Yes, if you are logged in. Unused freeze and gun charges stay on your account across games and devices, with no expiry. Each activation uses one charge, even if no zombies are in range. Signing out hides your saved weapons; signing back in restores them. If you collect weapons as a guest, sign in before starting another game to save your unused charges. Guest weapons reset when you start a new game. You can collect and use weapons offline; account changes sync when your connection returns.
Badges earned while logged out are stored in this browser. Sign in to register eligible badges to your account and keep them across devices. Saving is complete only after server confirmation. Some earned badges are public on the leaderboard; GPS routes are not uploaded for badges.

Location access drives the game. Your real-world position decides where you are on the map. We do not store your GPS data on our servers. Recovery Spot placement may query OpenStreetMap/Overpass with nearby coordinates to find walkable roads or paths.

Your route and generated zombie replay positions stay in your browser. Spot discovery sends current game coordinates, including guest and mock play. Guest visits remain pending until you use the login button to save your score, badges and spots after the game; choosing not to log in leaves ownership unchanged. Spot locations and current ownership are public. Finished runs are saved in this browser's local storage so you can review and visualize them on this device. If you clear browser data, switch devices, or use another browser, those local runs may not be available. Recovery Spot placement may query OpenStreetMap/Overpass with nearby coordinates to find walkable roads or paths. If you log in and choose to save scores, we transmit score metadata (for example score, survival time, and horde settings) to power the public leaderboard.
