A decision checklist for looting, healing, ammunition, traps, positioning, morale, and retreating safely.

CONTENT STATUSSource checked

01

Win the day before the night begins

Use the supply phase to gather medicine, rations, ammunition, and tools before the storm closes the route.

  • Call the return early
  • Share scarce medicine
  • Do not turn every scavenger into a mandatory fight

02

Defend one plan, not five solo plans

Assign a stable firing lane, a fallback point, and one person to call retreats before the wave reaches the safe zone.

  • Preserve ammunition early
  • Control the choke
  • Recover only when the lane is safe

03

Stop morale and injuries from snowballing

A single loss can reduce the whole squad's ability to aim, move, and survive the next wave.

  • Treat fractures and bleeding
  • Avoid staggered deaths
  • Reset positioning after a rescue
