Plunder — How a round works

How a round works
Step
A round starts when you enter a building guarded by dogs. You move through the rooms grabbing anything valuable until you either fill your bag, run low on health or ammo, or decide you have enough. Then you head for the exit and make it back to the human world to sell what you found.
- Infiltrate sneak into a dog-guarded house or shop.
- Collect pick up valuable items and computer parts and put them in your bag.
- Fight if a dog spots you, decide fast whether to run or shoot.
- Escape leave through the Exit in Zone Zero or the elevator in the dog world.
Getting started
Check
When you first load in, head to Zone Zero or the beginner boxes near the entrance to the dog world to pick up your starting gear. Do not leave until you have all three basics covered. Once you have them, pick one close building and explore only that before pushing further.
- Grab a pistol from Zone Zero or the starter boxes.
- Pick up ammo confirm you have rounds before you move out.
- Take at least one syringe or healing kit for emergencies.
- Choose a single nearby building for your first run, not a deeper or unfamiliar one.
Filling your bag smartly
TipsYour bag has a limited number of slots, and once it is full you cannot pick up anything else. Each item shows a price, so use that number to decide whether it is worth taking.
- Check the price display on each item before picking it up.
- Take computer parts like memory — they sell just like any other loot.
- Bones are sellable too, so grab them if you have room.
- A full bag is not the only reason to head back — low health or low ammo are just as valid.
- Music discs and graphics cards can be used as upgrade materials for the shop, so check how many you need before selling them.
Surviving the dogs
Warn
Some dogs bite and some shoot back, so the way you handle them changes depending on which type you face. In either case, running straight away from a dog rarely ends well — they move faster than you do.
Escaping and selling your loot
Table
The exit looks different depending on where you are. Once you are back in the human world, go straight to the cat's shop. Picking up items during the run does not add a single coin to your wallet on its own.
| Zone Zero exit | look for the 'Exit' sign. |
| Dog world exit | use the dedicated return elevator. |
| Selling location | the cat's shop in the human world after you return. |
| When to head back | bag full, health low, or ammo running short. |
| Before selling | check how many upgrade materials you still need, then sell the rest. |
Spending your money after a run
TipsAfter selling, focus on the one problem that hurt you most in the last run rather than spending on everything at once.
- If your bag fills up too fast, upgrade it so you can carry more items per run.
- If you are taking heavy damage, restock armour and healing items before anything else.
- If fights are taking too long, consider upgrading to a tommy gun or rifle.
- After a death you lose your bag contents and your equipped gear, so return to the starter boxes or the shop to rebuild from scratch.

Common questions
FAQWhy hasn't my money gone up even though I collected a lot of items?
Picking up items during a run does not add money on its own. You have to make it back alive and then sell your loot at the cat's shop in the human world. If you die before reaching the exit, everything in your bag is lost.
What happens when I die?
You lose everything in your bag and all the gear you had equipped. Head back to the beginner boxes or the shop to restock, then start with a short run on a nearby building.
Why can't I open the safe?
Safes need you to complete a full unlocking sequence shown on screen — they do not open like regular boxes.
