Sudden Attack Zero Point Early Access Launch Week

Sudden Attack Zero Point is hours away from Steam Early Access. As of late July 2026, Steam lists the planned unlock around July 29, 2026 (app 3576070), while Nexon Japan press materials highlight July 30 for regional messaging. Treat those dates as the same launch window — exact hour depends on Steam publish time and your store region. This page is the launch-week ops guide: preload, day-zero content, anti-cheat, and a first-72-hour plan that links every major wiki system.

If you only want the long-form product overview, use Early Access Guide. If you need season timing after go-live, use Roadmap 2026.

Confirm your unlock hour

1. Open the Steam store page and read the live countdown.
2. Wishlist if you have not — Steam notifies when the build unlocks.
3. Verify your account region can see the download button (South Korea remains on a separate domestic track in public materials).
4. Follow saz.nexon.com and Discord discord.gg/saz-official for same-day maintenance tweets.

Japan players should also watch saz.nexon.com/ja-JP and the Nexon Japan announcements that cite the July 30 window.

Preload and install checklist (before unlock)

Complete these while the store still says “Coming soon”:

1. Free disk space on an SSD — map loads matter every round.
2. Update GPU drivers and reboot once.
3. Link or create your Nexon account so Events & Rewards claim flows work on day one.
4. Read Nexon Game Security so kernel anti-cheat install does not surprise you on shared PCs.
5. Bookmark Getting Started and Practice & Bots for the warm-up path.
6. Draft one primary goal in the Loadout Planner — do not invent three builds on night one.

First 72 hours — recommended schedule

Hour 0–2 — Client health

• Install from Steam, accept EULA, complete Nexon Game Security prompts, reboot if required.
• Confirm you can reach practice mode even if live queues are congested.
• Claim any live Check-in on saz.nexon.com.

Hour 2–8 — Skills before SP shopping

• Practice range: one AR, one SMG, secondary swap drills.
• Bot TDM on both CQB maps, then Bot Bomb on all four bomb maps — Practice & Bots.
• One live TDM session only after bots feel boring.

Day 2 — Learn round language

• Queue Bomb Defusal with callouts from Bomb Defusal.
• Ignore Black Market luxury listings until you can name both sites on every map.
• Track SP income from matches + Playtime/Victory events.

Day 3 — First intentional spend

• Buy shared staples before exclusives — Items and Weapon Crates.
• Re-test parts in Practice after every purchase.
• Skim Updates for hotfixes; week-one patches often touch FPS caps, matchmaking, and AC false positives.

Launch-week traps to avoid

• Panic trading on inflated Black Market prices — wait 48 hours when possible.
• Skipping bots and feeding live lobbies while learning plant UI.
• Ignoring anti-cheat conflicts with other kernel drivers — see Nexon Game Security.
• Chasing Vampire Mode or clans on day one — those arrive later per Roadmap 2026 and Clans.
• Assuming Korea Steam parity — confirm store availability for your account.

Languages and client support

Steam lists interface support for English, Japanese, Spanish (Latin America), Portuguese (Brazil), Thai, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. Full audio is English-focused at listing time. This wiki localizes guides into en / ja / es / pt — Thai and Chinese readers still use the English or Japanese hubs until Nexon expands community docs.

Story beat at launch

The official cinematic opens on the funeral of John Hawk before cutting into bomb-defusal combat. Narrative context for Judith Hawk and seasonal storytelling lives on Story & Lore. Story does not change hitboxes — but seasonal cosmetics often ride those trailers.

Where official status updates land first

• Steam news for app 3576070
• saz.nexon.com announcements / patch notes
• Discord
• YouTube @Sudden_Attack_Zero_Point
• Regional X accounts such as @Suddenattack_ZP

This wiki mirrors confirmed changes into Updates — not rumor threads.

Launch week rewards players who preload, warm up, and spend SP with a plan. Treat July 29–30 as opening night for a six-month Early Access season — not the finished game.
