The Survey Corps Guide

“One Day, We’ll Break It Down. This Wall Hiding The Truth… Will Fall.” — Erwin Smith

Welcome to a world overrun by Titans, where survival is key. To defeat these creatures you arm yourself with the necessary tools: craft weapons such as thunder spears and ultrahard steel blades, and climb the ranks as you kill Titans.

Debut: 16 March 2022.

The Survey Corps uniform is the base gear for fighting Titans. It comes in several pieces (hood, cape, harness, boots), each craftable and part of the Survey Corps / Uniform category.

See All Items & Features for the full item list.

The Omni-Directional Mobility (ODM) gear is the signature Scout weapon. Blades deal a fatal blow when struck into the back of a Titan’s nape, but a blade breaks after a single use and must be reloaded.

ODM has been heavily reworked across versions — see the ODM page and the changelogs. (Full ODM item page is not present in the public Notion wiki; details below are cross-referenced from changelogs.)

Titan kills increase your rank. Kills reset when you die (configurable, see below).

Titans killed Rank
1 Soldier
10 Veteran
25 Team Leader
40 Officer
70 Squad Leader
100 Vice Captain
200 Captain

The signal flare is a pistol-like firearm using pre-loaded colour barrels. Each colour communicates a message:

Colour Meaning
Red A Titan is spotted
Black An Abnormal Titan is spotted
Green Change the direction of the formation
Purple Help is needed — an emergency
Blue Order to retreat
Yellow The mission has ended

See Signal Flare for crafting and loading.

The Cannon is built into walls and fortifications. It is a strong defensive tool that can also break blocks, but has a slow firing speed and a long cooldown. It is built using the Wrench.
