Since the outbreak, survivors have been heading south. The heat here is brutal — but it slows the infected down, which makes them far less dangerous than up north.
There's said to be a military base not far from here. If anyone can still get us out, it's them — we just have to reach it.
Chapter 01 — The Signal
An old radio station still stands somewhere out there. Use your radio detector to find it, repair it, and send out a call for help.
It won't be easy: the parts you need are scattered across the map. Find them, fix the radio, and rescue is one call away.

Dig sitesChapter 02 — Weapons & the World
Rifles, shotguns, or an axe — use what you find and make every shot count. Ammo is always short.
Loot cars and buildings for supplies — but stay sharp, some still have zombies inside. You can also dig almost anywhere: switch to search mode and break ground to find materials hidden underground.
Chapter 03 — The Night
After dark
When the sun goes down, the horde attacks. Each night brings more zombies than the last — and some nights a boss shows up: bigger, tougher, and much harder to kill.
Stay hydrated
Thirst is as dangerous as the zombies. Below 10% hydration you slow down; at 0% you can barely move and start losing health. Keep your water up and always carry a few water rations.

Chapter 04 — Build & Ride
Turn scrap into defenses before dark — wood and stone walls, a watch tower for high ground, and turrets to guard the perimeter. A generator boosts them all.
The Quad
A quad lets you cover ground fast — but first you'll need to repair it and fill the tank with fuel.
