WELLCOME TO THE
WASTELAND HUNTERS!

You can't be without your trusty SURVIVAL GUIDE to help you

navigate the wasteland outside this bunker, we'd expect it to boost

your chances of survival by at least 0.03%. This guide contains all

the knowledge a high-spirited hunter like yourself needs before it

all gets dashed the second you set out on that train.



See below for tips and tricks - from how to craft weapons and

upgrade your base, to the humans and creatures waiting to take

you down. May luck be on your side, you're gonna need it!

General Tips

I feel silly having to say this, but you’ll be surprised how many lives we’ve lost because
of it. Equip your gun and make sure it’s loaded
Use your downtime to reload, don’t let your move be dictated by some mad adrenaline
rush.
The absolute worst of the seven sins, as it is the number one killer in the world of
ZERO Sievert. Don’t be greedy, settle for small raids at first, and say NO to “just one
more kill/loot/thing”. Some of our experienced hunters should remember this too
I know you like to hoard (who doesn’t?) but using meds beats dying
What is the first thing to do when you are in a new area? Check the extraction points
(what do you mean that’s not the first thing everyone does in a new environment?)!
Same applies in Zakov
What is your best ally in this world? Amm.. Of course I know it is the weapons! But
they are useless without ammo, no? Remember to unload enemy guns too, don’t waste
those goodies
You cannot shoot while sprinting, because that is how you end up with only 4 toes,
don’t ask me how I know that. (You can reload though!)

General Tips

The more you practice, the better you get. After you max out

your skills, you unlock specialisations. The specialisations are

mutually exclusive though,better to be a master of one skill than

an average at a lot of them

Hunting and learning how to survive rewards you with

experience! Be careful what you do as you gain a reputation in

Zakov and this can unlock more opportunities for you or maybe

not

You hear that sound of a plane overhead? Make sure you check

your map! Random supply drops give the best and most

unexpected loot

There are many locked doors in the world, and naturally there

will be rewards you can loot. When faced with a lock, find the

key

Your line of sight is blocked by things that normally block your

line of sight, so if you can’t see it, it can't see you

The enemy of your enemy is your friend, or are they?

Control Tips

Got multiple ammo options to choose from? Press [Y] and

use the mouse wheel to choose one

Not sure if the ground is safe to travel? Or if that crystal is

safe to grab? Why not press [G] to let a bolt test it for you

Want to split a stack in your inventory? When moving an

item by holding [LMB], you can hold [CTRL] and release
[LMB] to then split the stack

Press [T] or [L] to turn on your Torch or Laser attached to

your weapon. (Weapon attachments required

[CTRL] + [LMB] gives you lightning speed to transfer your

inventory items

Fancy checking out your weapon a bit closer? Try [K] for 

a close-up on your held gun!

region maps
Every map in ZERO Sievert is procedurally
generated which means no two raids will
ever be quite the same. What this also
means is that where those boars killed you
last time might kill you in a different place
next time, isn’t that neat! It’s worth noting
though that some aspects of each map are
always guaranteed, for example you’ll always
be able to find the sawmill in the Forest,
even if its location and loot might change
each time.
