Hold the line.
Fish the dark.
Barricade, scavenge and fight through the waves with your squad — with guns built from broken televisions, a lake that is still full of fish, and things in the dark that are not zombies.
What's new — 0.9.69
- No more 1–2 second freezes (02 Nov hotfix, fetched by the launcher).
- Reconnect: drop out alive and your character waits 3 minutes for you, same health, gear and position.
- Lobby map vote, random map rotation and difficulty tiers from EASY to ELITE.
- Astris Site 02 is a four-level biolab inside a mountain; six more maps reworked.
- Siege your way: LIMITED (12, 25 or 50 waves) or ENDLESS, with an extraction after wave 30.
- Heavier enemies: planted feet, leg staggers, the grab (mash F), real wounds; the Sower, the Sapper and the Writhe.
- Squads raid together, parties of up to 5, up to 12 players a game, and the squad ledger with rank and MMR.
- Real sound only: the synthetic voices are gone.
- Known: online trading cannot reach the server in this build; the fix is in the next update.
Features
Everything below is in the current build.
Wonder weapons
Rabbit Ears, the Signal Scrambler, the Tesla Tuner — guns wired out of dead televisions. Chain lightning, plasma waves, beams. Locked until wave 5.
A real arsenal
Rifles, shotguns, revolvers and sidearms with full first-person handling, attachments and pack-a-punch tiers. See the arsenal →
Order it in
Weapons, attachments, ammo, turrets, gear and medicine — requisitioned from the field manual and air-dropped near you.
Fishing
Eight rods, bait and tackle, and ponds and cisterns on every map. Hook it, fight the line, land it — then cook it.
Thirty-odd species
Crappie, bluegill, trout, carp, sturgeon — and a few that did not come from any lake on this Earth.
Something worse
The Crawler sneaks. The Stalker freezes when watched. The Maw takes an arm. Fight on one-handed — or find DVP-1 Mk2.
Lore
Documents are scattered on tables across every map. This is the short version.
- 1949
A dredge on the Columbia finds a hull at marker 41. It goes into Basin 2 at Hanford, under twenty feet of water. - 1953
COLD HARVEST: tissue from the hull's occupant — "the Tenant" — is grafted into volunteers. - 1991
Subject 14 walks out of Basin 2, dry. Six tanks are opened from the inside. - 1992
The programme goes private as ASTRIS BIOSYSTEMS. CLEARDAY keeps the sickness silent — by licensing it. - R+0 — The Relapse
The licence fails in a single week. You know the rest.
DRG MEMO // DVP-1 MK2
1. The Mk2 dose regrows a severed limb in the field. 2. Expected cost: acute cholesterol synthesis load; the patient will feel it. 3. Administer one-handed if necessary. 4. Do not administer to anyone who has heard the counting.
