Patch 2.8.200 - Major Patch

Secrets be gone update.

For a long time secrets have been a very viable way to win the game. Finding a secret teleporter that no one knows about and waiting there until the round is over is a common tactic among experienced players.

However for those that don't know the teleporter it provides a frustrating gameplay experience, that often leads to people leaving due to getting bored from not being able to get near the enemy.

On the flip side, quite a few seasoned players get angry whenever new players are shown where the secrets are. It creates an elitist environment which creates a negative effect on gameplay.

To combat this without removing secrets completely, many of the secret areas that players find hard to deal with will have alternate pathways opened up during the end stages of the game.

To help with this a new stage; stage 6 has been added to the game. In a round with 10 minutes, stage 6 will be at 1 minute or 60 seconds (whichever you prefer).

Here are some examples of the changes: In PowerOut, most people don't know how to get to the hidden area inside the Cinema. Without making it easier to find, at Stage 4 players will be able to attack the desk (placed in such a way that humans behind it won't shoot it by accident), if the desk is destroyed, the invisible barrier will vanish allowing players to enter and attack humans inside. The teleporters will also be deactivated stopping the players from escaping.

In Autumn wind, the area under the hill at stage 5; will have an attackable paint bucket cased in ice , destroying it will allow you to use this new paint bucket to quickly enter the area under the hill.

In both cases players have to actually defend and destroy the attacking zombies if they don't want them to enter the secret areas.

Here's a list of maps that have these types of changes:

Autumn Wind

PowerOut

Toxic Spill

Changes:

Gravity Zombie:

• Jump velocity for ability increased.
• Overdrive Version now won't float forever (hopefully).

Gravity Lock Zombie:

• Weapon will no longer create an infinite CC boolean.
• Weapon will now bounce correctly and can hit multiple targets before being destroyed.

Map changes (Detailed):

PowerOut:

• Cinema / theatre area can now be breached by attacking the desk at stage 4. Desk gets partially destroyed along with the teleporters being disabled.
• Computer teleport: Can destroy the generator at stage 5 which will blow up part of the wall and create a ladder. Jumping down from that area as a human will make you trip. Teleporters get destroyed as well.
• Janitors closet, placed above ground and inserted into a wall. Can destroy the door at stage 5. Teleporter becomes inactive if you do so.

Autumn Wind:

• Frozen paint bucket will become attackable at stage 5. Destroying the ice will disable the other teleporter and make this one the default for entering the hill zone.

Toxic Spill:

• Vertex Array coded most secret areas to be destroyed at stage 4 anyway, but the area under the hill will have ladders leading to it if zombies manage to destroy the generator.

Winter Castle: 

• Will be removed in patch 2.8.300.

Builder Town:

• Will be removed in patch 2.8.300.

Castle Front: 

• Will return in patch 2.8.300.
• Water now deals damage over time instead of instant kill near the spawn area.
• Added fireplace and particle effect from Winter Castle.
• Added Teleport fix from Winter Castle.
• Added a raised floor to the crate area, allowing players to shoot through them properly.
• Removed seats from most benches like in Winter Castle.
• Removed unnecessary unions from the map like in Winter Castle.
• Added the new larger Safe Room to Castle Front from Winter Castle.

Patch 2.8.100 - Major Patch

Health Potion changes:

• Like the original system, the Health Vulnerability will now only be removed 1.5 seconds after drinking, if you reach max health early.
• Sandvich now follows the same system as the regular health potions. Cannot jump while using.
• Chocolate Armour now has Health Vulnerability while drinking. You are also forced to stand still (can't jump) and restores health gradually instead of all at once.

Points images now show the correct value when buying them (from before all Points for Robux rates were doubled).

