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.
- 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.
- Hordes are simulated throughout the world and load in when nearby.
- 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
- Hordes investigate interruptions to their current task as Zombies are a curious bunch.
- Hordes can also merge and split in size, depending on their goals as a collective.
These will be coming soon. Stay tuned for updates.
