🌊 The Golden Rules of Auto-Skip

Vote YES only when barricades are fully placed on the main stairwell entry, at least one turret is operational behind cover, and the entire squad has upgraded to shotguns.

Vote NO (Hold) if any teammate is still placing barricades, buying gear, or if your squad is recovering from a defensive position wipe. Sticking to handgun farming is highly recommended on early waves.

📈 Hardcore Mode Credit Nerf (May 8 Update)

The May 8, 2026 Mini Content Update by lead developer Santito nerfed Hardcore Mode earnings from 10.0 to 7.5 Credits per kill.

This nerf makes sequencing your Credit purchases highly critical: Handgun $\rightarrow$ Shotgun upgrade first, A-Tier Class unlock (Medic/Marksman) second, Health Upgrade third, and then stockpile toward Legendary anchors.
