Last Evac

Two ways to survive the end of the cityLeft Behind: an always-on survival world with zombies, safe camps and a stash that stays. Come and go when you like.

Battle Royale: 60 players, a closing zone and one helicopter out. Solo or in a squad of four.

One career: your levels and challenges carry across both modes.Battle Royale: the city is gone, one helicopter is leftRide the evac helicopter in through the clouds, jump whenever you like and parachute into the ruins. Scavenge weapons, armor and medicine, craft what you are missing and stay ahead of the closing zone. 60 players, one way out: be the last one standing and the evac helicopter comes back for you, drops a rope ladder wherever you are and flies you out of the city.

You only see what your character seesWalls block your line of sight, so a building hides whoever is inside it. Doors open, slam and break; drop a barricade shield to hold a doorway. Footsteps, gunshots, creaking doors and crows taking off give positions away, and a thrown noise bottle can send everyone the wrong way. Rain muffles your steps; a thunderclap swallows a gunshot.

Pick a roleEvery role has two abilities: Q on a short cooldown, E the stronger one.

Scout: Pet Crow flies over the walls, shows you what is around it and marks enemies who come close. Keen Ears turns every nearby sound into a ripple where it came from.

Breaker: Scrap Shield stops bullets from the front. Molotov sets the ground on fire to flush players out of cover. Breaks doors twice as fast.

Medic: Quick Wrap heals you over three seconds while you keep moving. Gas Mask keeps the zone from hurting you for a while.

Loot, craft, fight

15 guns, from a pocket pistol to a .50 sniper rifle that only falls from the sky, plus the axe for close quarters

Scopes, extended magazines, suppressors and grips: a suppressed shot isn't heard across the map

Open loot chests, blow up explosive barrels (and whoever is standing next to them), chop down trees with an axe

Helmets and vests in three levels, backpacks to carry more: the bag is limited by weight, not slots

Craft bandages, medkits and tactical items from cloth, chemicals, wood and scrap

Tactical items: smoke grenades nobody can see through, tripwire alarms, barricade shields you drop in one press, noise bottles and painkillers

Twice a match a supply helicopter drops a crate of rare loot under a red smoke flare that everyone can seeSolo or SquadQueue alone or with up to three Steam friends; a smaller party, or a player alone who picks Squad, is filled up to four with other players, then bots. Squadmates share what they see, ping enemies, loot and places with one click, mark landing spots for each other and bring each other back up when one goes down. And when a squadmate is out for good, carry their dog tag to a Crow Cargo box: the crows fly them back into the match.

Every match is differentA new flight path, new loot and a new zone every match. Clear skies, a rain shower or a thunderstorm; morning, midday or evening light, with the street lamps coming on at dusk.

Left Behind: a 24/7 zombie survival worldOne always-on world with no match timer, no closing zone and no winner. Log out where you stand; your bag and your stash are waiting when you come back.

Up to 40 players in one 800x800 world made only for this mode, and the dead walk: walkers, runners, armoured zombies and screamers that call the rest

The further north you go, the harder it gets: quiet villages and forest in the south, towns and a big city centre in the middle, snowy mountains, an airfield and the military base in the north

Headshots drop them. Your shots and your sprinting draw them, and you hear a horde moan before you see it

Two walled safe camps where no weapon fires: your stash, the workbench and a fire with a guitar player

A stash that grows: 400 to start, 600 and 800 with shelves you build. Materials and ammo weigh half in it, and the workbench can use materials straight from it

Hunger, thirst and infection: cook the meat, boil the water, antibiotics push an infected bite back

A full day every hour: at night there are twice as many zombies, far more of them run, and the loot gets better. Your flashlight comes on at nightfall

Recipe books to find, levels up to 30 and a skill tree with five branches (Survival, Combat, Stealth, Crafting, Physical)

Two skill points a level, both paths of a fork open to you, and master points after level 30

Groups of up to four made inside the world, with world, nearby and group chat and voice

Die, and everything you carried stays on your body. Go back for it

Back at a saved spot outside a camp, you take no damage for 10 seconds; moving or acting ends it

Keep coming backOne career across both modes. Earn XP and levels, master each role, finish weekly and daily challenges and compare your XP with your friends on the leaderboards. Your rooftop hideout fills up as your career grows, and when a match is found the evac helicopter lands on your roof to pick you up. Choose your survivor's body, skin, hair and clothes. 15 Steam achievements to unlock.

Left Behind has its own leaderboards: the longest run, the hunter of the week and a rankings board in every camp.

Battle Royale's Peak Hour comes every day at 21:00, and at 15:00 on Saturdays and Sundays too (Istanbul time). The day's first Peak Hour match gives 2× career XP, and bronze, silver and gold emblems wait at 10, 50 and 100 Peak Hours. Bonus weekends rotate through XP, materials and recipe books.

OnlineBattle Royale matchmaking runs on dedicated servers, with bots filling empty seats so a match starts quickly. The Left Behind server is in Europe (Germany) for now, so players further away will see a higher ping. Windows and macOS players play together. Available in 14 languages.
