Survivor Creation
Each player can have five different survivors to play as. When creating a survivor, you have to
- Specify a name
- Pick a character model
- There is more than one character model to choose from.
- It will be possible in the future to use experience points to unlock new models.
- Choose from one of two modes: Hardcore or Normal.
- This decision is permanent and affects whether or not the survivor can be revived (as opposed to permanent death).
The first time a survivor spawns, they spawn with a flashlight, a can of soda, a granola bar, and 1x bandages, in small backpack. If revived and re-spawned, a Normal survivor will only spawn with an empty, small backpack. Survivor stats can be seen on the survivor select menu (fig. 1) and include number of zombies killed, time survived, along with many other useful and otherwise entertaining numbers.
[edit] Alpha Survivor Creation
There were 5 character models to choose from. Below are the names of the characters (left-right on character menu):
- Ex Military (Male)
- Ex Cage Fighter (Male)
- Hunter (Female)
- Rebel without a cause (Male)
- Average Joe (Male)
Each character has a variation of clothing they can wear. (Usually around 4 options for each portion of the body).
[edit] Beta Survivor Creation
There are 8 characters to choose from. Below are the names of the characters (left-right on character menu):
- Ex Military (Male)
- Ex Cage Fighter (Male)
- Hunter (Female)
- Mechanic (Female)
- Rebel without a cause (Male)
- Average Joe (Male)
- Rockin' Rollah (Female)
- Paramedic (Male)
Each character has a variation of clothing they can wear. (Usually around 4 options for each portion of the body). Make sure to take that into consideration when picking your survivor. You don't want a highly visible shirt or pair of pants when you are trying to be sneaky.
