Base Raids & Sieges

The late game comes for your base, not just for you. Screamers bring worse things, demons go for your power, Juggernauts break walls, and blood moons stop coming from one direction.

How it works

  1. SCREAMERS CALL SPECIALS: from game stage 30 a screamer's scream can be answered by special infected (25% of screams at game stage 30, 40% at 60, 55% from 100). One special rises near the screamer (two, half the time, from game stage 150), at most twice per screamer. You get a warning: "The scream was answered." Counter: kill screamers on sight, before they scream, and keep your heat down.
  2. DEMONS GO FOR YOUR POWER: a Rift demon with nobody close by heads for the nearest generator, solar bank, battery bank, turret or blade trap within 40 m and tears at it. Brutes (Gorebull, Cairn Brute, Bile Glutton) hit hardest. Everyone within 90 m is warned that something is tearing at your power. Counter: stay close, armor your power (put it behind walls), and keep a camera or a turret on it.
  3. JUGGERNAUTS BREACH WALLS: a Juggernaut held up by a wall between it and you roars and slams the wall: a patch 3 blocks wide, 3 high and 2 deep takes heavy damage, and it does it again every few seconds while it is stuck. Wood goes in one slam, concrete in about two, steel in about four. Counter: kill it before it reaches the wall, shoot the plates off first, and build walls two or more blocks thick.
  4. BLOOD MOON SIEGES: from day 50 the horde comes from two sides at once, three from day 80 and four from day 110 (vanilla sends a whole wave from one direction). When a wave starts you are told where the fronts are. Counter: a base that only faces one way will not hold; cover every side or build a killing floor in the middle.
