It is the year 2030. Just weeks ago, the nation of Menlo was devastated by an outbreak of the WE-30 virus: an aggressive mutation of rabies that causes neuronal degradation, complete loss of reason, and extreme aggression in those who contract it. The outbreak began with a bar fight near the capital, where an infected person bit a police officer; the government tried to cover it up, but the infection spread uncontrollably, ravaging the entire city. The epicenter of the crisis is the Itagura Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), a nuclear power plant converted into a research laboratory, now infested with infected individuals and on the verge of a reactor meltdown. The atmosphere is oppressive: dark corridors, radiation, a heavy silence, and the certainty that any sound could betray you to what lurks nearby. There is no easy heroism here—only survival, orders to be obeyed, and the constant possibility of not returning.

Menlo is the nation where it all began. Before the outbreak, it was already a country with a considerable armed forces: the Menlonian Ground Forces (MGF), an army of approximately 650,000 personnel, equipped to NATO-like standards. When WE-30 spiraled out of control, the government responded by establishing so-called "White Zones": heavily militarized quarantine zones, sealed off and guarded by the MGF, where survivors were concentrated while the rest of the territory was left to the chaos of the infected. The capital and its surrounding areas were among the hardest hit—the city of Menlo was practically wiped off the map after the catastrophe. The Menlonian government is rigid, distrustful of outsiders, and prioritizes military control over transparency: it concealed the origin of the outbreak in its initial hours, and maintains that same attitude now toward foreign aid, which it views with suspicion, especially that from Rasonia. For anyone within the MGF, Menlo is no longer just a nation to defend — it's the last thing left to save.

Within the Itagura NPP operate the remnants of the 21st Mechanized Regiment of the Rasonian Infantry Forces (RIF), commanded by Senior Lieutenant Sinitzyn "Sin" Komarek, a veteran of the Menlo-Sonian Wars. They are identified by their basic gray uniforms, black vests and helmets, some with yellow-glowing night-vision goggles. They are armed with AK-74 rifles, the compact AKS-74U variant (used by their combat medics), and the dreaded SHC-23, a 4-gauge shotgun loaded with "Dragon's Breath" incendiary ammunition. They occupy a large portion of the RSU laboratories in Sectors 3 and 4, although their official version—that they are only seeking to evacuate Rasonian civilians—is widely disputed. Time is not on their side: every day they lose men to the infected, or they themselves become infected. Some units, like the 21st "Polk" or the Vladimir engineering detachment, have already been almost completely annihilated. Others, like the 24th "Polk," survive entrenched behind sandbags, terrified and with little hope.
Ways the regiment may fall: If the MGF manages to mount a sustained offensive on Sector 3, the regiment could be forced to retreat with devastating casualties — including the possibility of losing Sinitzyn himself in the process.

Menlo and Rasonia are not nations that began hating each other with the outbreak—they were already embroiled in the Menlo-Sonian Wars, a previous conflict where the MGF ended up occupying a large part of Rasonia territory, and Rasonia, despite defending itself, lost that war. That wound remains open. When WE-30 struck Menlo, Rasonia initially showed complete indifference—it wasn't interested in helping, only in evacuating its own citizens trapped in the White Zones. Menlo flatly rejected this proposal, considering it selfish and a violation of its sovereignty. Rasonia didn't stop there: it deployed the Rasonian Infantry Forces (RIF) without authorization, occupying key regions such as Sectors 3 and 4 of the Itagura NPP—right where the RSU laboratories were located. Menlo responded by declaring the Rasonia forces "hostile invaders," with orders to shoot to kill. What followed was an unofficial war that much of the world considered unjustly waged by Rasonia, given that Menlo was already devastated by the catastrophe. Furthermore, there are rumors that a Rasonia private military company, operating under a cover to avoid detection, is working in the area to recover samples and files from the HPCA before anyone else does.

The Itagura Nuclear Power Plant stands in Porto Alegre, within the mountainous region of San Kaduna, in Menlo. Built in 1989 on 1,813 acres, it was once a model project, supplying electricity to over a million families and employing more than 5,000 people—including support staff, scientists, and engineers—who even lived in a company village built next to the plant. It had four operational reactors. When WE-30 went out of control, Reactor 1 suffered a meltdown and exploded, exposing the core and releasing radiation: this marked the beginning of what is now known as the Itagura Disaster. A month after the outbreak, the HPCA (Hazardous Pathogen Control Agency, based in New Askaria) demanded that its RSU laboratories be installed inside the reactor itself, taking advantage of its proximity to quarantined cities to investigate the virus and quickly transport samples. This reduced the plant's original staff and further overloaded the reactor. Four weeks after the HPCA was installed, the Itagura quarantine zone broke, putting the entire facility at risk; a day later, a blackout completely destabilized the complex, leaving the plant on the verge of total collapse.

