Survival Tips

  1. Use Light Strategically - Your flashlight is essential but attracts Lightseekers. Turn it off in open combat.
  2. Move Carefully - Echofiends hunt sound. Coordinate with teammates silently when possible.
  3. Avoid the Glow - Phosphor Beetle dye marks you as an easy target. Stay clean.
  4. Watch Your Feet - Check overhead before walking through thick jungle (Canopy Stranglers).
  5. Team Up - Coordinate extraction zone entry so multiple people arrive together.
  6. Medical Supplies - You have limited morphine and bruise packs. Use them wisely.
  7. Ammunition - You start with only 3 magazines total. Make your shots count.

Winning Strategy

  1. Coordinate a team push toward the extraction zone after grace period ends
  2. Cover fire and watch for creatures while team members enter the zone
  3. Keep 30+ seconds of continuous presence without leaving the zone
  4. Escape successfully. Celebration optional but recommended