Code changes:

• Inserted the structure to handle weapon skins.
• Zombies can now make use of the new daze on x hits property

Class changes:

• Brute Zombie has daze on third hit.
• Regular Zombie has daze of fifth hit.
• Tagger Zombie has daze on seventh hit.
• Striker has daze on sixth hit.
• Anti-Armour has daze on sixth hit.
• Whiplash has daze of fifth hit.
• Fast Zombie has daze on tenth hit.
• Bullet Zombie has daze on tenth hit.
• Default values for all classes are *0.6 slow and 1.5 duration (Much less than classes with Daze by default).

Bomb Frog Zombie:

• Bombs now timeout and explode after 8 seconds instead of 16. (Explosion works).
• Fixed the error, where the explosion code wasn't called when the player has been Bomb Frogged.

Freeze Mine:

• No longer has the Crystal Tag for extra damage, uses the same Freeze code as the Staff items meaning it will no longer create a large block but instead the small mesh.
• Because of this change Ice Zombies can no longer be frozen by Freeze Mines.

Crystal Mine:

• Uses similar code to the Freeze Mine, has a crystal mesh that doesn't increase hitbox size.
• Has unique crystal mesh for easy identification.

Freeze Changes:

• Freeze did not create a Frozen Tag, meaning the Frost Buster weapon did not work at dealing extra damage to Frozen targets. Freeze now creates the appropriate Frozen Tag.

CC fixes:

• Fixed the glitch where Freeze would create a CC value and not remove it, when nothing 

Fixed Magma Blade from not awarding kills or assists. It did not add the attacking player to the tag, meaning credit was unable to be given.

Added two new properties to the Players: DamageMultiplier and DefenceMultiplier.

Tried to rotate the Hippo Pet...

Outbreak Survival [2.8.000 Final Stand Update Patch notes]

27/02/2016
----
Patch 2.8.000

This update only features community ideas, models and maps. (Aside from the one weapon from December; the Rage Shotgun).

New features:

Two new Zombie classes have been added.

• Bomb Frog Zombie. It's been a while since we've had any mutations in the game. This Zombie, like the Frog Master will be a Mutation of the Decay Zombie. It will be able to launch red frogs which will explode if no one touches them. (16 seconds until detonation). Any frogs that are eaten by the player will turn them into a living bomb. After 8 seconds that player will explode, dealing 15 damage to themselves and anyone around in a large explosion radius. Stage 3
• Assassin Zombie: Stage 3, this Zombie is fast (19) and has moderate health (115), however it's damage is low (5). On every second hit this Zombie will be cloaked making it transparent and harder to see while also increasing damage to 8 and reducing speed to 17 for 8 seconds. Has a 3 second cooldown period between cloaks.

Three new items:

• Fists of Justice: Punch your way through the Zombie horde with these fists made by Carter!
• Cup of Soup. Someone wanted soup in the game. Here you go. Works like Cookies, except weighs 1 more (3w versus 2w) but can be used more often (30 seconds CD versus 40).
• Rage Shotgun: Slightly weaker than normal shotguns, but has the added bonus of having a rage meter. The meter builds up from damage done, once full you can activate it to gain increased fire rate and reload times.

New map:

• Last Stand. This new map made by Carter tasks Survivors with trying to stop the wave of Zombies from capturing the control point-flaming-bin-things. Once captured the Zombies will seize the area taking control of it and moving their spawn points forward.

New Status effects:

• Bomb Frog GUI
• Soup GUI
• Small fire DoT GUI

New music:

• Special soundtrack for Carter's map.
• New epic deploy soundtrack.

Fixes:

• Possibly fixed the glitch where unlocked Breaker Zombies cannot be selected.

Changes:

• Water item now heals 10HP if no fire is present.
• Toned down the Fire DoT GUI overlay.

27/02/2016
----
Patch 2.8.001

Epic deploy music now has 4x chance of showing up.

Updated Toxic Spill to fix teleporters.

Fixed bomb frogs.

All Developer products that sell Points have been doubled. (E.g 5 Robux / 75 Points is now 5 Robux/ 150 Points).

Added Carter's code change to the Assassin Zombie, now has particle and sound effects.

Fixed clipping in Zombie menu.

