Debt Hunt Run Checklist

This is the laminated card. Use it with the debt tracker (the number) and how to play (the rules). Parent: tools hub. Screenshot the sections you need; do not reread a 2,000-word guide while the sky is red.

A. Lobby (Update 1)

• Joined a fresh server, not a stale bookmark
• Tutorial finished if the game asks (Getting Started)
• Difficulty agreed (Easy if anyone is new)
• Camera on a real hotbar slot (controls)
• Interact bind not sharing the fire button (mobile)
• Shop rule spoken: Independent unless tracker says yes (loadouts)
• Rally word chosen (survive sunset)
• Codes checked once (codes) and redeemed only in lobby (how to redeem)
• Floor calculated (debt tracker)

B. Daytime

• Photographer shooting highlights (loot)
• Every supply box on the line opened
• Ores / treasures only on-route
• Planks only if the room looks worth it
• Gems pocketed without a cross-map sprint
• No DarkMarket unless the spoken rule fired
• Floor rechecked at mid-day

C. Ten minutes of light left

• SUN called
• Bags stripped of junk
• Walking to rally, not “one more node”
• Carrier assigned if anyone is already hurt (co-op)
• Shop closed

D. Night

• Interiors / edges, not open timber
• No mining, no plank concerts
• Gun only to cover a carry
• Downed player carried to rally, dropped inside
• Last alive? Hide. Last Man Standing is a hide badge, not a reset

E. Dawn / extract

• Count Cash vs floor
• If last day, strip to S-tier only (pay off the debt)
• Pay the corporation when the meter allows — do not “one more cave”
• After extract, decide Medium vs stay Easy
• Do not install a script because the night was scary (script safety)

Solo edits

Skip carrier assignment. Night is one interior only. Shop even rarer. Page: solo runs.

Patch edits

If Update 1 moved a lobby checkbox, fix section A only. Forest sections B–E stay until a dated economy patch on updates.

Paste A and C into party chat. That is enough. If your crew needs a speech, they need co-op, not a longer checklist.

Failure ticks (add these after a wipe)

• Did someone mine after SUN?
• Did four people open DarkMarket?
• Did the photographer bury the camera in slot 8?
• Did we queue Insane with a tourist?
• Did we trust a script video instead of boxes?

If two of those are yes, the next queue is Easy, Independent, this checklist only. Read survive sunset on the walk back to the lobby, not during the hunt. The card is useless if you only open it after the wolf already ate the miner. Put it on a second monitor or a phone screenshot before section A. That is the whole product: fewer speeches, more ticked boxes, and the same ruthless corporation still waiting for Cash.
