Activities are cooperative operations completed with other survivors. They may be connected to a location, building, or Faction, and can require participants to fill different roles before the group begins.

How activities work

Each activity defines the roles that need to be filled and any requirements for those roles. Once the required roles are filled and the participants are ready, the leader can start the activity. The group must then complete its rooms and objectives within the time limit.

Activity lifecycle

Starting

The timer begins when the Activity moves from pending to in progress. Its cooldown begins at the same time and applies to the participants assigned at that point.

Completion

On completion, rewards and effects are applied and the cooldown remains active.

Expiry and failure

If time expires, the Activity fails and completion rewards and effects are not applied. The cooldown normally remains unless that Activity specifically resets it on failure.

Leaving

Leaving an in-progress Activity does not cancel your participation. The timer continues, your role remains assigned, and you may return to the Activity.

Cancellation

An Activity can be canceled only while it is pending. Eligible consumed item requirements may be refunded, and its cooldown has not started yet.

Activities

Activity roles, requirements, rewards, effects, time limits, and cooldowns are listed below. Seasonal activities only appear while their event is active.

+== How activities work ==
-The '''Activities''' menu lists pending and in-progress operations that you lead or have joined. It only appears in the main game menu while you have an activity available. Faction leaders can also review active faction operations from the faction area.
+Each activity defines the roles that need to be filled and any requirements for those roles. Once the required roles are filled and the participants are ready, the leader can start the activity. The group must then complete its rooms and objectives within the time limit.
-== Typical flow ==
-# Create or join an available operation.
-# Choose an open role, or accept the role assigned by the leader.
-# Check the requirements and prepare any equipment or supplies.
-# Mark yourself ready when your part is set.
-# The leader starts the activity after the required roles are ready.
-# Work through the activity rooms and objectives with the group.
-When you enter an activity, the normal menu is replaced with a focused activity menu until you leave or finish. Completed and failed operations can be reviewed in your activity logs.
