Sound the alarm, Zack the fireman, comes along.
Zack is the second character you’ll have the pleasure to control at the beginning of the game. He's a bit more reserved than Dan, but his skills are invaluable. Check out Zack's talent list:
- Brawling. Zack’s melee attacks use less stamina and cause more damage.
- Decluttering. No one other is faster at getting rid of debris than Zack.
- Searching. He’s able to preview loot consisting of material.
- Endurance. This character is used to hardship. While on the supply run, his stamina will reduce slowly. What’s more, he is immune to any fatigue effects.
- Constructing. Zack is proficient in wood and debris materials. That may become handy when you decide to let him hang around in your base.

Due to a lack of people, the local fire brigade arrived too late to save her. Since then, Zack has fallen into despair and misery. Being quite a big fella, Zack has always been into food. However, the trauma transferred his poor eating habits into those of compulsive devouring.
Two years went by, and he just put on more weight and wasted more time. Then one day, his friend, Matthiew, dropped by, and seeing the poor state of Zack's soul, he wanted to help him. As Matthiew was a psychologist, he convinced Zack to let go of the old ways and showed him a new goal.
Under the influence of his friend, Zack decided to give his life a new meaning. He wished to be helpful to his local community, so he joined the fire brigade to bolster its crew. He wanted to make sure they now had enough people to act rapidly. With the help of Matthiew, Zack started a diet and became a solid member of the gym. His career in the fire department has begun.
