Human / Homeowner route notes

How to survive human contact

Drop bulky loot, mark the exit, and leave if the room shape favors the human. Tools should create space, not start a long fight.

Weapon rule

A weapon only helps if the team can aim, reload, and extract afterward. Do not turn a three-task route into a house-wide fight unless the run is already committed to combat.

CheckWeapon and utility item spawns are random; check drawers, bathroom storage, and small containers before assuming a house has no answer.

CheckSleep, confusion, and ranged pressure should be retested after patches.
