The First Room

On ZFRR, the First Room of The Shadowed Throne is the Underbelly, the cellars under the ruins of Berlin where the four agents start every game. Each player starts with 500 Jolts and the weapons of their own loadout, chosen in the menu before the game. The Underbelly is a low, dark basement of brick tunnels, with a caged-off passage lit by fires on the other side of its bars.

Sawed-off Shotgun
500 Jolts, a double-barreled shotgun, in a weapon locker of the Underbelly.
Kar98k
500 Jolts, a bolt-action rifle, in the second weapon locker of the Underbelly.
US Shovel
A free melee weapon lying on the ground, near the locker of the Sawed-off Shotgun.
A weapon locker sells its weapon and, later, its ammunition. The two lockers of the Underbelly are the cheapest of the map, with the Reichsrevolver of the Destroyed Building.

The Lebenblitz machine
500 Jolts in solo, 1,500 in co-op. The game sells it as an “automatic self-revive” in solo, three times at most; in co-op it makes reviving faster. It is the only Blitz machine of the Underbelly.

Resupply Package
A green bag next to the Sawed-off Shotgun. A player who has bled out gets their weapons back from it for 500 Jolts.

The caged-off tunnel
Behind metal bars, near the door to the Destroyed Building, hangs one of the two fuse boxes that open the Pack-a-Punch. It needs an explosive and the Wunderbuss, built behind the doors, so it stays shut in a First Room game.
Two doors of 750 Jolts
One leads to the Apartments, towards the workshop of the Wunderbuss; the other to the Destroyed Building, where the Pack-a-Punch elevator stands. Both stay closed.
The drop from Main Street
A wooden platform on Main Street breaks under the players and drops them into the Underbelly. It only works one way, from the street down.
No Geistschild
None of the six armor machines of the map is in the Underbelly, so a First Room game is played without armor.
No Mystery Box, no trap
The box starts in the Church and never stands in the Underbelly; the three traps are on Main Street, in the Cabaret and in the Plaza.
Enemies
Zombies, Pests, Bombers and Wüstlings come down into the Underbelly. The Gekochts only appear once a flare has called Straub’s zeppelin, and the Treasure Zombies once every area of the map is open, two things that happen behind the doors.
A clown doll sits to the right of the Sawed-off Shotgun locker. It is one of the dolls of the Perchta quest, but it only reacts once the projector of the Cabaret is running.
The The Shadowed Throne leaderboard has two categories, each with boards for solo and for two, three and four players: No Consumables, the reference, and With Consumables, where the consumables picked in the menu before the game are allowed. Its rules:
Doors closed
Reach the highest wave you can without opening any door or barrier.
Full rounds
Every round must be played in full.
No down barrier
Going down on purpose so that the body blocks the zombies out of part of the room is not allowed.
No consumables
On the No Consumables board, no consumable may be used. The With Consumables board allows them.
No glitches
Glitches and exploits are not allowed.
Video
The whole game is recorded and the players show the lobby before launching the map. On the No Consumables board, a co-op game needs the view of every player.
