About

Overview

Build & Survive DISASTERS drops up to 12 players into a building arena where floods, storms, and meteors hit before you are ready. Each round you survive earns cash you can spend on stronger blocks, so your base gets better over time. This guide walks you through your first steps, how to build smart, and how to reach the harder goals like surviving a round with four or five disasters at once.

01

First things to do when you load in

Step
In short Finishing the tutorial and placing your first block sets you up for everything else.

When you first join, the game walks you through a tutorial. Finishing it earns a badge and makes sure you understand the basic controls before disasters start hitting. After that, jump into a real round and get a block down — the sooner you start building, the sooner you learn what works.

  1. Start the tutorial follow the on-screen prompts as soon as you load in.
  2. Place a block set down at least one block to unlock the First Block badge and get a feel for the building controls.
  3. Survive your first disaster stay inside or on top of your structure until the disaster passes.
  4. Complete a task finishing your first task earns the Task Grinder badge and gives you a goal beyond just surviving.

Building a base that actually holds up

Tips
In short Thinking about which direction each disaster hits from makes a big difference in how long your base lasts.

Every disaster type attacks from a different angle. Meteors and storms come from above, so a roof is not optional. Floods rise from the ground, so height matters. On top of that, other players can knock you off your build, so a closed, solid structure protects you from more than just the weather.

Tips worth knowing
  • Always add a roof — meteors and storms deal damage from above, and an open-top base will not protect you.
  • Build your walls all the way around — four closed sides block the pressure floods push from the sides.
  • Build with destruction in mind — other players can break your structure.
03

Earning and spending cash

Summary
In short Surviving rounds is the only way to earn cash, and cash is the only way to get stronger blocks.

Cash is awarded automatically at the end of every round you survive. You spend it in the shop to unlock stronger block types, which then become available for your next build. The loop is straightforward: survive more, earn more, build better.

  • Cash source survive a round and cash is added to your total automatically.
  • Spending cash open the shop and unlock stronger blocks with what you have saved.
  • Payoff stronger blocks make your base more resistant, which helps you survive tougher rounds and earn even more cash.
04

Surviving a round with four or five disasters

Check
In short A fully enclosed, high base built from strong blocks gives you the best shot at the Chaos Survivor badge.

Some rounds stack four or five disasters at the same time. That is what it takes to earn the Chaos Survivor badge, and it is the hardest challenge the game puts in front of you. When that many disasters overlap, every gap in your base becomes a problem, so run through this list before the disasters begin.

  • Roof is in place and has no holes.
  • All four walls are closed with no open sections.
  • Base is built high enough that a flood will not reach your floor.
  • You are using the strongest blocks you have unlocked so far.

Warn
In short Codes expire and can only be used once, so enter any code you find right away.

The game distributes redeem codes that give in-game rewards. Find the code entry screen in the game's menu, type the code exactly as written, and confirm it. The reward is added automatically if the code is still valid.

Worth watching out for
Codes expire an old code will no longer work, so do not sit on one you find.
One use per code most codes can only be redeemed once, so enter it the first chance you get.
