Overview[edit]
Craig is one of the two starting operators in DEAD: Doomsday Emergency Action Division. He’s the balanced, all-rounder archetype, with average movement speed and recoil, making him an accessible pick for new players.
Lore[edit]
Before the apocalypse, Craig worked as a warehouse foreman in Manchester. Known more for forklift races and terrible pub jokes than military prowess, his “combat experience” was limited to paintball weekends with friends.
When the rift to Hell opened and undead poured into the streets, Craig turned his warehouse into an impromptu fortress — stacking palettes of canned beans and repurposing power tools into weapons. Locals dubbed it the “bean bunker,” and it soon became a rallying point for survivors.
D.E.A.D. operatives noticed Craig’s knack for keeping people alive despite his lack of finesse. Recruited for his grit and reliability, Craig now fights on the frontlines, armed with determination and the world’s worst sense of humour.
Stats[edit]
- Max Speed: 2
- Recoil Mod: 1.0
- Taunt Sounds: 2 unique lines at start of match
- Hurt Sounds: 5 unique sounds
Playstyle[edit]
Craig’s even recoil and moderate speed make him a safe, forgiving pick. He doesn’t excel in one area, but his consistency lets players focus on experimenting with weapons and furniture.
Trivia[edit]
- First operator coded into the game.
- Placeholder name during development was “Operator 0.”
