How to rotate items

When you are looting buildings, bodies of zombies and crates you want these items to be in your inventory. Maar, if there isn’t space it will ofcourse not work. This also counts if you want your whole inventory to be perfectly perzonalised and well managed.

You can rotate every single item that has atleast 2 slots minimum by pressing the ‘R’ Knop op uw toetsenbord. From there you can rotate the items to whatever you want.

Items that take ‘1’ slot can’t be rotated.

Items that take ‘2+’ slots can be rotated.

How to have multiple saves

There is only one solution as of right now to have multiple saves. In de toekomst, the developer will add a system for this so think about this as a temporary fix.

• Press WINDOWS + R on your keyboard
• Click on APPDATA
• Click on LOCAL
• Click on SurrounDead
• Copy this ‘Saved’ map
• Paste your ‘Saved’ folder into the place you want it to be saved. You can create a new map on your PC somewhere and name it to something like: “SurrounDead Saves”. Paste your save in there and you are good to go. You can rename the copied ‘Saved’ map to something like “Save 1” of “Save Content Creation” but if you want to play on a certain ‘save’, simply place your “Redden 1 or Save Content Creation” back in there. To fully understand it better and without making mistakes, check the video below of a friend of mine!

Photo mode

To use photo mode you will need to press ‘V’. Press this button when you think you are in the right position. When using the photo mode you’ll see a lot of options to edit your whole ‘screenshot’. I think I do not need to explain all of this as it’s very and very easy to understand and simple to use. Lets say, you’ll understand everything in less than 5 notulen.

Here is how it looks like with the photo mode turned on:

Here is how the screenshots looks like when I pressed the ‘X’ knop:

You are probably wondering where your screenshots are stored when you’ve made amazing shots in the photo mode while playing this game. Laat me je vertellen!

• Press WINDOWS + R on your keyboard
• Click on APPDATA
• Click on LOCAL
• Click on SurrounDead
• Click on Saved
• Click on Screenshots

Types of workbenches

There are currently three workbenches.

• Links – Crafting Bench – To craft the basics
• Midden – Building Station – To craft the building materials
• Rechts – Ammo Bench – To craft ammunition

Locked doors

Sometimes you’ll come across houses and small buildings that have a locked door.

Unfortunately you cannot break down these doors nor come in by a secret way.

You will have to open these doors by using a lockpick. The lockpick can be found everywhere on the world. Huizen, city’s, zombies and bunkers. Sometimes your lockpick can break, so keep that in mind.

SurrounDead issues/crashes

Sometimes you’ll encounter a few problems with games. In dit geval, it’s SurrounDead and I have some possible solutions for you when encountering these kind of things. Think about random crashes, freezes, files missing and related.

  Here is a video that explains everything related:

Where to find the Axe?

You can find the Axe in multiple locations but the best spots you can find them are gasstations hanging on the wall including industrial areas.

There is also an axe at the lighthouse.

Where to find the sledgehammer?

The sledgehammer that is being used to gather scrap can be found at industrial areas. This also counts for houses in the forest and bunkers. Houd er rekening mee, sometimes they are not appearing in the locations you are at. Relogging will fix the issue for now.
