FAQ

01Is it free?

Yes. You don’t need to spend a dime to play and win. Everything in the game comes from playing it.

02Do I need a wallet?

No. Guests play everything. A wallet only keeps your survivor on the server, so it follows you to any computer, and signing in costs nothing. See Wallet or guest.

03What do I lose if I die?

What you carried on the run: it stays where you fell, and a crewmate can carry it home. Your stash and skill levels at home are safe, and you keep 75% of the XP you earned out there. The free starter kit costs nothing to lose.

04Does it work on a phone or tablet?

Not yet. The game needs a keyboard and a mouse, so play it on any computer. On a phone you can read this site and the field guide, and copy the game's link to open later.

05Is voice on?

Not until you turn it on, from the button beside the menu. Then it's push to talk (hold V) or an open mic, your pick. You can mute or block anyone. See Voice.

06Can I play alone?

Yes: a run alone is a crew of one, on any destination and tier. Jobs pay 2 more reward items when you go alone, and Your first run is written for one.

07Can I take the brute on alone?

You can. Alone it has 700 health; each crewmate adds 250, but brings more than that in firepower. Flank it, make it charge into walls, and keep out of its slam. See the brute.

08I was bitten. What now?

Infection grows by about 6.6 a minute while you're out, and kills at 100. Antibiotics cure it at once: take them on the run from your pack, or at Bea's kitchen at home. Mags stocks them on some runs for 95 scrip.

09What if my connection drops?

Your survivor waits where it was for 90 seconds: reload the page to get back in. After that it's lost out there, with what it carried, and a crewmate can still bring that home.

10What is scrip for?

It's the camp's money: sell what you find to Mags, buy ammunition, medicine and gear from her. It stays in the camp and can never be cashed out. See Mags and scrip, and for the player market that's coming, SCRIP, ZLT and the market.
