Kaltenbrück
A small town with a regional airport, an army base above the Helix Labs and Station Mitte below the market square. Plus forests, fields and a river. Beyond the exits lies a minefield.

Extraction Shooter · Closed Alpha

Stay quiet. They hear everything.
DEAD QUIET is an extraction shooter set in a small German town after the outbreak: loot Kaltenbrück, keep the infected at bay and get your loot out – before other operators get you.
The Game
A pathogen from the Helix Labs has wiped out Kaltenbrück. Whoever is still alive heads into the exclusion zone for loot. DEAD QUIET combines the harshness of an extraction shooter with hordes of infected that react to every sound. And with other players who want exactly what you want.




Extraction
Every raid starts with what you bring. Die, and you lose your gear. Make it to an exit, and you keep everything. Between raids you trade with the quartermaster, take on contracts and rebuild your weapons in the gunsmith.
Locations
From the streets and fields around Kaltenbrück to deep underground. Every map has its own exits, its own dangers and its own infected.

A small town with a regional airport, an army base above the Helix Labs and Station Mitte below the market square. Plus forests, fields and a river. Beyond the exits lies a minefield.

The underground lab where it all began. An atrium with a sample tank, containment cells, a data centre. Blackouts and lockdown alarms.

An abandoned two-level subway station with dark tunnels. Between minute 10 and 14 a train pulls in. It's loud, but it's also a ticket out.

Almost a square kilometre of restricted area with a small town, an army post, a river, fields, forest and a motorway. Big enough to never meet anyone.

Infected
They don't see well, but they hear everything. Learn whom you can take out silently, whom you should run from, and whom you'd better not wake at all.
Slow alone, deadly in groups. Follows every sound until it finds the source.
Weak, but faster than you. Running from it is a losing game.
Hears you first, then screams. Everything nearby knows where you are. Take it out first.
A mountain of flesh. Takes a run-up and flattens you. One magazine is rarely enough.
Swollen and full of pathogen. If it bursts next to you, your infection spikes.
Lies in the dark among the dead and waits. Watch your step.
Former Helix Labs staff. The suit soaks up body shots, but they carry valuable samples.
They don't come back.
The infected don't respawn during a raid. Everyone you take down stays down. But whoever dies of the infection gets back up.

Arsenal
From oil-filter suppressors to 8× scopes. Every weapon has working iron sights, its own magazines and attachments you buy from traders or find in raids. Without maintenance, weapons and suppressors wear out.
New in the alpha
G36A1
The German army's assault rifle, faithfully recreated: 5.56 mm, semi-auto, 2-round burst and full auto. Aim through the built-in 3× scope in the carry handle or switch to the red dot on top with one click. Rare, and not sold by traders.
