After finally arriving to the suburbs of Aurora, the survivors could finally catch their breath. But sadly, this was just a temporary safe haven. As the survivors were taking a break and gearing up for their next heavy trek towards their next destination. What they didn't know however, was that somebody was eagerly watching their progress...


The gamemode "Panic!" has been rewritten from scratch. It's now a single gamemode and is more simplified (from A to B), similar to Zombie Panic! Source Objective (not much randomness, or at all). The gamemode is also more PvE focused, but if zombie players are enabled, then the first player will become the Carrier, while the second player becomes the riot zombie.



Campaign mode has been added! With this, you can play trough the entire (mostly) Last Stop campaign. But that's not all, you can also create your own custom campaign if the maps are linked with the info_safezone entity!

There are up to 4 sessions you can choose from, and once a session has been selected, you will be able to choose a campaign and it's unlocked map. If you complete a map, the said map will become unlocked, and you will be able to choose the said map as your starting point.


And if there is more than 1 campaign and you decide to select it, the progress you have made won't be lost. But do be careful, as your health and weapon ammo will no longer refill when changing to the next map. Everything you have on you will be saved, even your selected character. Dead players will also re-spawn as humans with 50% of their total HP with default starter weapons.
