Dust & Dead

Ride into a blocky frontier where a lone cowboy, roaming dead, and upgrade-heavy gunplay collide in the dust.

Dust & Dead Field Manual

A Hunter's Guide

The whole frontier, explained plainly: what to do, what to upgrade, and where every reward goes.

Your one-sentence objective

Outrun the horde. Outbuild the night.

Clear waves, collect XP, choose stronger cards, and survive for as long as the frontier lets you.

Lasts for this hunt

Cards mean exactly what they say. Pick the answer to the danger you have now.

First Hunt

Your first minute

Press Start Hunt. You begin with a revolver, a clear objective, and no build to memorize.

Keep moving

The dead win when they surround you. Circle open ground, leave yourself an escape lane, and never stare at one target for too long.

Collect what drops

Walk over XP orbs to level up. Take ammo crates before your reserve is empty; each crate adds reserve ammo for every weapon you currently own.

Read, then choose

Most levels offer three cards. Mobility and survival help when crowded; damage, ammo, and reload speed help when you already have room.

Every fifth wave is a boss hunt, starting at wave 5. Watch the warning text and boss HUD—each encounter has its own rhythm.

Between Hunts

Where permanent progress lives

Run cards disappear when the hunt ends. Dust, Contracts, unlocks, and your Wardrobe stay.

Earned from play

Dust

Kills, cleared waves, and bosses bank Dust. Spend it in Unlocks on classes and new cards for future runs.

Tracked automatically

Contracts

Long-term feats fill as you play. Each completed Contract adds one permanent Mark; Marks are milestones and are never spent.

Open Unlocks from the main menu

Classes: Spend Dust to add new level 5 choices.
Mastery: See each default path and the Arsenal Contract that opens its second path.
Cards: Buy upgrades that can enter future drafts. Purchases affect the next hunt.
Marked Deck: After buying 10 cards, mark exactly 5 favorites. Eligible marked cards roll at twice the normal weight, never as a guarantee.

Wardrobe

Outfits and hats are cosmetic. They unlock from Contract Mark milestones or boss Contracts, and one is sold for Dust; simply apply the look you want.

Local Multiplayer

Fight zombies and rival cowboys in a nearby 2–4 player PvP match. Zombie and player kills earn points; the last survivor wins once they also hold the lead. Upgrade choices do not pause the fight.

Online Multiplayer

Use automatic matchmaking for a server-hosted 2–4 player match. Leave the search code empty for public play, or share one code to meet only players using it.

The best first habit: keep moving, collect your XP, and reload before the boss banner appears.