28/02/2016
----
Patch 2.8.002

Fixed the game from being broken.

Assassin Zombie now has the correct animations.

Magma Zombie now can only apply the Burn DoT once per target.

Healing Vulnerability reduced to x2 damage down from x2.5.

All Health Potions remove Burn.

All Health Potions remove the Healing Vulnerability upon finishing drinking.

Brute Zombie Changes: Health increased to 800 up from 600.

Heartbreaker Health reduced to 90 down from 100.

Outbreak Survival: Human classes and why there's only one.

For quite some time people have often asked why there is only one class to select, or why can we select any classes at all. More Human classes could be added in the future, but not in the way you think!

Here's a brief overview on the original concept of human classes. Before Armour was added, it was my intention to add new classes to the game that would allow the player to try out different play styles. Each class would be limited to equipping certain items, with Starter items being accessible to all classes. The Survivor unless otherwise stated would be the only class that could use Basic items.

The first human classes were as follows:

Survivor: What you see today. (16 spd, 100hp, 20 weight). Would be allowed to equip Basic items.

Assault: Slightly faster than survivor, and can equip Assault weapons but can't carry as much weight. Possibly had less HP too.

Heavy: Can use Heavy weapons. Slower than the Survivor and can take slightly more damage. This class would be based around using powerful but high weight items. This class might of had a higher amount of weigh units.

Defender: Can use Defence items, had the highest amount of HP and was also slower compared with the Survivor. This class was based around taking damage and preventing other team members from taking damage too. This class might of had a higher amount of weigh units. This class might have also been able to use Basic items

Medic: Was going to have half the weight units (10), but came default with a free (0 weight) healing tool of your choice. Probably had similar stats to the Survivor and could have possibly used Basic items. Would earn extra Points for healing.

Support items may have been switched for only Medics and/or another Support class to use, and any generic items from this category would have been moved to a new Utility category. (For items such has HP potions, Freeze Star etc).

VIP items would most likely be able to be used by all classes, but some restrictions may have had to be made.

More classes may have been added as time went on as well.


However, along came the 2.1 update with Armour...

Armour allowed you to customise your character with desired stats. For example if you wanted more Protection Armour rather than Defence then you could pick one that does the job, or if you needed a special ability like speed you could pick the Coffee Armour which gives you a short speed boost on demand in exchange for not being as durable as other armour pieces.

As Kyrie said during his stream when asked about classes, Armour pretty much replaces classes now especially with the amount of item choices that are in the game. Players can essentially create their own classes now, which would make these a bit redundant.

Another large problem with adding these with the current state of the game is balancing. Say for example a Player had a 100% win rate and using a particular class and wearing Armour X, with weapon Y, and VIP item Z. Which item would be at fault? Would the class have to be changed? The armour nerfed? One of the weapons? It adds another unnecessary layer to be balanced around and would complicate the game when adding new content.

The second problem would be identification. In class based games usually the class looks a certain way and you can easily identify what it is by looking at it's outfit, shape, weapons or silhouette. In Outbreak Survival players wear their own hats, clothes, packages, from the Roblox catalogue which would make it really confusing for newer players to understand what they are fighting.

Experienced players might also get confused. They could be fighting this slow class and decided to play a tanky zombie to reduce damage taken, but find out the slow class is not a Heavy it's a Defender and they should have used something else. Or it could have been an Assault class (fast) using an armour piece that makes them slower.

However despite all this classes are not off the table forever. The ideas above will probably be recycled for Outbreak Survival 2 whenever or if ever that is made. Classes in Outbreak Survival could work, but they would need to be very different from the customisable ones above.

In the current game as it is today, classes could only work if they had fixed stats like the original, but were unable to use the same Inventory system as a survivor. What they would instead be is characters that have pre-determined weapons and items kind of like how Weapon Sets were originally supposed to be.

For example if there was a "Ducky Pirate class" (probably wouldn't happen due to already having a buyable Weapon Set with the same name, but it's just an example) and you selected it, it would spawn you into the game as that character with appropriate items. (Ducks and pirate stuff I guess).

