Why Search For Survivors
Finding Survivors is something that will certainly help as you progress through the game. They can be used as perks essentially or for instance, if you unlock a defender, they can be used to help defend your fort.
Once you have teams of Survivors established, you will have passive bonuses to your characters’ Core Stats. The various types being matched can also increase the overall bonus from the team.
Where To Find Survivors
There’s a number of ways to find Survivors but all will require a careful eye as you scan your nearby areas.
Map Icons
When you reach nearby areas such as Radar buildings, you may find some Survivors appear on your in-game mini map. These Survivors will be highlighted in blue and look like a human body. From there, you simply have to head towards their location and look for the targeted Survivor.
Living Area Clues
Another way to spot a Survivor is by looking at the décor in the area. If you find shelves full of supplies and cans then there very well could be a Survivor nearby. They could even be hidden in secret rooms so you might have to smash through a wall to locate them.
Listen Closely
Survivors will not be quiet during your journey. Listen closely to hear for any far off screams for help while exploring. This may actually be a bit more difficult for some gamers who decide to party up with friends and chat while playing through the game.
A decent tip that can be implemented is turning on subtitles so you will notice when you’re close enough to hear the Survivor, a text line will pop up alerting players of a nearby Survivor.
