The First Room
Vae Victis has no first room in the usual sense: it is an open world map, with no doors to buy between the players and the rest of the Dark Aether. A game begins outdoors, in the sandy wasteland next to the Bus Depot of TranZit. In the two games filmed from the very start by CODz Gameplay and YouAlwaysWin, the crew stands a few steps from the depot, M1911 in hand, while Stuhlinger talks, and the beam of the lighthouse of Call of the Dead shines on the horizon.
From there everything is open on foot. A Steam player describes it: from the spawn, the cluster of giant rocks to the right, the one closest to the depot, hides the pizza box of a side quest. In the game of CODz Gameplay, the banner “New objective found” shows up about twenty seconds after the start.
The wasteland
The open ground around the spawn: sand, dead trees, wrecked cars and purple crystals.
A new objective
The banner of a new objective, here a Holdout, next to the locked room of the depot, its padlock wrapped in yellow electricity.
The Bus Depot
The depot of TranZit, a few steps from the spawn: its neon sign, its platform and a burning doorway.
M1911
The starting pistol of every player. YaBoyBadger keeps it for the first objective: on the first wave it kills a zombie with two shots to the head. Upgraded, it becomes Mustang & Sally.
The locked room
A door on the right side of the depot needs a key. Behind it waits an Avogadro whose death gives Electric Cherry to every player, and later a navcard of the main quest.
Nearby
The workshop across from the depot, where the main quest builds a new body for A.R.T.E.M.I.S., and a small camp behind the large garage of the bus yard, one of the places where the corpse of Sarah Michelle Gellar can lie.
Enemies
Only zombies in the first minutes of the filmed games; the stronger enemies come with the objectives and the later waves.
Out of reach at the start
Nothing is walled off, but the key doors stay shut until a key drops, and most side quests and the free perk rooms do not work before the second wave.
