About This Content

THE NEIGHBORHOOD BUTCHER

He ran the butcher shop on the corner. When the dead got back up, he kept the cleavers. The Butcher is close-range damage: every cut stacks bleeding, and the longer a fight drags on, the more health he pulls back out of it.

A NEW HERO FOR YOUR ROSTER

This DLC adds the Butcher to your heroes. You still fight with a team of 3, a leader up front and two allies behind, and you pick who goes in on the Team tab. Outlaw, Scout and Nurse stay on your roster, so nothing you've built is lost.

HIS 6 SKILLS

  • Double Cut: two cleaver strikes in a row, and each one makes the target bleed.

  • Bloodletting: for 6 seconds every hit stacks bleeding, up to 5 stacks.

  • Meat Hook: hooks a zombie at the back of the horde and drags it to the front.

  • Hunger: for 6 seconds, 25% of the damage he deals comes back as health.

  • Cleave: a heavy blow that hits 50% harder against anything already bleeding.

  • Market Spin: spins both cleavers and hits every zombie up close.

Like every hero, he unlocks his skills by leveling up his own skill tree, and you choose which ones to equip.

HIS GEAR

A cleaver as his weapon and an apron in the off-hand, 11 tiers each, from a dull cleaver all the way up to a legendary one. This gear only drops once he's on your roster.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

Some of the game's 2D art (character sprites, scenery, item icons and store artwork) was created with the help of generative AI image tools, then curated, edited and integrated by the team. Parts of the game's code were written with AI assistance under developer direction. All AI-assisted content was reviewed by the developers. The game does NOT generate AI content at runtime and does NOT connect to any external AI service.
