Survivors
Then yesterday, the crash survivors started showing up....Best thing we can do is keep these people warm and fed and....then we'll see what the Lord has in store.

Crash Survivor is someone who survived an airline crash in the Pleasant Valley region. They are only found in Episode 3: Crossroads Elegy.

Basic Details

There are four crash survivors found during the story mode. The first, Gwen, is found at the ruined airliner itself. The other three are found on the map after Astrid has brought Gwen to the community center.

Logan is found near the Heartbreak Bridge, Wade is found near Pleasant Valley Farmstead, close to the bridge on the end of the property furthest from the main road. Ava is found near Lonely Homestead.

Gameplay Features

When Astrid Greenwood finds these survivors, she needs to carry them back to the Community hall and place them on an empty bed. Once they are there, she cannot interact with them further. 

When Astrid is carrying a survivor, Astrid cannot sprint, her walking speed is reduced to a crawl, she cannot use weapons, and she cannot interact with items or Vehicles (although she can open building doors and bunker hatches). A small icon next to the Sprint Bar similar to the Burdened Affliction icon will appear as long as Astrid is carrying a Survivor. Placing a Crash Survivor down will remove these debuffs.

Survivors have their own Warmth and Thirst bar that steadily depletes, as well as a Condition bar. Astrid may treat these survivors by interacting with them and choosing the "Diagnose" option. Survivors may only drink Potable Water, and like Astrid or Will Mackenzie, will drink until their thirst is quenched or the water runs out. Warmth is addressed by bringing them indoors or placing them by a fire. One can place them on beds and bedrolls providing the warmth bonus accompanying the bed/bedroll. It is not possible to give any clothing to a survivor. A Survivor's Condition bar will steadily recover just as a player's will so long as their Needs are satisfied.

Survivors may be attacked by a Timberwolf. A wolf will approach the survivor, stop, and then bite them on the ground. This will cause them to lose 25% Condition, and Astrid will need to treat their bleeding with a Bandage. A Bear will ignore a crash survivor, and if Astrid is attacked by one while holding a survivor, the survivor will simply fall to the ground and not be injured.

Trivia

  • The 3 missing Survivors will always be found near a campfire that will burn eternally, keeping them warm and keeping any wolves at bay. This can be a great place to create water, treat the survivors, and warm Astrid up before bringing them to the Community Hall.
  • Logan, Ava, and Wade are marked on the map in a large radius. If the player is having trouble finding them, Astrid may shoot a flare from a Distress Pistol while in the radius. The survivor will respond by shooting a flare back.
