Greetings, Survivors!
During the Steam Next Fest, we have seen a lot of questions about other survivors. Are we going to meet them out there in the world? is there going to be an army out there? Are we going to fight against other humans? The short answer is - yes, you will.
Migrants
It is difficult to predict what may happen to a person in a post-apocalyptic scenario. People can form groups and communities or try to live alone. Build zones and establish hierarchies or prey on the weak.
During gameplay, we will encounter survivors hoping to join our Zone. Early into the game, so-called Migrants are going to be our main source of new citizens.
Raiders
Not only the infected will be a problem during our expansion, but also other, hostile survivors.
From the technical perspective, raiders are very similar to our own squads. While infected are going to fight us in the melee range, other survivors can use pistols, rifles, and other weapons.
Few important things to remember:
- Unknown survivor groups out in the world will have yellow icons. Mind you, those very same groups can turn red and hostile in a blink of an eye. Always proceed with caution.
- While player-based squads can consist of up to 4 survivors, this limit doesn't exist for groups of raiders. Those bandits will sometimes form bigger groups visible under one icon.
- Hordes can be spotted mainly during the night. It's the opposite for Raiders, with whom we are going to fight mainly during the day.
- Groups of raiders can leave some loot behind them, making them not only a danger but also valuable prey.
- Spotting a group of raiders out in the wild might suggest that there is a bandit hideout nearby. Take your strongest squads and pillage the place in order to obtain the resources.
It might be also important to notice that hordes of infected and the raiders are not allied in any way. So there's a huge chance that you will encounter those two groups fighting against each other at some point. Feel free to use it to your advantage.
