WEEKLY HIGHLIGHT #01

Welcome to the first of our weekly highlight posts. Our plan is to release a new highlight each week covering areas of maps, mechanics and even the Sanguivores themselves.

Let's get to this week's highlight…


For our first post, we have decided to cover the new electrical substation, available in the upcoming Section 3, known as: “The Town”.

The town covers a large area for players to navigate. Importantly, most areas require players to re-enable the power in order to progress. This is where the substation comes in.



With multiple ways to get to the substation, finding quick passageways to the heart of the landmark is key.

But be aware that the Sanguivore has left the comfort of indoor environments and ventured outside into the cold to search for the sweet notes of human blood.



Players will have to navigate around a small maze of metal and wire, to locate switches, slowly bringing the power back up to the correct outage value.

Getting The Town’s power back online will open up various escape plans to execute. One example is the Market, which will only open when the power has been restored.

Head to the main hub at the substation to check that all switches are in the correct position and you have not underpowered or overpowered the system.




Tucked in to Electrical Station and the wider map are some handy new hiding places. It is always worth keeping tabs on the nearest place to hide in case it’s needed in a hurry.

The portaloo will be found across various industrial locations, of which there are plenty to be found in Section 3 - The Town. Worth checking if it is vacant ahead of time, of course.



Additionally, two new crate hiding places have been added. You can either crawl inside boxes on their side, or vault into bigger crates with the lids on top.



Incidentally, just a friendly tip to all survivors - the Sanguivore may check hiding places if they think you’ve snuck inside. The chances of having your hiding place searched is much lower if there are lots of hiding places nearby to choose from - so pick wisely. If there is only one place to hide, it might be better to keep running lest the Sanguivore finds you.


We will be continuing to discuss various Sanguivore related topics in the coming weeks. We would especially like to talk over some community suggestions. If you have an idea for a topic to be discussed, please let us know in the comments below!
