Combat and crafting
Condition, repairs and U1–U6 decisions
Weapon progression persists on the individual item. Keep Weapon Parts, condition and ammunition confidence tied to the next objective—not an unverified damage chart.

Shared survival
Coordinate pings, progress and run risk
Quests and faction claims can remain personal while world kill totals and high-risk travel require coordination. Optional Permadeath changes the whole group's stakes.

Infestations and Season Rewards
Developer posts describe world-event markers, shared reward chests and zombie-kill milestones. Exact current rewards remain unverified until launch evidence changes.

Field desk answers
Frequently asked questions
Visible answers match the homepage FAQ structured data.
Is Not Quite Dead released yet?
No. On August 28, 2026, official Steam still showed the game as not yet available with a planned September 1 Early Access release. The site does not infer release from the date.
What should a new player do first?
Follow the developer-described route from the first Axe and Backpack through the Trader, vehicle, weapon, Gas Mask and Small Bunker, then explore freely.
Are faction rewards listed?
The cumulative Token thresholds are verified. Exact current launch reward items are shown as Not verified yet until a fresh official source confirms them.
Does the wiki publish map coordinates or game formulas?
No. Coordinates, stats, recipes, drop rates, spawn points and fuel formulas stay unpublished unless they can be freshly verified from appropriate evidence.
