The Ultimate Z.M Guide
The Zombie Mode was introduced in the Undead Update in September 2011. It's the first and only co-operative mode that pits players against waves of undead zombies, mutants, and monsters, in an epic battle for survival.
1. Facts and words used in ZM
I. Sniper's bait
Everyone's nightmare in a zombie mode game... getting shot by snipers.
Who are they shooting? Why that person?
Well, the answer to those questions is quite easy.After a few games, me and some of my friends realized they always shoot the first person in the room.
What if that person dies?!?!
They shoot the second person in room. If that person dies too, they shoot the third person in the room and so on.
II. AI
Why are the zombies chasing me? Why me, and not my teammates?!!?!
I figured out that while I was camping in valk and my team was shooting them.
Here is how the bots work:
1.They come at you 2.You shoot them 3.They chase you
OR
1.They come at you 2. You don’t shoot them 3. They either attack you once and leave or just leave
Why do I need to know this?
You will need to know this because this technique is used at the final wave.
Is there any way I could avoid getting damaged?
YES.All you have to do is jump around the mutant(s) until you kill him! Easy as that! Still didn't got the idea? Have a look at this video(HD)
YouTube
NOTE:This works with large groups of mutants as well.
III. Luring
W….what’s that?
Luring is a techique used in the final wave.Basically, the sniper bait shoots all the zombies once(not to kill them , just to chase him) while others keep the boss away from the sniper bait and kill him.
IMPORTANT: If you play Goliath maps, be sure to keep the boss away so the bait is not affected by the Goliath Stun attack.
Don't know what I mean?Have a look at this video(HD)
Luring
IV. Adrenaline
LOL , My char has adrenaline? How does that help me?
You gain adrenaline by killing zombies. The higher the damage you inflict, the more adrenaline you will gain. Use your adrenaline by pressing the 'F' key.
This is how your adrenaline bar should look like when you start a game
And when it's almost full
And this is how it looks when you are using it
2. Items used in Zombie Mode
I. Revival Tokens
OMG, I died? Does that mean game over? Z8 sucks!
You died.... but you have one last hope :eek: REVIVAL TOKENS!
How can I get them?!! You can either go in item shop, web mall or you can purchase them before joining a Zombie Mode game![ZP ONLY]
How can I use them?
Let's pretend someone from your team died...just like in this screenshot
If you walk over his body you will see this :
Simply press 'H' and he will be revived!
But...what if I die?If that was your last life and you got tokens, just press 'H'.
II.Hypomeds
Losing life but don't want to spend zp on tokens? You got hypomeds! There are 2 types of hypomeds: large and small.
II.1 Large Hypomeds
You recover 60 HP by using them. You can either buy them or win them from silver crates.
II.2 Small hypomeds
You recover 20 HP by using them. You can only get them from zm crates or suply boxes in zombie mode games.
3.Zombies
I.Undead's and SAS/OMOH zombie's
Undead
SAS/OMOH Zombie
Althought they may seem harmless zombies...they aren't.You can kill them easily(1-2 shots) but if you get hurt,you will regret neglecting them.
II. Snipers
They aren't a problem if you aren't sniper bait
They don't move and they are pretty easy to kill.
III. Scorcher
Probably the most annoying type of zombie....especially when you get stuck and one of them explodes next to you.That's his only attack: the explosion.
II. Snipers
They aren't a problem if you aren't sniper bait
They don't move and they are pretty easy to kill.III. Scorcher
Probably the most annoying type of zombie....especially when you get stuck and one of them explodes next to you.That's his only attack: the explosion.

IV. Hunter's
They are pretty much the same as undead except they walk faster and do less damage.
V. Ghost's and Zombie Leader/Captain
Ghost's
Zombie leader
Zombie Captain
Quite hard to spot...I call them the ninja zombies
Easy to kill, quite big damage inflicted. Just make sure you keep distance because some of them are invisible
VI. Zombie Mutants
Smoke
Green mutant
Dread
These mutants have the most hp and they are probably the hardest one to kill. Easiest solution to kill them is to "gang" with your friends and aim for head
Area 1: wave 1-7
Area 1 is pretty easy, all you have to do is just keep your grenade until wave 6(green mutants wave). This area shouldn't be a problem.
Area 2: wave 8-13
Right after you pick up the grenade just throw it away at the dreads, wave 8 being the hardest one. Nothing else to say here
Area 3: wave 14-19
Keep your nades and adrenaline for wave 19 because the Zombie Boss will spawn that wave, along with scorchers. I would just camp near the supply ammunition, making sure my friends are near by.
Area 3-4 tunnel: wave 20-24
Many noobs will just rush for the hypos, while they die when ghosts come. Just stay behind and kill them... You'll lose some hypos but you will not lose hp.
Back and forward waves: Just be sure not to be surprised when some zombies spawn behind you. And keep your nades for wave 23, when smokes spawn.
Area 4: wave 25-30
As you can see in the image, the sniper bait has to camp in the red area, near supply box until the others kill the snipers. Snipers will spawn every round except wave 25 and 27(ghosts/scorchers wave).
I always camp with my friends in the blue area, while covering the sniper bait.
At the boss wave, make sure you kill the snipers fast while the sniper bait lures in the BLUE area.The non-bait people have to keep the boss at the gate so the lurer is not affected by the stun attack.

Lurer camp spot
Click here to see the image at a higher resolution.
Basically, all you have to do is just switch between camp area 1 and camp area 2, while the sniper bait camps in the lurer spot. You do this because you will easily die at camp spot 1 at harder waves with scorchers and dreads/smokers etc.You have to get to C.A 2 at wave 15, 16, 21, 27 and 29. Other than that, you can stay all the other waves in C.A 1.At boss wave, the sniper bait has to camp in the lurer camp spot while the other camp in C.A 2 until the boss comes out.After that you keep him in the area described in the picture:

It shouldn't be too hard -

Good work nab
But I don't really like that it's all "centralised" or w/e it's called, I'd prefer it if it the text was sticking to the left if you get what I mean :P It's easier to read that way imo
And why are there so many people calling their guides "ultimate"? o.o I know it's not everyone but quite a few ;P -

I've also prepared few videos of Luring and technics on ZM maps with pro ZM players (like RQ?, Maniac45, Latinjerre, Awesomee?... and few more)
I've decide to make tutorial when few of us will get 1000ZM wins but.......
I had to much work in real life (wife was in pregnant, too much work with programming machines in my factory etc. so my wins rised to slow
)
Finally some1 else do that.
Gratz Dur, you are 1st
Good Job -
In the Zombies category: What is BP?
Also no walkthroughs for the other maps? WIP I suppose.
Also I personally think it would be better to delete your "reservation" posts. They can always be undeleted later for you to use. And any mod can do that. Just to keep it clean for now. -