The Lobby is the main entrance to the Itagura NPP: a gathering area where teams prepare before venturing into the inferno. It's a secure zone—neither the common infected nor Flare can enter here—with a changing room, a token vending machine, and even a coffee maker, small remnants of normalcy amidst the chaos. Phrases written by those who came before are still visible on the walls: "I don't like this place, it smells like death...", "Get ready, soldier, we're moving," "Hold firm, pray, show no mercy." Further on are the Decontamination Showers, where plant personnel were once sanitized; today they act as a barrier that Flare, Chimera, and most of the infected cannot cross, giving the teams one last respite before advancing. An engraved cross on one of the walls in this area serves as a direct access point to the Tunnels. Nearby, a dimly lit maintenance corridor—known simply as Utility—hides something that no one has been able to fully identify: a presence capable of dragging anyone who gets too close directly into the Tunnels.

PART 1 — Before activating Reactor 4.
Sector 1 is the first real zone within the Itagura NPP, just after passing through the Decontamination Showers. The Entrance has supplies and the gate to access the sector. In the background, you can just make out Reactor 1, sealed and inaccessible, a silent reminder of what came before. The path crosses Soldier Dice's Corridor—a section with a quiet weight of its own—to Generator 1. Activating it doesn't awaken anything yet: the deeper doors of the sector are still locked, so no infected can pass. From there, you descend to the Basement of Reactor 4, where you have to find the Backup Generator and, taking extreme care not to look at it directly, rotate the valve near the dreaded Elephant's Foot—a radioactive mass capable of killing almost instantly upon seeing or touching it. All of this still takes place in a tense, artificial calm.
PART 2 — After activating Reactor 4:
The moment the valve and the rest of Reactor 4 are activated, the sealed doors to the sector burst open—and with them, the infected finally manage to enter. The path continues through Storage, a small depot, to Generator 2. Further in lies the territory where something that was once a special forces operation now roams aimlessly—still with some of its training intact.

Sector 2 opens with a massive gate leading to a long corridor—and there, at a certain point, the first corpses begin to appear, a clear sign that something worse happened before you arrived. The corridor ends at a staircase; upon ascending it, you'll find infected armed with pistols and several lurkers on the loose. Further on, before you can advance any further, you must face three infected firing from behind barriers, as well as a Slasher. Only after overcoming all of that do you reach the Armory, with a P95 and extra ammunition. From there, by interacting with a laptop in the far left room, you can operate the emergency shutters and the Logistics access shutters. Climbing another flight of stairs and crossing more corridors leads to the heart of the sector: the Logistics area, on the second floor, with a gaping hole in the middle of it. There, you have to get a blue card in the Gate-1 area—closely guarded by a Kamikaze—and use it on a reader to access the office with the final laptop, the one that opens the way to Sector 3. But before you can even take that card and move forward, you have to get rid of a particularly dangerous infected that usually hangs around near the elevator area, still clinging to the remnants of a training it once had.

Sector 3 is entered through a massive security gate, clearly marked with the letters "SECTOR 3"—and it's important to remember that Flare can track anyone who crosses that gate, without any hindrance. On the other side awaits a large warehouse of shelving, almost all of it empty. A corridor where a turret, controlled by a Rasonian soldier, awaits leads to Subsector-1. There, while Nod (TOC Bill) begins giving instructions over the radio—warning that no one on the team is trained in demolitions—it's best not to let your guard down, because there's usually a Rasonian sniper with a shotgun crouching behind wooden crates, ready to exploit any distraction. Once that's dealt with, near a hiding place there's a green explosive crate containing C4, necessary to blow up the first of four Rasonian hideouts scattered throughout the sector—Nod asks you to repeat the same maneuver all four times. Along the way, keep an eye out for a strange infected, resembling a Rasonian soldier, carrying a radio backpack with a blinking light. Deeper within the sector, among increasingly hostile subsectors, is where the Rasonian regiment is most entrenched—and where, sooner or later, you'll encounter the worst they have to offer.

