The horde scales with the squad
Every wave is multiplied by the number of players. Four players face four times the zombies, so everyone gets as many kills and points as when playing alone.

Good to know
How co-op works
Your points are your own
Each player earns and spends their own points. Power-ups such as Double Points, Max Ammo, Nuke and Blood Money pay out to the whole squad.
Revive your teammates
A player at zero health goes down and can be picked up by a teammate. Second Chance Soda makes you revive twice as fast, and a Medic with the Revive Pulse skill picks up everyone inside the Field Kit at once.
Dropped out? Rejoin
If your connection drops or you close the tab by accident, open the game again and rejoin the same match.
Fair for everyone
Every match runs on the server, not on a player's machine. Nobody in the squad can cheat points, kills or the leaderboard.
Any device, same squad
Dead Raid runs in the browser on PCs, phones and tablets, so a squad can mix them. Phones and tablets get touch controls.
Better together
Squad roles
The 4 classes are made to cover for each other. Any mix works, but this is what each one adds to a squad.
- Medic, Field Kit. Drops a healing beacon for the whole squad and can slip past the horde to reach a downed teammate.
- Tank, Bulwark. Pulls every zombie within ten metres onto himself and shrugs off most of the damage while the others shoot.
- Gunner, Overdrive. Twenty seconds of endless ammo and extra damage, for the moment the room fills up.
- Engineer, Mines + Sentry. Mines in the doorway and an automatic sentry turret that holds a second entrance on its own.
A common squad of four is one of each: the Tank holds the doorway, the Engineer locks a second entrance with mines and a sentry, the Gunner clears the room and the Medic keeps all three standing. Read more in the class guide.

Questions
Co-op FAQ
Can I play Dead Raid with friends?
Yes. Host a squad, share the room code or invite friends from your friends list, and raid together with up to four players.
How many players can play Dead Raid together?
One to four. You can play solo, as a pair, or as a squad of three or four.
Do my friends need to download anything?
No. Dead Raid is a browser game. Everyone opens deadraid.com and plays in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari.
Is Dead Raid co-op free?
Yes. Solo and co-op are both free to play.
Can PC and phone players play together?
Yes. The game runs in the browser on every device and all players use the same servers, so a squad can mix PC, phone and tablet players.
Is the game harder with more players?
There are more zombies: each wave is multiplied by the number of players. Each zombie is no tougher, and a squad has revives, shared power-ups and class abilities that cover each other, so most squads get further together than alone.
What happens if I disconnect during a match?
You can rejoin. Open the game again and it offers to put you back into the same match.