If classes were to be added in the future that is the way they would most likely be added in Outbreak Survival 1. Which could very well mean in a future update.

Outbreak Survival [2.7.000 Valentine's Update Patch notes]

13/02/2016
----
Patch 2.7.000
Not the community update. Community updates moved from 2.7 and 2.8 to 2.8 and 2.9 respectively.

Valentine's Update

Bold = New additions post release

New features:

Two new Zombie classes have been added.

• The Heartbreaker Zombie; Stage 2 class capable of granting a "heart" on each hit. Once 3 hearts are generated they will be consumed and explode dealing minor AoE damage to any humans nearby.
• Scuba Zombie: Stage 3 class that doesn't take damage from most water sources. Has a Shark Shooter weapon that fires sharks; which can stun Humans and if hit multiple times, apply a short bleed DoT.

New revamped community made map; Whiteout [Thanks to Carter for improving the models!]

New game mechanics:

• Hearts. Hearts are created with certain attacks, two players that are tagged with a heart and come into contact with eachother; will both explode dealing direct damage to each other and AoE damage to all other players of the same team nearby.
• Blizzard. The new map has a chance to spawn a Blizzard, the severity of the Blizzard is randomised meaning it could just be light snow, heavy snow or heavy snow + slow movement while outside.

Four new pets:

• Teddy Bloxpin: Redeemable via a code.
• Heart Balloon: Can be bought for Points.
• Sir Hippo: Easter egg pet.
• McSnuggles: Easter egg pet.

Four new event weapons:

• Matchmaker: Fairly weak bow that can apply a single Heart to each enemy hit.
• Heartcrusher: Deals damage and has the ability to remove a single Heart. This instantly damages the target for twice the single target Heart damage, but removes the AoE.
• Heart Bomb: Can be thrown dealing minor damage to Zombies, but applies a stack of Heart to any hit players (even on the same team). Any character reaching 3 stacks will have the same effect as the Heartbreaker attack.
• Chocolate Rifle: It's just your average Rifle, but it can shoot chocolate!
• These new items can be bought from the Basic shop.

Two new armour pieces:

• LavaResistArmor: This Armour can resist the effects of lava damage.
• Chocolate Armour: Upon use (F) this armour will remove 5 Defence and restore 50 HP. Tasty.

One new game image.

One new game advert.

Pet changes:

• Fireworks2016 can now be bought for Points for those that missed the code.

Balance changes:

• Proton Pistol: Accuracy increased [0.03 down from 0.04]. Reload Time is reduced by 0.5 seconds up from 0.1 seconds for each Proton Collider KO. Ammo gain increased by 15 up from 12. Damage increased to 38 up from 35.
• Freeze Staff: Works off of a new Freeze code that ALL freeze weapons use (Star, Staff, Ice Zombie). Can now be thawed early (currently no items that do this), frozen part now smaller, frozen part no longer drastically increases hitbox.
• Frost Buster: Now deals x8 damage vs Frozen Targets up from x4.
• Ice Zombie: Freeze Staff cooldown increased to 12 seconds up from 8 seconds.
• Blitz Zombie bonus speed now halved. 

Zombie changes:

• Unique attacks of the Magma and Snow Chugga are now accounted for in the normal Basic Attack, meaning these classes can take advantage of the "hold mouse down to attack" feature.
• Magma Zombie's burn DoT now can grant Kills or Assists and counts towards damage done.

Code changes:

• Zombie Morph Module now works with the new Zombie variables.
• Freeze Staff is now more efficient and runs off of less scripts.

Map changes:

• New daze particle for when you are stunned by a Zombie attack.
• Freeze Staff has new frozen mesh, along with Frozen and Thaw sound effects.

UI Changes:

Zombie Morph GUI:

• Shop top border colour now changed to a shade of blue.
• Zombie damage now displays as damage per hit instead of damage per second.
• Zombie damage for those classes that have the "Double Strike" animation will still display as double their single target damage. (This accounts for both arms hitting the target, since they swing one after the other).