The mission assigned to the MGF troops inside the Itagura NPP is clear and brutal: clear the facility of infected, sector by sector, and regain control of the complex. This is not a rescue operation—it is containment and total purge. The teams that enter know the odds of making it out alive are slim, and the fate of previous waves remains largely unknown. In addition to the infected, the mission involves confronting the Rasonian forces entrenched deeper within and recovering the HPCA samples before they fall into the wrong hands. The MGF has a reputation for being cold, methodical, and ruthless—Sin, the Rasonian commander, has told more than one soldier this: "You leave corridors of corpses with nothing to show for it, you act like merciless monsters climbing the food chain... President Dimetrevich was right. You are beasts, you have no compassion." There is no time for hesitation or unnecessary heroism: each cleared sector is one step closer to containing the disaster, and also one step deeper into the unknown.

MGF operatives are divided into specialized combat roles. At the base are the Classless (minimal equipment, only an A9 Brigadier pistol).
the Standard (SMX-9 rifle, distributes boxes of ammunition)
The Breacher, the Medic, and the Leader (IMBEL IA2 rifle, uses the "Pulse Node" to mark targets for their squad). The most experienced advance to Special Operations roles: the Operator provides suppressive fire with the P95 "Knight"; the Pointman is the lethal version of the Breacher, with the PMS-12T "Hammer" shotgun and a Halligan Bar as a melee weapon for executions; the Corpsman is a self-sufficient combat medic with the VGS-45 "Striker"; and the Commander, an elite version of the Leader, carries the AR-19 "Phantom" or the SR-58 "Spearhead". Then there are the special roles: the Enforcer, designed for containment and riot control, carries the FSS Deadbolt ballistic shield (which temporarily blinds infected and rasonians) and a Taser capable of stunning even Gilbert; And the Rioter, who gets a pellet gun from a fallen Shielder for a close and brutal fight.

Fact: When a soldier is infected, they will be screaming and in agony at all times. The infection of common soldiers usually does not last more than 10 minutes. In cases such as leaders or special classes, such as pointman, corpsman, and operator, the infection will last normally.

Breacher: Full-face helmet with visor/scope attached to the front, black gas mask underneath. Dark camouflage vest with multiple modular pockets on both sides and a shotgun shell bandolier across the chest.
Standard: camouflage helmet with a night vision visor mounted on the forehead. Standard gas mask, and an olive-green ammunition canister hanging from the side as a fixed part of the uniform.
Medic: Integrated hood that covers the entire head and attaches directly to a dark, opaque visor, without a separate helmet. The vest features patches with a white cross on a green background, identifying the wearer as medical personnel.
Leader: Distinguished from the rest by wearing a red beret instead of a helmet. Gas mask with lenses that emit a faint green glow. Dark reddish tactical vest, different from the standard camouflage of the other classes.
Pointman: dark, closed helmet, gas mask. Across his chest he wears a clearly visible bandolier loaded with shotgun cartridges of different colors, arranged in a row.
Commander: Dark helmet with a composite visor of four night-vision lenses mounted on the front—the most cumbersome gear of all the classes. Gas mask; bulkier silhouette due to the command equipment he carries.
Operator: Helmet covered by a ghillie/camouflage fabric that gives it a more irregular profile. Overlaid night vision goggles, gas mask with lenses that glow green, and a patch with a cross on the chest.
Enforcer: He is the only one with his face partially visible, without a full gas mask. He has a green hose or tube connected to his equipment, and his vest has alternating horizontal stripes of green and beige/orange.
Corpsman: Integrated hood that covers the entire head, with the gas mask incorporated into the same design (similar to the Medic, but with heavier equipment). Vest with distinctive green stripes that differentiate it from the standard Medic.

