First-match priorities

Treat the first match as a survival exercise, not a speedrun. The official store positioning centers cooperation, infection risk, and surviving together, so your first goal is to preserve the team.

  • Move with at least one teammate instead of splitting early.
  • Spend ammo on threats that block the group, not on every distant target.
  • Call out health, infection pressure, and useful supplies before moving on.
  1. Complete the Tutorial first

    Armageddon 1.0 adds a guided Tutorial covering melee, ranged combat, objective trials, and inventory management.

  2. Use Solo Mode for low-risk practice

    The official update describes Solo Mode as a place to learn maps, objectives, combat, and builds without traditional progression or permadeath risk.

  3. Take the learning plan into co-op

    Use a co-op match to practise communication and shared-resource decisions that Solo Mode cannot reproduce.

Pick the right mode

Steam presents Survival Mode and Scenario Mode as the two core modes. Choose Survival when you want the verified speaker-and-wave loop; use Scenario Mode when you want structured objectives and are ready to learn a current-build route.

What is still being verified

Exact spawn tables, best routes, and optimal weapon picks need repeatable playtesting across the launch build.

Frequently asked questions

Should a new player start with a route guide?

Not until that route has current-build screenshots and repeatable verification. Start with the Tutorial, Solo Mode, and the mode overview pages instead.

Does this page list cure locations or weapon rankings?

No. Those claims remain outside the publishable scope until the current build has evidence.
