[h3]New Zombie Conquest (beta) Mode Release[/h3] Zombie Conquest (beta)

  • Mode Rules
    - Humans earn points by capturing and holding bases, and zombies must prevent them from doing so. Each team will swap between playing as humans and zombies. The team that ends with a higher score wins.
    - Humans capture bases by occupying them. Each base has a maximum amount of points that can be earned. If this maximum is reached, the target base will cycle to the next one, and more time is added to the round. Points will be based on how many bases out of the 3 have been captured by the end of the round.
    - Base Disruption: Zombies enter bases to disrupt humans from capturing them.

  • Human Rules
    - Remember, getting hit by zombies hurts. If you get hurt too much, you die!
    - Dead humans may revive to rejoin combat after a waiting period.
    - For humans, weapon purchases will be restricted depending on base progression.
    - All humans will begin combat with the weapons supplied at the first base.
    - Once the second base is active, humans can decide whether they will use the unlocked weapons or keep the weapons they currently have.
    - When the third base is active, a previously selected ability will be enhanced for humans.

  • Zombie Rules
    - For zombies, class selection will be restricted depending on base progression.
    - You may only use normal zombies in the first base.
    - Light Zombie, Stamper, and Banshee are available for use in the second base.
    - Heavy Zombie, Voodoo Zombie, Rusty Wing, and Venom Guard are available for use in the third base.

  • Awakening
    - The Awakening gauge will charge as you play the game, and [V] will activate it.
    - The Awakening gauge will charge over time and can be accelerated through combat and capturing bases.
    - Awakening is available for both humans and zombies. Humans have a single, uniform effect, while zombies acquire different effects depending on the zombie class in use.

  • Additional Info
    - Teams will swap each round.
    - If the difference in score becomes too large to overcome, the game may end early.

  • Notice
    - Press [TAB] in game to check current restrictions, selected abilities, and Awakening effects.