Lurker: the most common. Slow, moans constantly, attacks with simple bare-handed blows.
threat level: 1 star.
Crawler: It has lost the use of its legs and crawls along the ground. It's fast in confined spaces, but a well-aimed blow when approaching is enough to stop it.
threat level: 0.5 stars.
Kamikaze: the fastest of them all. Upon detecting someone, he pulls out a grenade, runs screaming at top speed, and it explodes upon contact—or even if he's killed beforehand, if he's already pulled the pin.
Shielder: carries a riot shield that blocks almost any frontal shot. You have to flank him or use something capable of penetrating armor.
Gunner: retains enough of his training to fire firearms —usually an SMX-9 rifle or an M14—, although he is slow and fragile if grabbed at close range.
Slasher: Lurks in the shadows with glowing red eyes. Depending on the variant, it attacks with an axe (fireman or military versions) or a heavy hammer (RSU variant); it can execute anyone with low health in a single blow.
Fury: a mutation caused by uncontrolled rage, more resilient and aggressive than the rest, with a deformed jaw; he attacks with his bare hands, with brutal strength. Even other infected prefer to keep their distance from him.
Deceiver: the rarest and most dangerous of all. It can mimic the behavior of a normal person to approach without raising suspicion, and then execute by surprise anyone who lowers their guard.
Vorax: Forms when the victim's jaw or digestive system is destroyed. It roams around devouring anything it finds, can vomit from a distance, and explodes upon death.
Virals: former MGF soldiers who succumbed to the virus. Among them are the Runner (incredibly fast, unarmed), the Executioner (brutal melee attacker), the Leader (emits static electricity that enrages nearby infected), and the Enforcer (a tank that absorbs bullets without tiring).
threat level of those not mentioned:
2-3 stars

Mikhail William: a firefighter with the Menlo Fire Department, infected and armed with a K-12 circular chainsaw. He is found in Sector 2 Logistics, seemingly devastated by the loss of a fallen comrade. If he hears a noise, he gets up and wields his chainsaw; being infected, he is much more resilient. If he sustains enough damage, he will eventually collapse like any other severely infected person.
threat level: 4 stars
Dave Davidson: High-ranking RSU (Menlonian, not Rasonian) personnel, infected while escorting colleagues to a safe zone. He attacks with a chainsaw, extremely lethal if he manages to close the distance quickly. He would fall in the same way: accumulating damage until his body can no longer support itself. He is in Sector 3.
threat level: 4 stars
Yakov Zhukov: second-in-command of the RIF after Sinitzyn, a veteran of the 2008 Menlo-Sonia War. He uses a 4-gauge SHC-23 shotgun with "Dragon's Breath" incendiary ammunition. If the MGF manages to corner him inside the plant, there is a real possibility that he will be killed. He is in sector 3.
threat level: 4 stars
Cerberus: a modified BTR-82 Rasonio patrolling the Sector 3 Vehicle Depot, armed with a 30mm 2A72 autocannon, an auxiliary PKT machine gun, a drone launcher, and two rear flamethrowers. If the MGF manages to destroy it, the crew would be trapped inside, burning alive as the internal ammunition begins to detonate from the heat. It is located in Sector 3.
threat level: 5 stars
D-Zero: the rarest and most mysterious of them all, whose real name is Victor. He appears very rarely, stalking those who stray from the group, and attacks with an improvised bladed weapon—but he never stays to fight to the end: as soon as he loses the upper hand, he escapes without a trace.

TOC "Bill" is the voice that guides each MGF squad through the Itagura NPP via radio. He's believed to be an MGF officer or captain in charge of coordinating the operation from some secure location, though little is known about him beyond his voice and name. He gives the initial briefing upon entering the facility—recommending aiming for the infected's heads, "it's more effective"—and guides each completed objective with the next step. His tone combines military discipline with a dry, somewhat weary humor: he often sighs before delivering bad news, and he doesn't hold back on sarcastic remarks, such as when he warns that "apparently no one in the squad is trained in explosives, according to the Military Corps" before ordering them to detonate C4 charges in Sector 3. He's also honest about the risks: he even admitted that Sector 3 "is not a safe place," something confirmed by notes from a now-deceased lab employee, who asked that the lockdown of that area not be lifted. Inside Sector 3, Sinitzyn jams his signal with a radio jammer to directly taunt the soldiers in his place. Even Gilbert, despite being infected and having lost almost all of his humanity, still recognizes him and calls out his name—one of the few things he retains of who he once was.

