How to play

One round
- Lobby.You spawn at Camp Lapis. The community wiki says the map vote lasts about 30 seconds. I have not confirmed that timer in an official post.
- Roles.One player becomes the Beast. Survivors get a 15-second head start while the Beast picks a power in the Beast Cave. The camera is first person for the Beast and third person for Survivors.
- Computers.Finish survivors + 1 computers, based on players who load into the round: 3 players need 3 of 4 spawned computers, 4 need 4 of 5, and 5 need 5 of 6. Each finished computer pays 6 credits and 50 XP to Survivors who are there when it completes.
- Doors.Two exits unlock after the quota is complete; they do not open automatically. Pulling a door takes 12 seconds. Once open, it stays open.
- Pods.A hit ragdolls you for about 28 seconds. The Beast ropes you into a freeze pod. A pod holds one captured Survivor at a time; that is not a claim that the pod can only ever be used once. Another Survivor has to free you.

Questions
How many computers?
Survivors plus one. A full lobby is 4 survivors, so 5 computers to finish, with 6 spawned computers. A 3-player round needs 3 of 4 spawned computers; a 4-player round needs 4 of 5. These are round counts, not the number of possible map spawn locations.
Can I save myself?
No. Another Survivor presses the interact key. The wiki lists 20 credits and 100 XP for the first save in a round.
What if the timer ends?
The wiki gives a 15-minute timer. Its Levels page says an active, uncaptured Survivor can still receive escape rewards if the exits are powered when the timer runs out. Do not assume every timeout has one fixed reduced payout.
