Zombie Infection is a community-created game mode added in Scream Fortress XV with the October 9, 2023 Patch. It features the RED team (also referred to as "Humans" or "Survivors") fighting to survive against the undead hordes of BLU team Zombies.
Contents
Gameplay
At the start of a round, all players will begin on RED team and be given a small period of time to prepare their defenses. After a short countdown, a certain number of players based on the amount of players on RED team will randomly be chosen to become infected. If a RED player dies, they are moved to the BLU team and play as a Zombie. BLU team wins if they manage to infect all Humans, while RED team wins if the remaining Humans hold out long enough without all being infected.
Zombies
- Zombies are limited to only using melee attacks, however, each Zombie class features a unique ability or passive.
- Zombies cannot deal Critical hits, pick up Ammo or Health packs, and do not drop ammo on death (except for the Engineer if he has an unused EMP grenade).[1]
- Zombies never take fall damage.[2]
- Except for Heavy and Scout Zombies, if a Zombie is not considered in combat, they will receive a small movement speed speed buff. This goes away after hitting a Human or being hit by a Human.[3]
- All Zombies wear a Voodoo-Cursed Soul, have a green footstep Halloween Spell effect, and have a voice modifier applied that deepens their voice.
- Zombies explode on death and drop a small health kit.[4]
