Survivor Level
How the survivor level system works.
How levels increase
Everything you do as a survivor in the current season feeds it, including:
- Killing zombies
- Crafting
- Gaining skill levels
- Surviving the days
Sprinters, mutants, the special DOTD Undead and Bosses are worth more than an ordinary zombie, and crafting counts up to a daily limit. See more about special zombies on the Zones page.
DOTD Levels in the user panel (the Client button on the sidebar) shows your level, your experience and how far you are into the next level.
Season rewards
As your Survivor Level climbs, you unlock special rewards along the way.
How to claim
- Link your Discord to your character with /link in #🤖 #saul-bot-commands on the Dawn of the Dead Discord.
- Reach a milestone and press the Level Rewards button in #🎁｜season-rewards.
- You get your own reward link, bound only to your character. Every reward is a redeem code made just for you.
Visibility
Your survivor level shows next to your name on the world map and the minimap by default. The Lv button on the map hides or shows the levels.
Other players' levels show beside their names when they are near you.
Level types
You can choose between four level types, and everyone near you sees the one you pick:
- Skill Bar, the default
- Tally
- Scrap
- Stripes
Below level 11 everyone has the plain box. From level 11 your box takes the look of your type, and it earns a new look every 10 levels up to level 100.
To choose yours:
- Click the Client button on the sidebar.
- Click DOTD Levels in the user panel.
- Pick your favourite under Your box.
On death
When you character dies, your level is NOT reset.
Your level belongs to your Steam account, not your character, so it keeps growing across deaths. It goes up to level 100, and each level takes more experience than the one before.
