The survival guide

Make it to tomorrow

Every journey out is a trade-off.
Every journey home is a victory.

01Survival

Stay alive out there

Hunger, thirst, cold, radiation and infection all want you dead. Eat, drink, dress for the weather and keep your rad count low, or the world finishes the job for you.

  • Five survival stats that push and pull on each other, so every trip out is a trade-off.
  • Weather and time of day change what you need. A warm coat matters more at night than a full canteen.
  • Radiation builds up in hot zones and lingers. Untreated wounds and bites turn into infection.
  • Food spoils, water needs purifying and medicine is scarce. Plan every run around what you can carry home.
  • Hunger
  • Thirst
  • Temperature
  • Radiation
  • Infection
02The corruption

Something is coming through

Corruption zones warp the land and everything in them. Rift events tear open without warning, flooding the area with mutated enemies, and bosses guard the best loot in the game.

  • Zombies roam the open world day and night. Noise and light draw them in.
  • Corruption zones are high risk, high reward areas where mutated enemies hunt in packs.
  • Rift world events break out across the map. Close them fast or watch the corruption spread.
  • Bosses wait at the heart of the worst zones, each with its own attacks and rewards.

03Weapons

Build your arsenal. Keep it running.

Scavenge firearms and melee weapons, then make them yours with attachments and different ammo types. Look after them, too. Worn weapons jam, and a jam at the wrong moment is fatal.

  • Scopes, suppressors, grips, stocks and magazines change how each weapon handles.
  • Ammo types for every job, from cheap scrap rounds to armour piercing and incendiary.
  • Weapons wear with use. Clean and repair them, or risk jams and misfires.
  • Melee weapons for when the ammo runs low. It will.
  • Attachments
  • Ammo types
  • Wear
  • Maintenance
04Craft and build

Scavenge. Craft. Fortify.

Loot the ruins for parts, craft the gear you need to push further, then build a base worth defending. Walls, workbenches, storage and power. Make it home, and make it hold.

  • Loot towns, bunkers and wrecks for materials, components and rare blueprints.
  • Crafting stations unlock better gear, from field dressings to weapon parts.
  • Build with walls, doors, defences, storage and power.
  • Your base is your safe point on the map, until the corruption reaches it.
  • Looting
  • Crafting
  • Base building
05The open world

Roads, jobs and secrets

Fix up vehicles to cross the map faster and haul more home. Take on quests and contracts from the survivors you meet, and hunt down collectables hidden across the Divide.

  • Find, repair and fuel vehicles. Fuel is scarce and engines are loud.
  • Story quests uncover what happened the day the world broke.
  • Contracts from survivor groups pay out in gear, materials and reputation.
  • Collectables, notes and recordings fill in the history of the Divide.

06Co-op

Better together. Best with a dog.

Survive solo or team up with friends in online co-op. Share the load, split the loot and watch each other's backs. Your companion dog sniffs out loot, warns you of danger and fights at your side.

  • Online co-op with friends. Explore, build and fight together.
  • Your companion dog tracks scents and spots enemies before you do.
  • Look after your dog and it will look after you.
  • Online co-op
  • Companion dog
