FEDRA doesn’t fight like a normal army anymore. Their priorities are:
Containment over elimination
Speed over precision
Survival over heroics
Every soldier is trained to:
Avoid unnecessary engagements
Maintain formation discipline
Assume any situation can collapse instantly
👉 The biggest rule: Never lose control of the engagement and your squad always stick together
all FEDRA forces are given proper training before entering the field and also given a guide book.
When infected are spotted:
Shout contact warning (short, simple)
Form a tight firing line or wedge
Engage immediately—no hesitation
In there handbook it says "Delay = death. infected close distance faster than you think."
Aim center mass initially
Transition to headshots when possible
Automatic fire allowed in emergencies
But:
Ammo is conserved when possible
Soldiers trained not to panic-fire
FEDRA emphasizes:
Never let infected get within 10–15 feet
Fall back in controlled steps if overrun
Use barriers to your advantage:
Vehicles
Doors
Fences
to generate space and slow down the infected
👉 Every fight is about buying reaction time.
Infected are fast—but not tactical.
FEDRA exploits this:
Funnel infected into:
Hallways
Stairwells
Streets with barricades
Then:
Concentrated fire
Minimal exposure
If an area is compromised:
Seal it
Burn it
Abandon it
👉 FEDRA will abandon territory rather than risk the loss of men or materials.
After any encounter:
Immediate inspection for blood exposure
Anyone suspected:
Isolated and tested
Detained until test comes back
most likely executed if no testing kits available
👉 Fear of infection is as important as the infected themselves.
FEDRA avoids blind fights.
Scouts observe before engagement
Identify:
Numbers
Weapons
Movement patterns
👉 They prefer to control the fight before it starts
FEDRA rarely fights fair.
Brings:
More men
Better weapons
Stronger positioning
Goal:
End conflict quickly
Minimize FEDRA casualties
Most bandit encounters happen near:
Roads
Supply routes
QZ entrances
FEDRA tactics:
Layered checkpoints
Kill zones (open areas with no cover)
Clear lines of fire
Against bandits:
FEDRA uses:
Flanking units
Elevated positions
Suppression fire
If ambushed:
Immediate return fire
Spread out, then regroup
Push aggressively to break ambush
FEDRA wants control, not constant fighting.
They use:
Public executions
Displays of force
Strict enforcement of rules
👉 The goal is to make resistance feel pointless
Bandits may be:
Interrogated
Forced into labor
Used for intelligence
But:
If resistance is heavy → lethal force
When infected and bandits overlap:
FEDRA priority:
Contain infected
Eliminate or scatter humans
Sometimes they will:
Use infected as a weapon (indirectly)
Withdraw and let both sides weaken each other
New recruits:
Rigid, by-the-book
More likely to panic
more likely to survive encounter's with infected but not humans (training is fresh)
Veterans:
Calm under pressure
Ruthless decision-making
Know when to retreat
Everyone checks each other for cuts bits or blood on them after fights with infected
Silence before entering buildings is standard
underground tight spaces, dark area's and Doors are treated as potential death traps