Fixes:

• Oil Works teleporter now doesn't trap players.
• Team doors fixed once and for all.
• Zombie slow amount was not affected by individual classes durations (oops), this meant that Kaboom Zombie's supposedly lower than average stun actually became the full 3 seconds instead of the class specific 2.

• Edit: Applied this fix to ALL items.

----
Patch 2.6.015

Removed the previous Stage 0 fix, since I found an instance where it wouldn't work.

Added a  new stage 0 fix that checks every time you click the "Join" button to see if there's 0 Humans, and for if the game is still playing.

Outbreak Survival [Stage 1 Zombie changes 2.6.014 Volcanic Survival Patch notes]

Zombie stage 1 rebalance.

It's come to my attention that a few of the classes may need a few tweaks to them. Starting off are the stage 1 classes.

For Core classes we have: Regular Zombie, Kaboom Zombie and Tagger Zombie.
For Mutations we have: Crab Zombie.
For Unlocks we have: Crawler Zombie.

Current stats:

Regular Zombie
125 Health
17 WalkSpeed
8 damage per hit (1 second slash rate).

Crab Zombie -- Mutation
175 Health
16 WalkSpeed
7 damage per hit (1 second slash rate).

Kaboom Zombie
170 Health
15 WalkSpeed
8 damage per hit (1.5 second slash rate).
Can daze. Lasts for 3 seconds, and slows by 60%.
OnDeath: Explodes dealing 30 damage to all survivors around it.

Tagger Zombie
100 Health
16 WalkSpeed
6 damage per hit (1 second slash rate).
Special attack: Can fire tagger rounds that track humans during the game.

Crawler Zombie -- Unlock
175 Health
Defence: 20% Block.
14 WalkSpeed
7 damage per hit (1 second slash rate).
Can daze. Lasts for 2 seconds, and slows by 60%.
Crawling animation. Harder to hit.

Regular Zombie is the base class we are currently balancing the other's against. Crab trades speed and damage for extra early game health. Kaboom is slow but explodes on death. Tagger trades everything for the ability to tag humans and reveal their location, Crawler is meant to be an early game tanky class, able to withstand more damage.

Kaboom Zombie was nerfed in the past since it could slow for 70% and could swing faster.

Crawler Zombie has been asked for a nerf by some and a buff from others. What most people don't realise is the fact it has 20% block, this is due to the Zombie GUI not displaying the armour or defence attributes anywhere.

For the new stats Regular, Crab and Kaboom are going to remain the same. Since for now they are fairly balanced in their current state. Below I will post the new changes, as well as reasoning why at the end.

Tagger Zombie
100 Health
16 WalkSpeed
8 damage per hit (1 second slash rate) [Up from 6]

Crawler Zombie
200 Health [Up from 175]
Defence: 0% [Down from 20%]
14 WalkSpeed
6 damage per hit (1 second slash rate). [Down from 7]

Tagger Zombie didn't have much use aside from tagging targets. Now it only trades 25HP and 1 WalkSpeed for the ability to tag.

Crawler Zombie has had defence removed, but instead gained 25HP. This puts it above Crab in terms of health and as a tradeoff has one less WalkSpeed. After this a further one WalkSpeed is removed since this class can daze as well being smaller in size, meaning it's harder to hit.

Lastly Crawler now deals 6 damage, removing its use as early game damage, and moving more towards survivability.

I hope these changes work out better overall. In the future once the new 6.0 Weapon System is out, the damage and health of all classes will probably be changed since all weapons will most likely deal more damage.

Further stage changes may occur over the upcoming weeks.

