Deadside

Deadside: a practical hardcore survival shooter guide

Deadside is a hardcore survival shooter built around looting compounds while others hunt the same drop. This briefing stays on session planning so you can make clearer in-match decisions. It is written for this title only.

How Deadside actually plays

Treat air-drops as third-party magnets. Listen before you sprint into town.

In Deadside, session planning usually matters before raw aim. Pick a job for the next two minutes: gather, watch, or leave.

Habits that survive a bad spawn

Split meds and never stash a full kit in one crate.

After the game updates

Confirm the live build before you contest a drop.

If you only keep one Deadside rule from this page: confirm the live build, then play one intentional session before you stack high-risk kits.
