General Gameplay

General/Story Mode

Q: When exactly do I apply character effects/infected effects when exploring?

A: The exact order is as follows, as detailed on page 14 of the Mercenaries rulebook:

1) Announce that you are Exploring2) Move any weapons that your character will be using from your hand to your play area. Each weapon

can only be used once, unless an effect states otherwise (CH-002 level 2 ability)3) Pay the ammo requirement on the weapons you moved in step 2. To do this, you should have played

ammunition cards/action cards/etc prior to step 1 to generate ammo. Designate the amount ofammo each weapon your character is using. That ammo is consumed once you move to step 4.

4) Total up the amount of damage your character is dealing by adding in the following order: Weapondamage, Character damage, any existential effects.

5) If any weapons being used have effects or any effects that occur when your character explores occurat this moment, in any order you wish.

Q: If I am losing after exploring, but I have more explores, can I use them?

A: Yes you may.

Mercenaries Mode

Q: Do you still get to buy in this mode?

A: Yes you do.

Q: How do the teams work?

A: Teams work together by sharing a combo pile and decoration total. Team members do NOT take their turnstogether.

Q: How does the combo pile work?A: Once a teammate defeats an infected, it goes into your combo pile. As long as a teammate defeats an infectedeach turn, the combo continues. If none of your teammates defeat an infected when it comes time to lower theturns remaining count, you add up the decoration value of all cards in your combo pile, then multiple that value bythe number of cards in the combo pile, and your team gets that many decorations.

Q: How do turns work?

A: After the last player has taken their turn, 1 turn is removed from the turn counter. Once the turn counterreaches 0, the game is over, and the teams compare decorations to determine the winner.

Outbreak Mode

Q: Where exactly do the infection cards I get go?

A: They go in a separate pile next to your character. They are NOT attached.

Q: If there is 1 infected character and everyone else is dead, does the game end?

A: Yes it does.

Q: At the end of the game, the first tie-breaker states that you compare health of all surviving players to determinethe winner. Do infected characters count for this?

A: No they do not.

Q: What happens when an infected character's health hits 0?

A: Rulebook pg 13: "If an Infected Character dies, that Infected Character's Player is not out of the game. ThePlayer controlling the Character who killed that Infected Character takes the Infected with the highest Decoration

value that was attached to the Infected Character, attaches it to their Character, and adds its Decoration value totheir total."

Q: When exactly does a character turn into an Infected?

A: The second they gain their 10th Infection (page 15, Outbreak rulebook).

Skill System

Q: When using this in conjunction with Partner Mode, do both my characters get XP?

A: Yes they do, since they both explored.

A: They have their own separate pile.

Q: Can I put more XP than is required on a Skill?

A: No you cannot.

Q: Can I put XP on a Skill that is less than what is required to activate it?

A: No you cannot.

Q: Once I have activated a skill by having the XP required on it, is that skill permanently activated?

A: It is as long as the required amount of XP is on it. If XP is removed from the Skill for any reason, then it "de-activates", and you are required to place XP on that skill during your turn until it has the required amount.

AC-037: A Gift?

Q: How does this card work?

A: You play it, apply the bonus icons first, then the effect text. So you would draw 2 cards, and then discard yourinventory.

AC-038: Mind Control

Q: What if I use this card and the only Action in my opponent's hand is AC-041 Symbol of Evil?

A: You would only be able to apply the bonus icons twice, but wouldn't be able to attach the card, since you areonly applying the effect but do not control the actual card you are applying. This same ruling applies to any cardthat requires you to "Trash it", "Attach it", or any other manipulation of a card you do not actually control.Examples include AC-031 The Gathering Darkness, AC-030 Returned Favor, and any cards that would attach to yourpartner (AC-013, AC-014, AC-020)

AC-040: Vengeful Intention

Q: What happens if I play two of these in a turn?

A: When you play the first one, the effect would apply, and you would take 10 damage. When you play the secondone, the first one would hit you for 10 damage, and then the second one would hit you for 10 damage. Everyaction you play afterwards would deal 20 damage to you, an instance of 10 damage from each copy played.

AC-041: Symbol of Evil

Q: How exactly does this card work?

A: When you play it, you attach it to your Character. Then, at the beginning of each of your turns, that charactertakes 10 damage and you get +1 card. However, if your health is 10 or less, the card trashes itself. This card is greatfor people who want to draw extra cards, but who don't want to dedicate actions every turn to doing so.

Q: What if I use AC-038 Mind Control and the only action in my opponents hand is this card?

A: You would only be able to apply the bonus icons twice, but wouldn't be able to attach the card, since you areonly applying the effect but do not control the actual card you are applying. This same ruling applies to any cardthat requires you to "Trash it", "Attach it", or any other manipulation of a card you do not actually control.Examples include AC-031 The Gathering Darkness, AC-030 Returned Favor, and any cards that would attach to yourpartner (AC-013, AC-014, AC-020)

A: Yes it can, as Ada has no effect stating that her max health cannot be reduced.

Q: What if the player's character with the most decorations is dead/permanently defeated (upside down)?

A: Anytime a character is upside down, its player and that character are considered unaffected and untargetable

by effects. The Hunter's effect would look at the current living character with the most decorations at this point.

A: It is revealed, your maximum health goes down by 20 (now your 50/60), then if you fail to defeat it, you take 30

damage (now your 20/60). If your health is 70/80 the infected would reveal and apply (now your 60/60 since yourcan't have more than 60 health), then you take 30 (30/60).

Q: This card states "any Weapons their Character uses", does this increase the Ammo Requirement for allWeapons their Character uses?

30/36

P a g e | 30


Q: I reveal MA-083 Los Ganados (Male) while Exploring with this character and have two more copies attached tome, making the revealed copies health 30. I defeat him, does Barry look at the top card of the Mansion as if thedefeated card's health was 30, or is it the printed value?

A: You look based on the health value of the card you defeated. In this instance, the health value of MA-083 was30, so you would look as if you defeated an Infected with a health of 30.

Q: I defeat 2 Infected during my turn, one with 25 health, the other with 30. How does Barry's effect work?

A: You would activate Barry's effect for each Infected. So you would do Barry's effect until you can longer look forthe 25 health Infected, and then you would do the same for the 30 health Infected.

Q: If I use WE-045 Custom Full-Bore Machine Gun and defeat an extra Infected with Barry's effect, do I gain 1 XPbecause of the weapons effect?

A: No, you don't. WE-045 only grants you +1 XP for every instance of Exploring. So if you explore in two separateinstances, then you would get +2 XP.

Action

AC-045 Coup De Grce

P a g e | 34


Q: If I have 1 Symbol of Evil AC-041 attached to my character at the beginning of my turn, and I have this skillactivated, do I take 10 damage and draw 1, or do I just draw 1? What if I had 2 AC-041 attached?

A: SK-011 lowers every instance of damage on your character by 10. In your example, you would simply draw 1,

and if you had 2 equipped, you would simply draw 2, since there would be 2 separate instances of AC-041attempting to deal damage to you.

Q: So this skill reduces any instance of damage by 10?

A: Yes, no matter what the source is.
