9 TO DIEFacilities Build
What is the Facilities build?
Start on Wet Floor, then aim for HVAC Override, Sprinkler Test and Master Key from the Facilities pool. Add Balls in the Air and Sticky Notes from the shared skills. Put most talent points into Climate, and the rest into Grounds. Facilities has 150 health and ranks S tier on our arithmetic.
Facilities has the most health in the building at 150 and opens with Wet Floor, so you pick where the horde walks and let the floor do the rest. Caution signs are provided. Sympathy is a separate request.
Which skills and passives?
These six skills fill your six slots, and the six passives fill theirs. Passives that evolve one of your skills come first, since a skill evolves only at rank 5 with its partner owned. The remaining passive slots go to damage and cooldown, then whatever else is open.

How should I spend 51 talent points?
This plan puts points into Climate first, because it holds the most damage and cooldown talents of the three tracks. What is left goes into Grounds, reaching its first milestone. It is a legal spend under the game's own unlock rules, and respecs are free, so nothing here is a commitment.
Your career path has been mapped. It is a circle.

Which gear sets?
Facilities has five sets, one per rarity from Approved up, and Master Keyring is the first you can realistically finish. Wear four pieces for the stat bonus and eight for the change to how things play. Stars add 20 percent of a piece's stats each, so keep them for pieces you will wear for a while.

| Master Keyring | Approved | Move speed +10% | Dashes go further. Alarm will sound. It will not. |
| Return-to-Office Loyalist | Expensed | Armour +4% | Auras reach further. No walls, no doors, no escape. |
