New Zombie Evolution Mode Update
It's our first new game mode in a while! Join this endlessly evolving battle between humans and zombies, where the S Virus changes everything.
  • Background
    • Despite efforts to stop Kronos Inc.'s Super Soldier Project, experiments continued. The S Virus, a new pathogen based on the Z Virus, has been discovered.
    • In small quantities, the S Virus lets humans use the powerful abilities of zombies without losing their intellect.
    • Kronos has been creating powerful boss zombies using the new virus. Agents tried their best to prevent this, but the S Virus was leaked during this process.
    • Now, a new battle between two sides using the S Virus unfolds.
  • New Zombie Evolution Map
    • Zombie Junk House
  • Basic Rules
    • Win Conditions
      • Zombies: Infect all humans
      • Humans: Survive until the round ends
    • New Rule
      • Zombies get infinite respawns. However, the respawn timer is increased if killed by Deadly Shot.
      • You can use powerful abilities by collecting and using S Virus.
  • Obtaining the Virus
    • Humans: Obtain S Virus when you score zombie kills or assists, or when you survive for a certain duration. The less humans remaining, the more you obtain.
    • Zombies: Obtain virus when you infect humans, or when you score human kills or assists. You can also get virus from Virus Essence that other zombies leave when they die.
  • Virus Stages
    • Your virus stage is displayed in the center of the screen. Virus stage tops out at stage 10 and persists until the end of the match.
  • Virus Effects
    • Your basic stats increase with your virus stage. (You can see your current stats by pressing L.) When zombies reach a high virus stage, their respawn time is slightly increased.
  • Virus Injection
    If you reach a certain virus stage (stage 2 for humans, stage 7 for zombies), press V to inject the virus into your body. This consumes virus stages but gives you new abilities.
    • Humans: Can inject up to 2 times to randomly obtain a zombie ability. This also grants a resistance to infection from zombies. The virus disappears from your body over time.
    • Zombie: Injecting the virus will transform you into a powerful mutant zombie. There are 2 types of mutant zombies, chosen at random.
      • Brutus: Has strong HP and Defense. Though it is slow, it is not knocked back or stunned by normal guns.
      • Arachne: Has a skill that allows quick movement. It can attack humans with double-jump and use spider webs to move in unexpected ways.
