Groups
A group lets you queue together as a fixed team — for example, a full squad of four survivors who want to play as a party.
Set up a team once so you can apply for matches together. In the 1v4 quartet format, four survivors who want to play as a party register themselves as a group, then queue as that group. You do not need a group to play — you can always queue on your own — but a group is how friends play together.
Where it happens
Section titled “Where it happens”In Discord, inside a private space the bot creates for your group. You gather the people you want on the team into that space, and create the group from there. This keeps group setup private to the people involved.
Everyone has to agree
Section titled “Everyone has to agree”A group is only created once every proposed member agrees. When you start the group, each person is asked to confirm. If anyone declines, or the confirmation window runs out, no group is made and you can try again. This means nobody is ever added to a team without their say-so.
A group is a fixed team
Section titled “A group is a fixed team”Once a group is created, its members are locked. You cannot add or remove people afterwards. If you want a different line-up — even just swapping one player — you create a new group with that set of people. You can rename a group at any time, but the membership never changes.
Groups are also permanent: there is no leaving, deleting, or archiving a group. This is deliberate — it keeps your match history stable, so a result from months ago still points at the exact team that played it.
Reusing a group
Section titled “Reusing a group”A group is reusable. Once it exists, the same team can queue together again and again without setting it up each time. You can belong to as many groups as you like — for instance, one for each set of friends you play with.
Solo or group?
Section titled “Solo or group?”- Solo — you apply on your own, and the service fills in the other players. Simplest if you just want a match.
- Group — you and your fixed team apply together, and play together. Use this to play as a party.
Either way, the next step is the same: see Matchmaking and Readiness.
Trouble?
Section titled “Trouble?”See Account and Group Troubleshooting for group creation, consent, and membership problems.
