Zedfall: Outbreak

Zedfall: Outbreak is a co-op wave survival shooter with twin-stick controls, evolving upgrade cards and roguelike progression. You choose a class, build up your character and fight undead swarms through one of three modes: Wave Survival, Tower Defence or Scavenge. You can play solo or with up to 8 players, use proximity-based voice communication, and switch to a first-person view.

Build your character

Killing enemies and completing objectives help you develop your character in different ways. In Wave Survival, zombies drop experience orbs; each level gives you a stat point, which you can use to select upgrade cards at the end of each wave. You can combine classes and evolving cards to create different builds. Character upgrades are available from the Quartermaster at base camp, where you can also pick up daily quests. You can unlock items for your character to wear, and enable Chaos Mode to add random modifiers to each wave.

Game modes

Each mode has different objectives and gameplay:

• Wave Survival: Fight escalating undead waves and reach the final extraction stage. Every fifth round is a boss round. Endless mode is also available.
• Tower Defence: Infected enter through a breached wall. Build and upgrade defences with gold earned from kills, and protect the generator from different types of infected. Endless mode is also available.
• Scavenge: Explore a more open map, find explosives, destroy targeted structures and collect salvage. Destroying the structures alerts the horde, so you must hold your ground. Once all the structures are destroyed, kill the final boss and escape.

Play your way

The game supports up to 8 players in co-op, as well as solo play. You can enable first-person perspective through the custom mode lobby; it works in all three modes, with the same rewards as top-down play. Proximity-based voice chat uses directional sound.
