Zombies Get Worse Every Day
New types unlock as the days pass: runners, crawlers, brutes, archers, leapers and armored zombies. Mutant zombies show up after day 90.
What to Expect
The short version of the Survivor's Handbook you get on your first join. In game: /guide, or /ms for a clickable menu.
The World
Hordes Every 10 Days
Each horde is bigger than the last. On horde days you get a warning in the morning and another just before it hits in the late afternoon. Beds don't work during a horde.
Infection
Zombie hits can infect you. A golden apple or a vaccine cures it, and fox weed paste helps early on.
Guns
Around 95 mostly real-world guns, crafted at the gun smith table.
Claims
Protect your base by claiming chunks on the Xaero world map. Invite friends to your party to share it.
Voice Chat
Proximity voice chat comes with the pack, but its keys start unbound. Go to Options → Controls → Key Binds → Voice Chat and set Push to talk and Voice chat settings. Walkie-talkies reach further.
Money
How You Earn It
- Kills: every zombie pays, and tougher ones pay more.
- Playing: a payout every 30 minutes you're active (not AFK).
- Daily reward:
/dailypays $50, plus $10 for every day of your streak, up to $150. - Contracts: four paid jobs a day (reset at 00:00 UTC), plus the weekly community goal: $300 for everyone with 20 or more kills when it's reached.
- Trading and bounties: sell on the market, or collect a bounty.
Where It Lives
Your money sits in the bank, so you don't lose it when you die. /withdraw <amount> turns it into the pack's Money bills to trade by hand, and /deposit turns bills back into bank money.
The market keeps a 5% fee on each sale, and money from mob farms is capped, so the economy stays worth something.
Supply Drops
Every couple of hours
When two or more survivors are online, a crate of loot and cash falls somewhere in the city. A few minutes before it lands, everyone gets a warning with the coordinates. Follow the red flares. The crate never lands in claimed land, and it's gone 30 minutes after landing, along with anything left inside.
Bounties
Most wanted
Put money on another player with /bounty place <player> <amount>. Whoever kills them collects it all. If nobody claims it within 7 days of the last bounty added on that player, everyone gets their money back. See the current list with /bounty or on the home page.
