Where to start

Three guides cover a new account from the first hour to the first month. Read them in order.

Daily routine

  1. Collect resources and claim daily rewards.
  2. Start the longest build and research you can before you log off.
  3. Clear Explorer Trail stages and the daily Intel missions.
  4. Help alliance members and donate to alliance tech.
  5. Kill infected on the map for hero experience and resources.

Events and spending

Events rotate weekly and reward exactly the things you do anyway: building, research, training and killing infected. Time your big upgrades to land during the matching event. If you spend money, the growth fund and the monthly card give far more than random packs.

FAQ

Is State of Survival pay to win?

Spending speeds you up, but alliance activity, event timing and focused hero upgrades carry free players a long way.
