Saferoom

Saferoom

Saferooms are barricaded safe zones that play an essential part in Back 4 Blood. They exist exclusively in the Campaign mode and serve as a shelter for the Cleaners, where they can temporarily rest from the hardship in the battle against the Ridden and improve their arsenal by means of the KSC Vendor Crates.

Overview

In terms of gameplay, most of the Campaign missions begin and end with leaving or entering a Saferoom. When players start a mission certain features are available or disabled until the door of a Saferoom has been opened.

• Friendly fire is disabled on difficulties above Recruit as long as the Saferoom exit door is shut.
• Weapons can be unbolted for 500 each until the Saferoom exit door has been opened.
• KSC Vendor Crates will cease to offer their supplies after a certain amount of time has passed once the exit door has been unlocked.

In addition, First Aid Cabinets can spawn inside Saferooms, which give Cleaners the ability either for free or for Copper to heal their trauma damage and restore lost health.

If a Mission has the condition that a certain Saferoom must be entered, the Mission is considered successfully completed if at least one Cleaner controlled by a player has entered the Saferoom and closed the entrance door behind them. If there are any Cultists or Mutations in the Saferoom, they must be eliminated even if the Saferoom door is closed before a Mission success is declared. This can be observed in the missions To The Den of Evil and Surrounded by Devils of the Children of the Worm expansion where Cultists are in the destination Saferooms by default.

Saferooms can be entered by all Common Ridden, Cultists and Mutations. In the case of Boss Mutations, only the Abomination and the Ogre are excluded from entering them. While the Abomination is out of range of a Saferoom, the Ogre can attempt to grab a Cleaner with its arm and remove them from the Saferoom.
