No More Room in Hell 2 FAQ

No More Room in Hell 2 is an 8-player co-op zombie survival horror game by Torn Banner Studios. You play Responders scavenging objective maps at night, where infection is hidden, ammo is calibre-specific and scarce, and death is permanent for that Responder. It left Early Access with the 1.0 'Armageddon' update on August 11, 2026.

Yes. The 1.0 launch shipped with full cross-play across PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, per the official launch announcement.

Yes — two ways. You can queue Objective or Survival runs alone, and 1.0 added a dedicated Solo Mode: every map with zero permadeath risk and no traditional progression (Weekly Assignments still advance), built for learning maps and testing builds. The game is still designed around 1–8 player co-op.

Yes. Torn Banner reset all account progression to zero at the 1.0 launch so every player starts Armageddon fresh. Progression now runs through the new Assignments & Merits system alongside Responder levels.

The base price is $29.99 USD — Torn Banner confirmed before launch that the price would not increase at 1.0. To celebrate the launch it is 35% off ($19.49) from August 11 to August 25, 2026.

No. There has been no official announcement of a Game Pass (or PS Plus catalog) release — the game is a standard purchase on Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. If that changes it will come through official channels; we'll update this answer.

Yes — native controller support arrived on PC with the 1.0 console launch, including a bespoke gamepad control scheme, aim assist, and menu/UI reworks for larger screens. The same work improved Steam Deck and Steam Controller compatibility.

Yes, friendly fire is part of the game's hardcore identity — watch your firing lines in hordes. One official softening: since the 0.4.2 update, explosive damage (pipe bombs, IEDs, grenades) only deals a fraction of its damage to other Responders and cannot be lethal to them.

Up to 8 players in one run. Runs scale from solo up to a full squad of eight Responders.

Runs hold up to 8 players, but you spawn scattered and regroup organically — on the map, areas being worked by other Responders are marked (Pottsville shows a striped circle around a neighborhood that's occupied), and you form up as routes converge. Pre-made squads queue together via invites, squad leaders control deploy, and 1.0 added the option to mute players outside your squad.

Armageddon added Survival Mode with 3 dedicated maps (Flooded, Lighthouse, and a Night of the Living Dead farmhouse), the Raven Rock objective map, Solo Mode, a guided Tutorial, console launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, controller support, achievements, a rebuilt progression system (Weekly Assignments & Merits), the Rescue Beacon, difficulty renames (Beginner/Normal/Hard/Nightmare) and a broad performance pass including DLSS 4.5.

No. There is no promo-code or redeem-code system. When players search for 'codes' in this game they usually mean the door and gate codes generated inside each run — see our door codes guide for how those work and where to find them on every map.

If a Responder dies and isn't rescued, that character is gone with their gear and levels — you continue on a fresh Responder. 1.0 softened the edges by difficulty: Beginner has timed respawns, Normal respawns you after each major objective, and the Rescue Beacon loadout item can absorb one loss anywhere permadeath applies. On Hard and Nightmare, dead is dead.

Yes — delete from the Character tab to free one of your three slots. Their purchased loadout items are lost with them, so strip and use what you can first. Rerolling a new character's profession costs 50 credits.

There's no demo, but Torn Banner ran several free weekends during Early Access (including the April–May 2026 one that previewed Survival Mode) and has used them to drive big playtests. Post-1.0, the launch-window discount (35% off until August 25, 2026) is the current low-cost entry; watch official channels for future free weekends.

Yes — discord.gg/nmrih is the official server, and it's the fastest route for bug reports and squad-finding. Official support also runs through nmrih2.com/support.

Yes — it's the sequel to the free Source-mod classic, and it carries content forward: the 0.5.0 update added the sequel's own New York Broadway map continuing the original's most famous setting, and weapons like the Hatchet and Machete are in both games. But layouts, stats and routes differ completely between games — check which game a guide covers before following it. Original-exclusive maps like Cabin are not in NMRiH2.
