ROUTE FILE / OBJECTIVES
Maps & Objectives Guide
How to read an objective run when the official game loop is about movement, scarce resources, infection, and extraction.

Read the map as a team problem
The official site describes multiple diverse maps and emphasizes communication, strategy, and scarce resources. Move with a shared plan: where the objective is, what the squad needs, and what route keeps a retreat possible.

Raven Rock is a concrete Objective example
The Armageddon launch material identifies Raven Rock as the sixth Objective map, set around an underground military installation in southern Pennsylvania. Its preview describes a different flow from earlier locations and places Responders outside a bunker while they investigate what happened to the emergency-operations personnel. The image gives orientation, but it does not establish every objective order or extraction position.
That distinction matters for every map on the site. A screenshot can show the kind of space the team is entering, while the current mission prompt determines what the squad must do next. Read the image as context, then keep the objective, supplies, infection status, and retreat route in the live mission rather than following a static path.
Complete the objective before chasing every room
Exploration can find useful supplies, but the mission still needs a clear purpose. Keep one player or voice channel focused on the current objective while the team decides whether a detour is worth the exposure.
Keep an extraction plan alive
Extraction is the point at which the run becomes progress. Before committing to a noisy or dangerous area, make sure the squad knows how it will regroup and leave if the situation deteriorates.
A repeatable route check
- Identify the current objective and the next safe regroup point.
- Share infection and resource information before moving.
- Choose the shortest route that still gives the squad options.
- Leave together after the objective instead of turning the exit into a second mission.
The public materials do not establish a universal route or fixed map coordinates, so this page avoids fabricating routes and waypoints.
