❤ Exploration and Scavenging

Players can explore a vast, procedurally-generated open world with diverse biomes, from deserts and forests to snowy tundras. Scattered throughout the environments are numerous unique point-of-interest locations, such as abandoned buildings, small towns, mines, and military camps. Scavenging these areas rewards players with a wide variety of resources, weapons, tools, and other valuable loot. The loot system provides a sense of progression, as higher quality items become available over time. To traverse the world more efficiently, players can find and operate vehicles like bicycles, motorcycles, and gyrocopters.

❤ Crafting and Building

Crafting is a deep and integral gameplay mechanic. Players can use over 500 different recipes to create and repair a vast array of items, from basic tools and weapons to complex traps, gadgets, and fortifications. Constructing secure bases and defensive structures is crucial for surviving the nightly zombie horde attacks. The fully destructible environments and structural integrity mechanics add depth and challenge to the building system, as players must carefully design their fortifications to withstand the relentless onslaught of the undead.

❤ Survival and Combat

Sustaining oneself in the harsh post-apocalyptic world requires managing resources like food, water, and health. Players must hunt, gather, and farm to meet their survival needs. The game's deep survival system features numerous buffs, boosts, and ailments that impact gameplay in both beneficial and detrimental ways. Combat is a core aspect, with players facing off against nearly 60 unique zombie types, each with their own distinct behaviors and attacks. Firearms, melee weapons, and a variety of traps are essential tools in the fight for survival.
