Outbreak Survival! [Easter Event update] [patch 2.9.000]

Outbreak Survival Easter Event update!

First of all let's give CarterTheHippo a round of applause for managing to create a new map for every new update since the Winter Event! He also has a new map for the Easter Event, but it's not ready yet. Outbreak Survival has also managed to push out a new major content patch every month, and in some cases more frequently like the Valentine's update. This is also quite the occasion, it is the first time Outbreak Survival has managed to host an Easter event, and as usual there is lots of new content available.

The Easter event includes: 4 New Zombie classes, 8 new items, bug fixes, 3 new pets, balance changes, one new map, event spawns, and more!

The new event currency is Eggs. Find Eggs randomly spawned on all maps (except Oil Works), maybe if you're lucky you might find a rare Egg!

Rarer Eggs have a low percent chance to spawn, however they can contain Points, items, pets and other rewards!

Here are all the rare eggs you can obtain:

Blue Fabergé Egg: Grants the Blue Fabergé Egg pet once collected.

Gyax Egg: This egg gives a small amount of Points once collected.

Charles Babbage Egg: Gives you a substantial amount of Points once collected.

Cracked Egg: Grants the Cracked Egg pet.

Royal Fabergé Egg: Grants the Red Dragon pet.

Wanwood Egg: Once collected you'll get the legendary Staff of the Woodlands for free!

Golden Egg: Very rare allows you to get the ??? Zombie class for free. ??? class will be revealed and put on sale later during the event.

Zombie attack:

• New property added. This property, if enabled stops the buildup of any combo hits if the target is under the effect of that Zombie's special attack. (E.g, If a Magma Zombie has placed a DoT on a player, hitting that player will not build up any charge for the next DoT).
• This property currently only applies to the Snow Chugga Zombie.