Outbreak Survival [2.6.013 Volcanic Survival Patch notes]

02/02/2016
----
Patch 2.6.013:

Code changes:

Survivor Regenerate Health code changes:

• Functions the same, but is more efficient (won't run if it doesn't need to).
• Instead of healing X amount per Y seconds. It will now regenerate [X health / Y seconds] every second. 
• Still regenerates the same amount, but the effect will be a constant increase of HP every second instead of short bursts every 5.
• Health code is configurable, allowing for other scripts to edit the Regeneration Rate,  Health Amount and Out of Combat Cooldown values.

Music player:

• Fixed heroic game music from playing when you're in the lobby.

Outbreak Survival [2.6.012 Volcanic Survival Patch notes]

01/02/2016
----
Patch 2.6.012:

Lobby changes:

• Lobby has new floor design, removing the smooth plastic and adding a material. Lines have been made darker to give the worn appearance. 
• Surrounding walls have been given a texture.
• Hexagons have been placed on the floor in other areas.
• Leaderboard is now a hologram blue colour.

Survivor cafe changes:

• Added food decoration items to the cafe.

• 
  
• Added Easter egg that appears when entering a certain number or above on the till.

Code changes:

• Found the final stage 0 causing bug. The game will no longer freeze.

Map changes:

• Voltrix Base has been updated to the latest version. Many improvements have been made here.

Outbreak Survival [2.6.011 Volcanic Survival Patch notes]

Patch 2.6.011:

More stage 0 fixes.

Stopped a few while true do loops from running after deletion.

Tweaked the sludge abilities somewhat.

New updated Voltrix Base map: Has many new features which will help bring the difficulty down.

Fixed Inventory glitch.

Outbreak Survival [2.6.010 Volcanic Survival Patch notes]

Game changes:

Added the new 2.0 Safe Room.

Safe Room has new internal decorations, as well as more space for survivors to spawn in, which will hopefully eliminate the issue where players spawn above the room. It also has interactable curtains, and the safe room door now swings open using C-Frame.

Added kill floors below all maps.

Oil Works changes:

• Moved the safe room inside the ship.
• Added stage 5 ladders to the ship's roof.
• Old safe room is still there but broken.

Bolt-On Town changes:

• Made the teleporters from the safe room to take you underground, instead of above ground.

Autumn Wind changes:

• Possibly fixed the electric door not working.

Made a contingency failsafe that imports a locallly stored Communal Town map if LoadAsset fails in  the future.

Made some of the code more error-proof.

Finally found one issue that could cause a stage 0 or game reset bug. (Player disconnecting during remote function call).

Outbreak Survival Old Missing 2.3-2.4 patch notes

Old match notes for the 2.3 update and possibly parts of the 2.4 update.

Patch 2.3 has arrived! Adding a new community map [Power Out], a revamped event map [Castle Front], 9 new weapons, numerous balance changes,

4 new Zombie classes, loadout system, synced music, item stats library, new GUI's, pets, daily quests and much more!

Tag gun shots will no longer bounce around everywhere. Lots of items have spawned objects destroyed instead of being nil parented. Changed the Frog code around again, will now work with mobile, possibly fixed the not working glitch.

Player Points have been added to the game! You'll get 2 per kill, 1 per assist, 10 per bronze chest, 20 per silver chest and 30 per gold chest

New status effect GUI's! These will appear when certain things happen to your character, this will help new players feel less confused.

Examples include a frozen effect, cookie trapped and frogged.

New event items, some of these are pretty unique. Grab yours with presents soon!

Examples are the Freezonator, capable of throwing down a Freeze mine every 3rd kill. Frost Buster mace: Deals x4 damage to frozen targets.

New basic items, utilising the Rage mechanic and other things. These items are pretty solid but will cost a lot.

New stats GUI. This GUI is more compact and moves itself away from the PvZ:Battleground style GUI. It combines health and armour into one

bar, and will still notify you when your health is low.


Zombie changes: Striker Zombie will now completely ignore defence (old code actually made defence twice as effective lol). New Ignore Defence

boolean has that Zombies can utilise, Anti-Armour Zombie will now deal more overall damage, but no longer deal extra damage versus armour. It

will now instead have a higher chance to permanently remove defence, and ignores defence.

