Confirmed Highlights📖 What this update delivered
The Ambulance Arrives ran June 12-15, 2026 and introduced the emergency ambulance arrival — a new type of shift where patients come to you in a rush wave instead of being worked one at a time. The developers listed one new anomaly alongside it, plus bug fixes and pacing changes to make a run flow better.
The ambulance is the change with the longest tail: rush waves can hit from Shift 4 onward, they put multiple critical patients on overlapping 120-second timers, and they are the reason triage advice exists on this site at all. A shift that used to be a steady queue can turn into a triage problem in under a minute, and the fix is to reject deliberately rather than to run faster.
FAQ
When can an ambulance arrive?
From Shift 4 onward. You get a siren and an on-screen banner, and then a rush wave of patients arrives together, which is why the overlapping 120-second critical timers are the real threat rather than the patient count itself.
Is the ambulance a one-time event from June 2026?
No. The June 12-15, 2026 window is when it was introduced, but the ambulance is a permanent shift type in the rotation. If you have ever had a run flood suddenly in a later shift, that is this system, not a limited event.
What is the best way to survive a rush wave?
Triage rather than speed: read every patient's status before acting, reject deliberately when the queue is overflowing, and pre-stock coffee for Sanity, cola for stamina and a Taser as anomaly insurance. Our emergency events guide breaks the roles down for solo and co-op runs.
How many patients arrive in one ambulance wave?
The developers have never published a fixed number, and wave size is not fixed in practice — it scales with the shift you are in and with how many players are on the server. That is why any page quoting one exact patient count for the ambulance is guessing.
What matters for planning is simpler: the wave can put more than one critical patient on a 120-second timer at the same time, so the queue you cannot triage is the real threat.
Can an ambulance arrive during a solo run?
Yes — solo runs still draw the event, and that is when it hurts most, because there is no second player to work beds while you stabilise someone.
The workable answer is discipline rather than speed: reject low-value patients early instead of letting them occupy a bed, keep coffee and cola in your quick-slots, and treat the smoke/priority banner as a signal to stop whatever optional task you were doing.
