The main objective of Survive Squad is to build a team of survivors, gather resources, and defend against enemy hordes while exploring various environments. Players must strategize their actions to ensure their squad's survival.

To collect resources, explore different maps and interact with resource nodes like trees, rocks, and buildings. You can gather resources in real-time, which are essential for crafting and upgrading your gear.

Leveling up survivors involves gaining experience points through completing missions and engaging in battles. Ensure your squad participates actively to maximize experience gain, and invest points in skills that enhance their abilities.

Effective squad management during battles requires strategic positioning and skill utilization. You should assign roles, choose the right weapons, and use the environment to your advantage. Follow these steps: 1. Position your squad based on enemy types. 2. Use defensive skills to absorb damage. 3. Attack from different angles to catch enemies off guard. 4. Retreat if overwhelmed to preserve your squad.

Improving base defenses involves upgrading structures and researching new technologies. Gather enough resources to: 1. Reinforce walls and barriers. 2. Set up traps around the perimeter. 3. Train and assign guards to key areas. 4. Regularly check and repair any damaged defenses.
