Day 2 — Base Construction (Tuesday)

Open all daily VS chests with smart timing, not random spending. This guide covers free scoring methods only; paid Diamond scoring is intentionally excluded.

These are screenshot examples. Your exact values depend on your Alliance Competition research.

Best double score: use Build Speedups during Base Construction Mission Readiness. The confirmed windows are Tuesday 04:00–08:00 and Wednesday 00:00–04:00 CET, equivalent to Tuesday 00:00–04:00 and 20:00–00:00 server time (CET − 4 hours).

Finish buildings and use Build Speedups

Construction Power: points are awarded when a building finishes and adds Power.

(Power gained ÷ 10) × your personal Construction Power value = VS Points

For example, 20,000 Power at the shown value of 253 per 10 Power earns 506,000 VS Points.

Build Speedups: every minute used also earns points.

Total Build Speedup minutes × your personal one-minute value = VS Points

Seven hours is 420 minutes. At the shown value of 137 per minute, that earns 57,540 VS Points.

Important queue rule: starting construction gives no points. Construction scores only when you use Build Speedups and when the building finishes and grants Construction Power.

You can pre-start long buildings before Tuesday. Prevent them from finishing before reset, leave enough time for the correct Mission Readiness window, then use speedups and finish the upgrade on Tuesday.

Recruit Survivors only on Tuesday

Every Survivor Recruit Ticket used earns Tuesday VS Points. Save tickets and recruit on Day 2 whenever possible. At the shown value of 3,200 points, 10 tickets earn 32,000 VS Points.

Free sources include Special Ops Random Boxes, Food/Metal/Oil zombies, Zombie Elite Hordes, Alliance Ambush, Devourer, some Nora boxes, and Daily Missions. Tickets are also available from the VIP Shop, Alliance Shop, and Diamond Shop; the Diamond Shop is usually poor value for free-to-play players.

Complete UR Special Ops and dispatch a UR Truck

• UR Special Ops: the mission must be UR/gold quality and completed on Tuesday. Save free Special Ops Tokens, mainly from Special Ops Random Boxes, and reroll only on Tuesday until a worthwhile UR mission appears.
• UR Transport Truck: only dispatching a UR/gold truck earns this score. Save free Convoy Contracts, mainly from Special Ops Random Boxes, and use them on Tuesday.

Gold results are rare on normal rolls. Do not spend paid resources just to force either objective.

Monday-to-Tuesday action plan

• Before Tuesday: save Build Speedups, Survivor Recruit Tickets, Special Ops Tokens, and Convoy Contracts. Pre-start long buildings if they will not finish early.
• At Tuesday reset: check which prepared buildings can finish today.
• Best speedup windows: Tuesday 04:00–08:00 and Wednesday 00:00–04:00 CET; Tuesday 00:00–04:00 and 20:00–00:00 server time.
• During Tuesday: use Build Speedups in Base Construction Mission Readiness, finish prepared buildings, recruit Survivors, complete a free UR Special Ops mission, and dispatch a free UR truck if available.
• Late Tuesday: the 20:00–00:00 server-time window is the final double-score opportunity. Spend only what still helps your target.

Speedup sources

Special Ops, Mission Readiness, Alliance Ambush, Zombie Siege, Devourer, Nora rewards, Special Ops Random Boxes, 5-minute Speedup Chests, and Daily Missions all provide speedups. Shops include the Alliance, VIP, and Trial Shops; Trial Shop speedups can be expensive.

Final checklist

• Prepared buildings did not finish before Tuesday.
• Construction start was treated as non-scoring.
• Build Speedups were used in the matching Mission Readiness window.
• Saved Survivor tickets were opened Tuesday.
• UR missions and trucks were completed only when free items made them available.
• No resources were spent without helping the day’s target.
