Survival Basics

Getting Started

Your first priority is securing shelter before nightfall when zombie hordes become active. Scavenge nearby ruins for clean water, food, and scrap materials to craft basic weapons. Find or build a safe location to defend against the first night.

Manage three survival needs constantly: hunger, thirst, and health. These deplete over time and determine how long you survive. Locate water sources and food supplies among the ruins, or establish a farm behind fortified walls for a sustainable food supply.

As you progress, search for military gear scattered throughout the wasteland to upgrade your weapons. Strengthen your base walls and clear nearby zombie nests to reduce pressure from attacking swarms. The better equipped and fortified you become, the larger hordes you can handle.
