This guide saved my team! The medic rotation strategy is genius. We went from dying on night 20 to completing all 99 nights.

Same here! The key is having backup medics ready. Most teams don't think about this.

The spawn rate data is incredibly helpful. I've been focusing on abandoned buildings and found 3 bandages in one session!
