A dark industrial aesthetic. Lots of concrete, metal, pipes, grating, and utility partitions. The lighting is dim: mostly emergency lights, flashing indicators, and occasional spotlights—often leaving part of the room in deep shadow.
Dense buildings and narrow corridors. The space is designed to heighten the feeling of claustrophobia: tight passages, blind turns, rooms you have to enter one at a time. This is also a mechanic: the infected are especially dangerous in tight spaces.
Zones of varying danger. There are relatively safe spots (like the starting area/lobby), intermediate corridors with patrols, and "hot" areas—laboratories, reactor bays, and warehouses—where powerful enemies and bosses are more common.
Key areas of the complex
Lobby/Starting Area. The squad's gathering point before heading out on a mission. Here, players gear up, choose a class, and check their equipment. The area is considered relatively safe—infected players are not allowed there.
Sector 1 (laboratory blocks and technical corridors). The first active zones: analysis rooms, quarantine boxes, equipment rooms. There are plenty of cabinets, drawers, and shelters here – perfect for hiding or regrouping.
The basement and backup generators. Dark, damp rooms with poor ventilation. Power outages are common: lights go out, cameras shut down, and you have to rely on flashlights for guidance. The basement contains dangerous objects like "Elephant's Foot"—zones with extreme radiation that you mustn't look at or linger in.
Sector 2 (Logistics and Control Rooms). Warehouses, delivery corridors, and checkpoints. Rare supplies and keycards for accessing restricted areas can be found here.
Sector 3 and the reactor zone. The most dangerous areas: high radiation levels, unstable structures, risk of collapse. Ambushes and powerful opponents are often deployed here.
Tunnels and decontamination hatches connect different parts of the complex. The tunnels have poor visibility and many dead ends and traps.

An outbreak of WE-30 has occurred in the city of Menlo. It's not just a "zombie virus," but something that makes those infected especially aggressive: their strength and endurance sharply increase, and their rage becomes almost uncontrollable. It feels closer to rabies than to a classic zombie transformation—the infected retain some human traits, but completely lose self-control.

Laboratory and nuclear facility
They attempted to study and contain the infected in a secret laboratory within the nuclear complex. The facility is heavily irradiated, making the situation even more dangerous: radiation, unstable zones, power outages, and poor visibility. This is where squads of players are sent—as one of the "late waves."

The fate of previous waves
Almost nothing is known about the earlier groups. Their missions failed, communication was lost, and traces indicate they either died or became infected themselves. Players are clearly told: "Don't become one of them." This is an important part of the atmosphere—you're not a hero who will surely save everyone, but a participant in a risky operation with a high probability of failure.

Who is Gilbert?
Gilbert is the first serious boss. According to lore, he was part of one of the early squads, but was either exposed to WE-30 or severely altered by the combination of the virus and radiation. He's slow but very dangerous, armed with a shotgun and acting more like a "living wall"—not so much fast as relentless and powerful. His design underscores the idea that even experienced fighters quickly become a threat in this facility.

If you tell me what's more interesting—other bosses, classes/squads, or some secret areas and endings—I'll tell you more. 😊

Appearance and equipment
Sinitsyn wears a black Rason uniform, a "Warrior-1" assault suit, a "Point 279" exoskeleton, a modified "Poyas-A" chest plate, and an "Elephant System" high-capacity ammunition carrying system.

He wears a modified helmet from the "Warrior-1" set, with a reinforced but cracked visor and additional armor plates, as well as bulletproof armored glass. Two Soviet medals are pinned to his chest: "Hero of the Soviet Union" and "For Distinguished Military Service." On his left wrist are a gold beaded rosary.

Under the welding mask, Sinitsyn has a neat appearance: a neatly trimmed black beard, multiple healing scars, and a white patch over his left eye.
examination.fandom.com Sinitsyn is a senior lieutenant in the Rasonian Infantry and captain of the Rasonian Assault and Reconnaissance Division of the Special Operations Directorate. He uses a scrambler to disrupt the player's radio communications with command (TOC "Bill") and engages in a mocking dialogue with them. He describes the player's (Menlonian Ground Forces) actions at the Itagura Nuclear Power Plant as ruthless, comparing them to "higher monsters."

It remains unclear, however, what exactly Sinitsyn is doing at the nuclear power plant, as no traces of Rason citizens have been found there.

