Getting started in the facility
Step
When you first load in, resist the urge to rush. The facility is divided into multiple areas, and knowing the layout before zombies become a problem makes every future decision easier. Take a slow lap, note the exits, and locate recovery items while everything is calm.
- Learn the layout walk the whole facility and find where each area connects to the next.
- Pick up items early grab anything you find during this first pass and hold it for later.
- Mark safe rooms note any spots that are hard for enemies to reach, so you can head there fast when you need to.

Handling a zombie encounter
TipsWhen a zombie gets close, cutting around corners and ducking into rooms is more effective than sprinting in a straight line. Patience inside a hiding spot is a real tactic here.
- Break line of sight by turning corners or slipping into a side room rather than running in a straight line.
- Once you are hidden, stay put and wait for the threat to move on before you leave.
- Keep quiet — making noise can give away your position.
- Getting infected has a serious impact on how the game plays out, so staying out of reach matters.
