapons.

Once you kill them, they have a chance to drop a random [BLUEPRINT] for a part, which you can then buy using [DATA] here.

You have to successfully extract with the [BLUEPRINT] to unlock it. They are considered 'dropped' if you die.
WHAT NEXT
After unlocking this station, you can proceed normally through the game.

Finish your tasks, obtain new weapons, kill [GHOSTS] for [BLUEPRINTS], and drink [DRINKS] to upgrade your character.



That’s all for now, thanks for reading!

@sv_noob 1 new weapons to use.

@paopaofruit20 it spawns randomly on the map, but in certain set locations - so if you become familiar with the map you can check those spots first

does the microwave spawn randomly or do I have to do something to activate it?

What do I get for extracting blue disks again?

@Aristocrafied It has enough content to be played for way longer than 6 hours.

Karmallamah. Yes they can be killed. they are considered a fully armoured opponent and the best way to kill them is to mag dump them with Armour piercing rounds. (I usually use the pistol for armour) and more importantly hit them in the chest. (Don't hit them in the head you do less damage

Ghosts can spawn at level 2, surprisingly enough. Happened to me. They do seem to mostly spawn at 3 and above, however. I almost always hear one when I get to level 3 in apartments, almost instantly, given how much more compact that level is.

Dude, it's a 6 hour game.. Nobody needs to get through it faster.

The funking microwaves I swear spawn randomly per match. And I don't mean randomly across the map I mean some matches just don't have any microwaves spawn. I got up to level 9 and had run through everywhere without finding a single damnable one.
