Surviving as a regular player

- Head for the exit move carefully toward the escape point
Playing as the Hulk
TipsThe Hulk has three main ways to attack: a multi-hit punch combo for close-range pressure, a sprint attack for covering ground quickly, and a thunder clap that hits an area and can expose hidden survivors. Destroying the environment smashes walls and doors, closing off escape routes and forcing survivors into the open.
- Use punch combos to pressure survivors who are cornered or nearby
- Use the sprint attack to close distance on survivors who are making a run for it
- Use the thunder clap to flush out survivors hiding behind cover
- Smash through walls and doors to collapse the routes survivors are counting on
- Use your ability to locate hiding players when you lose track of someone
The Hulkbuster — fighting back as a survivor
WarnSurvivors can unlock the Hulkbuster, a piece of equipment that shifts your role from purely running and hiding to actively pushing back against the Hulk. It gives you heavy punches to knock the Hulk back and repulsor blasts to create distance between you.
