Choose the Dead Rails guide you need now
This visible guide index puts Beginner first, then separates Solo, Team, Progression, Objective, and Update clusters. If this is your first session, read Beginner. If you are alone, use Solo. If the party keeps losing the train or stalling between settlements, use Team Composition. For a named mechanic such as Run Objectives or Newspaper Boy, go directly to the update-sensitive guide and read the live-check instructions before trusting an old reward or location.
