Gun Up

A zombie outbreak has overrun the city of New Horseon. With access to improvised and experimental weaponry, your only goal is simple: survive for as long as you can.

Core gameplay

• Continuous enemy fight. Enemies spawn nonstop around you, with spawn speed increasing every wave. The old break-between-waves structure is gone.
• XP and level-ups. Kills drop XP gems. When you level up the game pauses and you pick one of several upgrade cards: new weapons, perks, potions and more.
• Card rerolls. You can reroll the offered cards (rerolls come from permanent upgrades).
• Luck and Curse. Luck adds extra card choices and better drops. Curse makes enemies tougher but gives more XP, and it rises additionally on its own every 10 waves.
• Two modes. Default (30 minutes) and Quick (10 minutes, same 30 waves).
• Power-ups. Enemies can drop Max Ammo, Nuke, Magnet and Free XP pickups.
• Regeneration. Health now regenerates after a few seconds without taking damage.
• Player classes. SWAT, Thug, Worker and Teddy, each with its own health, energy and speed.
• Sprint and energy. Running uses an energy bar.

Boss and escape

• The Butcher. In the final minute everything else vanishes and the Butcher walks in. He has slams, leaps, bone volleys, ground-zone barrages and, later, a bullet ring. He gets faster and meaner in three phases.
• Evacuation helicopter. If the timer runs out, a helicopter arrives and everyone has to get on it before the area is nuked. Killing the Butcher also wins the match.
• Results screen. It shows time survived, wave reached, kills, damage, MVP and the coins you earned.

Weapons and arsenal

• Many new guns. A large batch of weapons, melee weapons and utilities, all with new art.
• Weapon fusion. Combine two weapons into one with a fusion screen that rolls the new stats. Certain pairs unlock special fusion weapons. Discovered recipes are tracked.
• Auto-use systems. Pick passives that work on their own: automatic grenades, mines, shockwaves and a medic.
• Utilities. Grenades, claymores, molotovs, monkey bomb, Infinibear, sentry turrets and stim shots.

Enemies

• Bigger roster. Hasty, fat and tanky zombies, the Astro, Hound, Beastmaster, Shrouder, splitters, juggernauts, medics and more. Many have unique abilities.
• Scaling. Enemy health and damage scale with Curse and with the number of players.

Meta Progression

• Coins. You earn coins from damage dealt, with a bonus for killing the Butcher.
• Permanent upgrades. Spend coins on base health, base energy, base speed, card rerolls, Luck and Curse.
• Armory. Unlock additional weapons and utilities.
• Achievements. Around 30 new achievements. Some unlock armory items.

Co-op and online

• Co-op for up to 4. Downed players come back as ghosts and respawn next to a teammate after 60 seconds.
• Smoother online play. Remote players and enemies now move smoothly even at low update rates.
• Slow-connection friendly. The host sends each player only the enemies near them and lowers the update rate when there are too many.
