Gameplay

The humans objective is to survive against other humans on the map. The werewolves take on the role as another human with an axe, and after a select time interval, they transform into werewolves and hunt the other players down.
As the map closes in, humans may acquire more supplies from supply drops across the map. Werewolves also have a higher healthpool than the humans, and are the only class that can regain health by consuming bodies.[6]
