Survive Your First Wave

Prepare Before Enemies Arrive

When you spawn in the bunker, take a moment to orient yourself. Check all doors and windows in your immediate area—this is where the first enemies will attempt entry. Identify which rooms connect to your spawn point and note any choke points or narrow corridors. These tight spaces are your advantage: enemies must funnel through them.

Hold Your Position

Stay mobile but purposeful. Don't camp in one room—rotate between 2-3 connected spaces so enemies can't surround you. Keep your back to a wall when possible and watch both entry points. Use the bunker's layout to your advantage by moving through doorways to break line of sight and reset enemy aggression.

Manage Your Resources

Fire deliberately rather than spraying ammunition. Each shot should count, especially early waves when resources are limited. Prioritize enemies closest to you or those nearest to critical entry points. As waves progress, you'll need to decide whether to fall back to a defensible room or push forward to control more territory. The key to surviving early is patience—don't overextend.
