Deep Dive: Modifiers, Music & More

[h3]How do modifiers impact gameplay?​[/h3]
With 38 modifiers and a thousand possible combinations, each Outpost presents unique challenges.

To give you a little taster, here are some examples:
  • Barbed Boundaries - your walls constantly damage zombies
  • Repopulation Doctrine - citizens contribute to the birth rate at all times
  • One Shot, One Kill - snipers do double damage




There are also some negative modifiers we are excited to see you play! For example:
  • Long-term Contracts - no unassigning allowed, except for horde nights
  • Long Lunchbreak - building construction and upgrades can only take place at night
  • Focused Onslaught - on blood moon nights ALL zombies go to either the left wall or the right wall


[h3]How do Difficulty Modes work?​[/h3]
Difficulty modes have always been a popular suggestion since Final Outpost began and we are happy to be finally introducing them with Final Outpost Definitive Edition.



Easy and Normal feature a new checkpoint system allowing players to save their progress throughout their survival journey.

  • Easy Mode involves a smoother start with the larger deer populations of Busy Forests and Beginning of the End attracting more survivors to your Outpost's gates
  • Normal and Classic Mode offer a balanced experience with Classic keeping the original mechanics where losing means starting over completely
  • Hardcore Mode ramps up the difficulty with Quieter Forests reducing deer reserves and Tougher Zombies increasing enemy health by 10%


Each difficulty mode has its own set of leaderboards and stamps can be collected as you play through each mode.

[h3]Introducing our first OST​[/h3]
Composer Ben Randall has created a brand new soundtrack for the game, featuring main menu and cutscene music, four in-game ambient tracks and dynamic combat music that reacts to the threat level on your walls.



Alongside a range of new sound effects, the new original soundtrack makes it that much easier to get totally immersed in Final Outpost.

[h3]Increased Game Speed Controls[/h3]
We've also included a new 10x fast-foward option for players who want to speedrun their Outpost. This doesn't come without risk, though! It's all too easy to miss a group of survivors or forget to assign your knife fighters...



That's all our Deep Dives! We'll be back on launch day :)
