A Zombie Outbreak

Zombies smash through doors, players who die get back up infected, and fast red-glowing crawlers join later in the round. The threat is other players turning, not just the first wave.

Where it hitsAny map, indoors and streets
How to surviveKeep a door between you and the street, and never stand next to someone who is about to go down - the infected turn fast. Open ground with a group is worse than a closed room alone.

How the round plays out

  1. 1.Zombies start breaking through doors instead of waiting outside them.
  2. 2.Players who die get back up infected, so the crowd turns against itself as the round goes on.
  3. 3.Fast red-glowing crawlers join later, which is when holding a doorway stops working.

Where it kills you: Doorways and groups. A door buys time against the first wave and nothing against crawlers, and standing beside someone who is about to turn is how a safe room becomes a death trap.

What to do in the 30-second head start

  • ›Pick a room with one entrance and a second way out.
  • ›Keep space from other players instead of clustering at the door.
  • ›Count the crawlers when they appear — that is the signal to abandon the room, not defend it harder.

If you are already caught out: Leave the room before the crawlers box you in. Running into the street is survivable; being cornered indoors is not.

Worst maps for it: Suburban Neighborhood — enclosed houses with single doors are the trap, and the streets give crawlers room to run.

Surviving is half preparation and half knowing the map — see the map list and the round guide for the 30-second head start.
