Contagion News

Fixes where zombie riots keeps on spawning like crazy. This was not a feature, thank you Byo for reporting it right away!

This update will finally mark this game as "Feature Complete", after 10 whole years. There are more things we want to do for Contagion, but due to lack of funding and resources, we can only sadly support the game for another 2-3 months (if lucky, until October next year).

However, if anybody is interested of supporting the development of Contagion and maybe/hopefully for Contagion 2 (plus the new Zombie Panic! and/or other monochrome upcoming games), please do support me (the author of this article) on Patreon! Remember, this is fully optional. You can also find the Patreon goals here, if you want to take a read.

That's all from me! But I do hope you will enjoy this update, and hopefully, more updates in the future.

After reaching the safety of the mansion's basement, you knew you had a feeling that something doesn't feel right. But that won't stop you, or your team to finally reach the dam which was so close, yet so far away. Helping this "Callahan" may be your only hope going forward, but can he really be trusted...


[h2]New Survivor[/h2]
Elijah H. Mitchell, is a new character for Contagion. Voiced by CubicTuxedo!
Cpt. Elijah is the remaining surviving member of his squad that was trying to contain the situation in Barlowe Square.



[h2]New Weapons[/h2]

Defibrillator and Self Revive are brand new items that has first been designed for Flatline and Campaign, but the defibrillator was later on added for the new gamemode Horde Mode.

Defibrillator can spawn for Escape, Panic! and Extraction if survivor_allow_defib is enabled. This command is only meant for dedicated servers, and not lobby games. However, this command can be enabled manually if so desired, but will not show up on the lobby settings.

Defibrillator and Self Revive are items that are dropped by the "doctor zombie", just like the medkit except with lower spawn %.

Note: Defibrillator will refuse to spawn in Hunted, as it's not designed for it.



[h3]Campaign: Last Stop[/h3]

After 2 years, the entire campaign of Last Stop is now finally complete! This campaign wouldn't have made it this far without the help of Nicolas Nugent, so big thanks to him for helping out with the level design!

And also big thanks to CubicTuxedo for additional voices for the military radio, Dr.Callahan and the rescue chopper!

And for those who have already played up to the mansion map, you do not need to restart the campaign session to get the achievement. You can continue from the mansion, and it will automatically count the already completed maps. This also applies to everyone who you played with too, so you do not need to start your own session to get said achievement(s).


[h3]New Gamemode: Horde Mode[/h3]

A brand new gamemode called Horde Mode has arrived! Survive as long as you can and gain the best time possible!

If you have ever played Left 4 Dead's Survival, then this is quite similar to that where you need to activate the round for the horde to arrive. Very basic concept, but its fun and it just works. The main big difference is that the zombies start slow, but every 6-ish minutes, they slowly become faster and faster, until shit hits the fan.