New Zombies! Blitz Zombie is back and is a great alternative to the Striker Zombie for those that like durability over damage. Snow Chugga

Zombie: This icy mechanical mix can slow down humans on hit and freeze them on every 3rd consecutive hit.

Brute Zombie is also making a return! This fierce Zombie deals a large amount of damage but is slower than your average survivor. It also has

a large health pool.

New Inventory and start menu changes. There is a new colour scheme for both these GUI's (the blue's are the same), the buttons and colours

have been simplified. There is only one colour for the buttons now, and the text is no longer blue. (The red backing was a bit blinding for

some players). You can also hide locked items to further avoid confusion.

Loads of bug fixes in this update, including characters not spawning with the anti-jump mechanics, players being able to spawn as a neutral

Zombie, possible bug fixes for the throwing frogs - these have been heavily recoded and will hopefully not randomly stop working anymore.

At every stage increase, players will be shown on the map for a short duration. This will allow the combat to not become stale and boring.

Some maps have had their timer reduced as a result. Players under the effects of cloak will not be shown on the map.

2 new event maps! The castle front map has it's winter colour scheme back on, as well as decorations! Builder Town is back, with many new

changes and improvements but while also keeping what made this map fun.

Presents drop a fixed amount per wave, but can spawn in many different locations. Multiple waves also occur per map. Presents will also drop

per kill, these have a higher chance of being better.

Presents range from .............

But that's not it. This is only part 1! With part two releasing closer to Christmas, which has been confirmed to contain a new community map,

new themed Zombies and weapons. :)

2.3 Missing patch notes:

Breaker Zombie: Minimum buy price increased, doubles in cost each time you buy it. (Resets on round end). Reduced the ground slam damage

amount from 40 to 30, reduced the shockwave ability damage from 10 to 8. Reduced walkspeed from 15 to 14, reduced punch damage from 15 to 10,

reduced crush damage from 30 to 25.

Sandvich: Can use while at full health to "taunt" (doesn't use any of the charges). Ice Zombie cannot be frozen by the Ice Staff, Ice Zombie

no longer loses health after shooting an Ice Shard. Made a few changes to the current Zombie abilities and added some new ones.

Changed Crystal Mines: Can deploy a Mine every 60 seconds (you have 3 mines total). Each mine can be activated 3 times each before being

destroyed (once a mine has been activated, it will have a 30 second cooldown and then re-activate). Because of this the mine item will be

about 3-4 weight. Clarification: For the Heavy set for every item in the set equipped you gain +400 minigun ammo and +32 shotgun ammo. (With

all items equipped +800 / + 64).


Changes to the Puddle ability: Split into two different puddles. Sludge Puddle: Max 4 charges no cooldown between uses (the offensive puddle

ability), lasts forever until round ends or its health reaches 0, has higher damage, more health, its max size is smaller but grows more

quickly.

Sludge Pool: Similar to the old one (tactical puddle), has a 30 second cooldown, slower growth rate, but is larger than the puddle, deals

less damage, has less health, once it reaches max size it will stay active for 2 minutes, after which it will start to recede and eventually

vanish. (All puddles have nerfed max health).

New Zombie abilities: Worm Nest [Active Ability]. On use will spawn a Worm Nest which will periodically spawn worms until its destroyed. Can

replace the Worm Nest every 30 seconds. Nest has a 20 second "arm" time. Sludge Trail [Passive Ability]. While active you will start to spawn

mini puddles every 30 seconds. These will grow in size and then eventually recede. (Much smaller than the Active puddles).

Armoured Hide [Passive Ability]. Grants your Zombie character +10% Defence rating.

The Sludge Pool is a tactical puddle that grows more slowly compared with the Sludge Pool, however its maximum size is larger and one can be

placed down every 30 seconds.

Place down a Sludge Puddle that damages any human that steps in it. Can place down a maximum of 4 at a time. Puddle grows with time until it

has reached maximum size.
