FAQ

Various questions that may not be answered by the above guides, but are still asked often:

• How Can I Increase My Power Level?

  • Your Power Level is calculated based on your F.O.R.T. stats, which come from two sources: Survivor Squads and Research Levels. While Research Levels are time-gated and can only be progressed when you have enough research points, Survivor Squads can be a quick way to readjust your Power Level. The in-game auto fill feature will do a good job for you at the start, but it's best to match the squads manually for optimal results. Refer to the guides above for how to do so.

• How Do I Get More Hero Recruitment Vouchers?

  • You can earn Hero Recruitment Vouchers via reaching level 30 in Ventures. Check out the current Venture Season Rewards here (Please note the ticket names are wrong in the image)

• What Are Ventures?

  • Ventures is seasonal content which allows Commanders to re-experience level and experience progression for great rewards. Read the announcement blog post here. The current Ventures season is called Scurvy Shoals. While geared toward end-game players, it offers content for all levels all the same.
  • The current Ventures season will end June 19 at 8PM ET, unless changed by Epic Games.

• How Can I Find Mimics?

  • Mimics are level 3 chests that aren't actually chests. When searching them, they'll wiggle and make faint sounds.
  • They like to "hide" in a bit more obvious spots than typical chests, as they "want" to be found (i.e they aren't in the tops of houses, but instead out in the open).
  • Outlanders have a perk called "Keen Eyes", which triggers after 5 hits with a pickaxe (i.e harvesting a tree). This perk highlights containers (chests, searchables) that contain valuable objects but it does not highlight mimics, so you can tell if a level 3 chest is a mimic with an outlander if it doesn't sparkle with Keen Eyes.
  • While Dungeons are active (Good news! they're currently active) you can find mimic spawns in each of the dungeons. Here are a few youtube guides: The Crypts The Inferno The Grotto
