Muldraugh
Muldraugh is the classic survival proving ground — strung along a highway, generous with loot, unforgiving of laziness.
Town Layout
Muldraugh stretches along a main road, which means loot is plentiful but so is exposure. Buildings cluster near the highway, and the road itself funnels both you and the zombies.
Loot Quality
Muldraugh is rich in warehouses, stores and industrial sites. The famous large warehouse is a serious supply haul — and a serious zombie commitment. Plan the approach and the exit before you go.
Base Locations
Side streets set back from the highway offer quieter base options. The trade-off is constant: proximity to loot versus proximity to zombie density. Pick the quiet street and drive to the loot.
Beginner Viability
Muldraugh is survivable for newer players who stay disciplined, but it punishes over-looting and noise harder than Rosewood does. Treat it as the step up after a Rosewood run, not a first attempt.
