Contagion Is Live: The Enclave Opens Barlowe

Four survivors approach a refuge while infected gather on a rain-soaked city street

Survival-Horror Field Brief

Some co-op games make the horde a shooting gallery. Contagion makes the horde a problem of judgment: where the team moves, what it carries, when it commits, and whether everyone is still together when the route closes behind them.

Dynamic runs

Built-in randomization changes the round, so map knowledge helps without removing uncertainty.

Traditional undead

Slow zombies create pressure through space, numbers, and bad decisions instead of sprinting spectacle.

Eight-player survival

The SEN server is public, password-free, VAC-secured, and sized for a full survivor group.

Why Contagion fits the Enclave

Contagion rewards the habits our community is built around: communicate early, share what matters, keep moving, and do not confuse individual firepower with group survival. Its objective modes ask players to escape, extract civilians, or survive a hunt, while its broad equipment pool keeps each run practical and improvised.

The first operation: Barlowe

The server opens on the Escape map Barlowe. Up to eight players can join without a password using a normal current Steam installation. The live server is publicly visible as Survivors Enclave Network and is protected by Valve Anti-Cheat.

Join the operation

Launch directly through Steam from the server page, or enter connect server2.survivorsenclavenetwork.com:27017 in the Contagion developer console.

Open the Contagion operation page for the connection button and current field details. New players can also find Contagion on Steam.

Enclave Code

We've set a few ground rules to ensure everyone has the best gaming experience possible. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with them:

  1. Respect Others: Treat everyone with respect. No harassment, bullying, or any form of discrimination will be tolerated.
  2. Racism / Bigotry / Sexual Harassment: We will not tolerate any form of outright hate speech, racism, or bigotry. All players should feel secure knowing they won't have to deal with distasteful remarks based on nationality, sexual orientation, gender, skin color, etc. We aim to correct any such situation on the spot and expect all players to amend their behavior accordingly. Anyone refusing to comply may be removed from our network immediately.
  3. Griefing / Trolling: Harassing other players with malicious intent is unacceptable. We understand that conflict is a part of the game, but there is a point when it must end. Any activities that could be seen as griefing or trolling will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.
  4. No Cheating: Any hacking, exploiting game glitches, or using third-party software to gain an unfair advantage will lead to an immediate ban. Players exploiting any bugs will receive a strict warning. Continued exploitation will result in removal from the server.
  5. No Spamming: Don't flood the chat with messages or advertisements.
  6. Language: Keep your language clean. No offensive, abusive, or hate speech is allowed.
  7. Safe Content: Keep all content PG-13. Explicit, violent, or disturbing content is strictly prohibited.
  8. Cooperation: Play fair and cooperate where required. Griefing, team-killing, or disrupting gameplay in any way is not acceptable.
  9. Admin Abuse: We expect our admins to take their role seriously and to maintain a fair, competitive, and fun gaming environment. Any abuse of admin powers will lead to immediate removal upon review of the offense.
  10. Account Responsibility: You are responsible for your account's actions. If your account breaks the rules, you will face the consequences irrespective of who was using the account.

If you see another player breaking these rules while playing, report them to a mod or admin immediately. Failure to comply with these rules may result in warnings, temporary bans, or permanent bans, depending on the severity of the issue. Let's work together to create a fun, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment. Happy gaming!