Sinitzyn "Sin" Komarek is the senior lieutenant in command of the 21st Mechanized Regiment of the RIF, and one of the oldest characters in the Itagura NPP—around 50 years old, a veteran of the Menlo-Sonian Wars. He is armed with an RPD light machine gun, and if the fight gets tough, he switches to a heavy mace, which makes him noticeably faster and more lethal. He wears a bulletproof welding mask, a black "Voin-1" assault suit, a "Punkt 279" exoskeleton, a modified "Poyas-A" tactical vest, and a high-capacity ammunition loading system nicknamed the "Elephant System." His personality blends sarcasm with a moral superiority that doesn't quite hold up: he uses a radio jammer to interfere with TOC "Bill's" signal and speak directly to the MGF soldiers, mocking them and accusing them of being "merciless monsters" who are merely carrying out a "clean-up" disguised as a rescue—ironic, considering that his own sector hides a room full of MGF corpses. He also acknowledges, almost in passing, that the Rasonia presence at the facility began as a mistake: they hired a front company without checking its background, and that led to the current conflict with the MGF. The longer the standoff in Sector 3 drags on, the weaker his position becomes: if the MGF manages to mount a sustained offensive, there's a real possibility that Sinitzyn will end up falling along with the rest of his regiment.
It is currently in sector 3, in the deepest part of it.

Gilbert Berran was a Pointman with MSTOC (Menlo Special Terrain and Operations Command), deployed in the first wave after the WE-30 outbreak, along with his Commander, a Corpsman, an Operator, and a man named Troy—now known as Chimera. The squad's mission was to secure the facility. The Corpsman and the Operator died of their wounds before even becoming infected; Gilbert and Troy weren't so lucky, and ended up becoming two of the most dangerous infected in existence. According to combat logs, Gilbert was already considered a psychopath before all this—an alcoholic, with assessments warning that he should never be entrusted with a weapon—and yet there he was, gun in hand, both vital and dangerous. His mutation, a combination of Fury and Dreadnought, left him more conscious than any other infected: he's capable of forming complete sentences, recognizes Troy as one of his own—he's the only being he never attacks—and still calls TOC "Bill" out of habit. Oddly, he seems to mistake any living human for another type of infected, as if he can no longer fully distinguish the difference. He's armed with an R8 shotgun, slow but devastating, and warns anyone who gets too close to back off, his voice genuinely weary—though he never stops firing. He's also the only boss that can be stunned with a Taser.
He is currently infected in the NPP itagura, wandering around attacking infected and humans alike.

Flare was the Head of Security at a nuclear silo converted into a laboratory for the RSU. Even in life, she wore gleaming white claws on her wrists, her personal weapon, the result of an experimental RSU armor project that was ultimately scrapped. In her role, she was known for an almost icy calm: direct, taciturn, with a dry wit delivered without changing her tone of voice, and a professional efficiency that left no room for panic or drama, even in real emergencies. She became infected after being bitten on the leg. The virus darkened her skin, caused her to lose her lower jaw—possibly due to radiation—and left her completely dependent on her respirator, as the armor, now rusted, barely allowed her to breathe. What she did retain, strangely intact, was that methodical composure: she doesn't attack like a crazed beast, but as if she were still "working"—assessing threats, moving with purpose, treating each intruder as a security breach that must be neutralized, nothing more, nothing less. He also gained the ability to "Warp", briefly teleporting towards his targets with near-instantaneous dash-like attacks.
Currently infected in the NPP itagura, it roams Sector 1 and attacks humans and infected alike.

Kayden "Chimera" Troy was a Commander in the Menlo Special Terrain and Operations Command (MSTOC), leading the same first-wave squad that included Gilbert Berran, a Corpsman, and an Operator. Before this mission, he was offered the opportunity to field-test a prototype exoskeleton called "MOLOCH"—an offer he accepted, modifying it himself. Already arrogant and possessing a particular brand of humor, he hand-wrote phrases like "MY ARMOR IS BETTER THAN YOURS" and "DON'T CONFUSE MY KINDNESS FOR WEAKNESS" on his helmet, along with three carved markings. When his squad separated from the rest of the infantry to complete a secondary objective, the casualties were devastating: the Corpsman and the Operator died from their wounds, while Troy and Gilbert ended up contracting WE-30. Because he was still wearing the exoskeleton when he was infected, the virus fused his flesh directly to the metallic structure, greatly enhancing the already electrified claws that came with the suit. The self-destruct system that MOLOCH likely had planned for such cases failed, possibly due to the intense radiation of the facility. He is left-handed—hence his claws are on his left arm—and an avowed atheist. Today, he is one of the fastest and most aggressive threats in the entire facility, and for some reason that no one can fully explain, he never attacks Gilbert.
Currently infected within the NPP fortress, it attacks humans and infected alike.
Approximately 2500 hit points.
