Improved Hordes

Horde alert, Survivor!

There's been a sudden abundance of Zombies all over the place. Screamers are now popping up in major towns,

and we're finding sleepers on the road. Stay safe out there.

Features:

• []

  Improved hordes

  []Customizable hordes that scale in size and difficulty, with gamestage & biome progression, to keep the game feeling balanced.

  []

  World roaming hordes

  • []Hordes are now commonplace, you'll encounter many on your journey.

    []Each major POI zone (i.e. cities) has hordes moving in and out constantly, while screamers patrol the zone.

    []You will also find smaller roaming hordes in the wilderness. They may either be lost, or making their way to a city.

    []

    World Event System

    • []Heatmap-like system that attracts nearby hordes depending on heatmap activities occurring in certain areas. The number and size of the hordes depend on where the activities are occurring. Near a city? Expect huge hordes to wander around and find out what's going on in the neighborhood.

      []Screamers contribute a lot of heat if they spot you nearby, attracting hordes nearby. Make sure to take them down quick or you'll be having many hordes knocking on your door.

        Enhanced AI behaviors
