Alpha · Update 2437 live
Every wall
is a door
A five-versus-five tactical shooter fought inside buildings that come apart. Reinforce a wall and it holds. Bring the right charge and it does not. Then take the same buildings into Outbreak and hold them against the horde.
Latest news
All updates →Updates ship as showcases, not as a commit feed — one write-up every few hundred builds, or sooner when something big is fixed.
Your name is your own
Agent IDs land: your name is yours alone, and the identifier your account signs in with no longer travels to other players.
Seven maps out of the vault
Bank, Harvest, Markethouse, Meridian, Obsidian, Presshouse and Sundown return to rotation — rebuilt, re-measured, and this time you can actually reach the cellar.
The map standard
A map now has to prove every room is reachable before it ships. Eight were held back for failing it — on purpose, and we said so.
Two ways to play
Attack and defend
Five attackers, five defenders, one building. Search & Destroy and Secure Area over a best-of-nine series in Competitive, best-of-seven in Casual. Nineteen operators, each with one signature tool nobody else on the team may carry.
Hold the line, round after round
Round-survival with a points economy on the walls. Board the windows, buy the guns off them, find the power, and get the Forge running before the round the horde stops being walkers.
Next season
Full roadmap →Outbreak becomes its own game
Its own front end, its own currency and shop, its own barracks and ranking ladder — and a survivor roster whose perks come out of who those people were before the outbreak. Emblems, calling cards and dog tags stay shared across both modes.
Also in the year plan
The roadmap is written in quarters, and it says plainly which items are shipped, which are being built, and which are still an idea.
- The rest of the vault rebuilt and returned to rotation
- Weapon progression gated on levelling the previous gun in its class
- A full audio pass — real transients instead of tones
- Player-chosen interface colour and three colour-blind modes
- Career stats you can look up, on terms that keep players private