Appearance
The Chimera is similar in appearance to the MGF Commander special forces unit, but has a number of notable differences:
Helmet: Red, with inscriptions ("MY ARMOR IS BETTER THAN YOURS" on the right side, "DO NOT MISTAKE MY KINDNESS FOR WEAKNESS" on the stripe and three control marks on the left side).
Gas mask: part of the respirator is split due to deformation of the lower jaw, which has become one with the mask and is constantly bleeding.
Exoskeleton: Equipped with three glowing white claws on the left hand.
Additional elements: low-profile night vision goggles AN/PVS-21, oxygen tanks on the back, ballistic collar.
Deformed Appearance: The skin under the mask has taken on a fleshy appearance due to merging with the armor.
Knife: stuck into the right shoulder blade.

In an early design, Chimera wore an olive balaclava instead of a gas mask, and the glowing elements were red. In the second phase of the fight, the balaclava is removed, revealing a deformed jaw and skin darkened by the virus.

Behavior and attacks
The Chimera boasts high speed and maneuverability thanks to its exoskeleton. It attacks the player with glowing claws, dealing significant damage. After performing a dropkick, it emits a static sound and lunges at the player, turning them into a ragdoll and leaving them vulnerable to other attacks.
examination.fandom.com
The Chimera has the ability to dodge bullets, reducing damage taken. When its health drops below half, it temporarily loses coordination and then falls to its knees. However, it soon recovers, stands up, and begins to roar furiously—the second phase of the fight begins. In this state, it can target players within a 75-unit radius.

Kaidan Troy was sent to the Itagura Nuclear Power Plant in the first wave after the WE-30 virus outbreak, with orders to evacuate survivors and eliminate the infected. Shortly before deployment, he was offered the opportunity to test the Moloch exoskeleton prototype, which he accepted, presumably by modifying it.

During the mission, Troy's squad (including Corporal Gilbert Barren) became separated from the main force and encountered significant obstacles and infected, suffering casualties. Troy himself became infected with WE-30 and eventually succumbed to the infection.

Due to the intense radiation at the nuclear power plant, the exoskeleton's self-destruct system failed to activate. The WE-30 virus gradually fused his flesh with his armor, likely increasing his agility and significantly enhancing his offensive capabilities.

Appearance
Gilbert is dressed in the olive drab uniform of a Special Forces marksman, which is covered in blood. He has no rank insignia. He wears a gas mask with a flashlight to protect against contaminated air, a bulletproof vest, knee pads, and black combat boots. A small MSV flag hangs on his chest. His eyes glow red, like those of other infected. A name tag hangs above Gilbert's head, but the last name is hidden by bars.

History and background
Gilbert was sent to the lab as part of the first wave of soldiers after the WE-30 virus outbreak. He was assigned to Kaidan "Chimera" Troy's squad along with a medic and an operative. During the mission, the medic and operative were killed, and Gilbert and Chimera were infected with the virus.

Game mechanics
Aggression: All playable characters are hostile towards Gilbert, except for Chimera, with whom he has a neutral relationship.
Weapon: Primary weapon: R8 semi-automatic pump-action shotgun (6 rounds per magazine). Uses a knife for close combat.
Behavior: Gilbert is slow, but can accelerate rapidly after reloading his shotgun. He has the ability to dodge.
Gilbert perceives players as just another infected. He displays superhuman strength, capable of crushing limbs and flattening bones with a single kick. He has passive abilities: the ability to open doors and a 50% chance to slit the player's throat instead of performing an execution on a fatal knife strike.

Appearance
After being infected, her appearance has undergone significant changes:
Her skin has darkened.
Her lower jaw is missing, likely due to radiation.
Her eyes glow a bright white light when infected.
Her face is mostly hidden under a matte black respirator that fits tightly over the lower part of her face.
Her hair is long, black, and tousled, falling over her shoulders.

The Flare armor is a heavy, bulky, black-and-gray exoskeleton with multilayered armor on the arms, chest, and legs. It is equipped with sealed mechanical joints for protection against combat and environmental hazards. A bright flashlight is mounted on the right forearm, and two medical stimulators (likely painkillers) are attached to the right hand.

Weapons - Glowing white claws, which are her personal weapons both before and after infection. Abilities and combat behavior
Flare was distinguished by high speed and used dashes to quickly close in on the player. Her key feature was the ability to teleport ("warp") to a target.

Combat mechanics:
When attempting to teleport, Flare destroys any MGF weapon in its path.
When her health drops to about half, she enrages, dramatically increasing her speed and damage. This is a critical moment to attack.
Flare appears after the valve in the reactor opens (approximately 12 minutes after the start).
