SPRAWL zero Guides Hub
Walkthroughs, controls, combat, and story pages for FIVE's campaign.
This hub is the map of every SPRAWL zero tutorial on the wiki. The game is a single-player Y2K shooter from MAETH and Kwalee. It launches September 8, 2026 on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Until then the best way to learn is the Steam demo, which includes The Graveyard and Buried.
If you just installed the demo, open Getting Started first. That page covers difficulty names, the one-gun rule, stims, and the first objective from commanding officer Laida. Then jump to the demo walkthrough so you are not guessing which wall to blow open.
How these guides are split
SPRAWL zero looks simple in trailers and then dumps a physics sandbox on you. We split the pain points the way players actually search:
- Controls — mouse, gamepad, throw bind, scan, and why there is no classic use key.
- Combat — squad AI, captains, flanks, and how to stop eating grenades in doorways.
- Abilities — Gravity Gloves, Bullet-Time, Gravity Shield, and Rushdown in unlock order.
- Enemies — Junta, IMAGO-DEI, Amalgams, airborne units, and why faction weapons matter.
- Story — FIVE, SILAS, the Junta, and how this prequel sits next to 2023’s SPRAWL.\n- Levels — Graveyard, Buried, and later chapters named on achievement lists.\n- Achievements — 60 public medals, Seraph Down, relics, optional challenges.\n\nEach of those pages links to the others. If a firefight is the problem, start in combat. If the gun in your hand feels like junk, leave this hub and open the weapon tier list. If the demo stutters, skip lore and read system requirements.
What the demo actually teaches
The Graveyard is the onboarding level: gravity punch, first disposable firearm, Bullet-Time, and the idea that ammo does not magically refill when you pick up a twin of the gun you just emptied. Buried is where the kit becomes a kit — Gravity Shield arrives, Junta specials show up, and enemy density stops being polite.
A full campaign walkthrough has to wait for September 8. Achievement lists already name later chapters such as Domination, Adusta Terra, God’s Light, Maeth, Eden, and Acrophobia. Treat those names as a spoiler-light roadmap, not a promise of encounter order. We will expand this hub after launch instead of inventing fights that are not in the demo.
How to use the rest of the wiki with these guides
Guides explain how systems work. Tier List ranks what to keep. Tools covers FOV, difficulty, and PC specs. Updates tracks the September 8 date and demo notes. Links points at Steam, Discord, and official channels.
If you only have forty minutes, this is the honest route: Getting Started, demo walkthrough, abilities, then weapons. If you have already finished Buried and want to play it again cleaner, skip to combat and builds.
Writing rules we follow here
We do not invent weapon names the developers have not shown. We do not pretend the full campaign is playable before September 8. We do not copy other wikis. Every how-to on this hub is grounded in the Steam page, the demo, official trailers, and publicly recorded gameplay.
When a mechanic is only visible in the demo, the page says so. When something is confirmed for the full game — more than forty weapons, mastery paths, relics, additional levels — we label it as launch-facing. That split is the difference between a useful guide and a trailer recap.
Read the getting started page next, then come back here when you need a different door into the same city.
