Getting started on PC
Step
In short
Learning the controls before the first wave saves you from fumbling mid-fight.
Before the zombies arrive, take a moment to get comfortable with the controls. The one key most new players forget is backspace — on PC, that drops an item from your inventory.
- Press backspace on a low-value item so the action feels natural under pressure.
- This is a co-op game, so locate where everyone is standing before zombies arrive.

02
Inventory management during a fight
TipsIn short
A full inventory stops you from picking up better gear, so drop clutter the moment you spot it.
Every item you are carrying costs a slot, and a full inventory means the next weapon drop stays on the ground. If the backspace key feels sluggish or unresponsive, restarting the game often fixes it.
Tips worth knowing
- Drop a weaker weapon the moment you pick up something stronger.
- If a teammate is in danger and you have a spare healing item, pass it to them rather than sitting on it.

Gear from drops
Summary
In short
Everything you need can come from items zombies leave behind.
Zombies drop equipment and items as you defeat them, and collecting these drops is how every player grows stronger over time. Sharing drops with teammates who need them more is an option within the game's design.
- Upgrade method swap older gear for stronger drops as they appear.
- Team advantage sharing drops with teammates keeps the group alive longer.
