the breach

Trapped in the subterranean Blackwood Facility, 8 survivors—Soldiers (Sarge, Jax / 100 HP), Engineers (Mac, Chloe / 90 HP), Medics (Elena, Samira / 80 HP), and Survivors (Nora, Toby / 100 HP)—have 1 minute to fortify before a Hunter breaks containment. To escape, the team uses their unique skills (researching firearms/shields, placing turrets, healing, and fast scouting) to gather codes and solve a 3-class puzzle. They face one of three lethal Hunters: the Spider Killer (slowing web shots & spider followers), the Phantom Killer (stealth mimicry & wall phasing), or the Puppeteer Killer (razor tripwires & survivor mind control). Solving the final puzzle opens the exit but cuts facility power, granting the Hunter night vision and faster cooldowns. Slain survivors transform into Hunter minions that deal 5 damage and ping survivor locations: Spider Mutants (60 HP / Web Trap), Phase Specters (50 HP / Invisibility Sprint), and Wire-Puppet Thralls (75 HP / Wire Snare).
