Darkness

Darkness is a persistent currency in Hide or Die, used to unlock and level up perks.

Unlike credits which are saved as soon as they are looted in the world, darkness earned in a match can be lost upon dying.

In Escape mode, survivors need to successfully escape the map via one of the exit stations to keep any collected darkness; those who choose to become a hunter at the end keep their darkness automatically.

In Last Man Standing mode, only the winner keeps their darkness, making the mode more of an all-or-nothing gamble.
