Stop and raid houses for supplies

Press on to the city

Emerging on the other side of the deserted village you spot smoke up in the hills. It could be folks in need of rescue from the cold. It could also be a hostile gang. What’s the call?

Radio in what you see, then move out toward the city and your mission.

Call out to them, make your presence known, then hide and wait to see who comes.

Check it out, best to gather intel

Ignore it, stay focused on the task at hand. There's no time to waste.

You hear a twig snap, then a moan. Runners! Shit, there are at least five of them heading your way and they've got the attention of whoever's campfire you saw smoking before. They're also closing in on your position and don't sound very friendly. What's the call?

Radio in to the camp, report, and ask them for the best course of action.

Infected and bandits at the same time? Run! Forget stealth, you've got to move quickly to stay alive.

Cause a distraction and send the runners toward the people -- let them fight it out while you move on.

Stealth your way out of there, calmly, and don't engage. The runners haven't seen you and neither have the people.

As it happens, moving out of danger has forced you toward the now-deserted campfire. Luckily, the bandits are now occupied. But there's someone else here. It's a young man, he's beaten up pretty good and looks weak. What do you do?

Take the poor guy with you, he needs your help and you have to means to fix him up.

Leave him. He'll only slow you down and you don't have resources to waste.

Untie him, bandage his wounds, give him your flare gun and tell him to hide. Radio your camp and let them know to watch out for his signal.

Patch him up, give him supplies, and tell him where your camp is.

Finally, back on the road. You've put some distance between yourself and the chaos behind, but now it really is getting late. What's the call?

Find somewhere secure and make camp for the night. It's too dangerous to travel in the dark.

Press on, get to the city at all costs. Your people need the fuel and there's no time to waste.

7 of 10

The next day you arrive at the city. It looks like a war zone. Abandoned vehicles litter the roads, buildings are falling apart. It's tough terrain to cross. You spot a subway station, and three stops down is exactly where you need to go. What's the call?

Subway? No thanks. There's probably infected down there, and we don't even know if the tracks are clear.

You can handle the infected if they're down there. Walking the subway tracks will save you hours of time and keep you hidden from any spying eyes in the city.

8 of 10

You made it to the petrol station, but the tanks were empty. Luckily, you found a note pointing you to a nearby truck loaded with fuel to siphon, but you'll need to cross a river to get there. There's one piece of essential equipment on the ground, which is it?

A satchel containing weapons, ammunition, medical supplies, and two brand new radios.

A larger fuel container than the one you brought.

A long hose.

A rope.

9 of 10

You've got the fuel and you're heading out of the city via a different route than when you arrived. It's a shortcut, but between you and safety is a suburb full of Clickers and Shamblers. What's the correct strategy?

Create a distraction and then make a run for it.

Take them on aggressively. You don't fear the infected and you have plenty of ammunition.

Take them on stealthily. There's too many to handle and both types of infected won't attack if you're quiet.

Turn around and retrace your steps. It's going to lose you a LOT of time, but it's safe.

10 of 10

You're nearly back home, just hours away from returning with the precious fuel. As you walk along a river bank you spot two packages floating quickly toward you. Their supply caches used by FEDRA! This could be the ultimate bonus pack for you and your camp, but you'll only be able to scoop one. What do you do?

Take the one with the red cross. Those are valuable medical supplies the camp could use during the upcoming winter.

You recognize one as a weapons cache. There are likely military grade firearms and explosives inside.

You leave them. This wasn't the mission.
