Beira-Rio Base: residents and preparation in Zombra
Beira-Rio Base is where you return between Zombra missions. At the camp, you can talk to residents, follow their requests and choose the squad’s next destination.
The camp between missions
At Beira-Rio Base, Zombra’s survival experience continues outside combat. The camp brings together residents, workplaces and access to operations. You return after expeditions and prepare your next departure there.
The base has a brighter, calmer atmosphere than the city. Residents move around and follow their routines while you explore the camp. Walking between workplaces lets you meet the people who live there and find conversations about life after the outbreak.
Meet Tonhão, Helena, Faísca and Dona Cida
Your allies have histories from before the apocalypse. Tonhão worked as a nightclub bouncer, and Helena came from the emergency department. Their experience appears in their dialogue and their roles as the squad’s Brawler and Medic.
Faísca worked in a barbecue restaurant and became the Pyro, while Dona Cida brings quarry and explosives experience to the Demolisher. Meeting them helps explain the classes and the game’s humor. They belong to the camp from which the zombie missions depart.
Conversations and residents’ requests
You can talk to residents and follow requests connected to the camp’s needs. Dialogue introduces each person’s past and what they are looking for after the disaster. An item found during an expedition can be part of a request back at the base.
Alongside combat allies, the camp includes residents such as pilot Zé Hélio, radio operator Duda and fisherman Seu Joaquim. Their workplaces give context to the base’s organization. Visiting them lets you discover other stories between one mission and the next.
Rescue survivors and choose the next operation
In the Hilltop Ruins, you find survivors waiting for rescue. Those who return with the squad move into Beira-Rio Base. The expedition changes the camp: new residents occupy the place you come back to.
Zombra is a pixel art zombie survival game in development, with solo play and online co-op for up to four players. The base connects its missions and characters. Before leaving again, you can meet the residents and choose the operation you want to face.

Read the original narration
Segurança de boate no apocalipse? Temos!
Esse é o Tonhão. Quinze anos de segurança de boate. Pra ele, zumbi é só um bêbado mais chato. E sem nome na lista!
A Helena passou doze anos no pronto-socorro. O mundo acabou, mas pra ela isso aqui ainda é só um plantão ruim.
O Faísca trabalhava em churrascaria. Continua cuidando do fogo. Só que agora, segundo ele, o espeto é outro. Eu não discutiria.
E a Dona Cida tem trinta anos de pedreira. Conhece explosivo pelo cheiro. Você traz o problema, ela traz uma solução bem barulhenta.
Tô construindo o Zombra, e quero uma base com gente de verdade: rotina, conversa e pedidos. Voltar vivo tem que significar alguma coisa.
