How co-op works
Players cooperate on persistent online or LAN servers, scavenging food, medicine, weapons, fuel, and building materials. A group can divide farming, hunting, base fortification, vehicle maintenance, deadzone expeditions, and horde defense, while private PvE settings remove the hostile-player threat found on PvP servers.
About this game
Unturned drops you into a voxel-style zombie apocalypse where survival depends on scavenging supplies, fortifying bases, and fending off the undead. Play solo or team up in true co-op, working together to secure resources, craft gear, and defend against both zombies and hostile players on PvP servers. The blocky art style keeps performance smooth even when hordes close in.

Core mechanics revolve around looting, crafting, base-building, and managing hunger, thirst, and health. Cooperation shines when one player scavenges while another watches for threats, or when your group pools materials to construct a secure compound. Communication is key during tense firefights and supply runs.
Online co-op and LAN play let you join dedicated servers or host private sessions with friends. Whether you prefer PvE teamwork or the unpredictability of PvP encounters, Unturned supports persistent multiplayer worlds that reward coordination and long-term strategy.
