Survivor Field Briefing & FAQ
Essential operational knowledge for surviving in THE DEAD WE KNEW: Open World Survival.
How many players can join a co-op multiplayer session?
THE DEAD WE KNEW: Open World Survival supports up to 4 players in online cooperative multiplayer. One player acts as host while up to 3 squadmates join via Steam invites or server IP connection.
What happens during a dense fog event?
Fog dramatically impairs player visibility and triggers heightened zombie aggression. Infected can detect player movements from further away and attack from the shadows. Retreating to a fortified shelter with a lit fire is strongly recommended.
How do you prevent starvation in the early game?
Search abandoned structures for canned goods, hunt wild deer in the forest with bows or spears to cook meat over a campfire, and prepare garden plots to cultivate tomato crops for sustainable soup production.
Are there human enemies in the world?
Yes. Beyond zombie hordes, players must contend with armed, hostile human scavenger factions guarding abandoned outposts and valuable resource caches.
What PC specs are required to run THE DEAD WE KNEW comfortably?
Minimum requirements specify a 64-bit OS, 12 GB RAM, NVIDIA GTX 1070 GPU, and 20 GB storage. For smooth 60 FPS in dense fog at 1080p/1440p, 24 GB RAM and an NVIDIA RTX 2080 or better are recommended.
