The Fortress: version 1 (version notice! This map will be updated soon.)
>> What Is It?
The Fortress is built for zombies and zombies alone (see gametype provided below). The starting humans are all that remain in this Spartan Training facility. When the New Mombasa Infection arose, survivors fled in search of places to hide and live. The training facility, disguised as a weapon manufacturing company, was hit hard, most of its inhabitants didn’t make it.
But some pulled together and constructed a temporary base in the ocean of this remote encampment. Other safe havens were also considered, and are used as fall-back points and for restocking ammunition.
>> Gameplay
When the game starts, the humans will find themselves inside the base of Last Resort. Mongooses are provided as a rapid transport to the fortress at the beach, just make sure someone is smart enough to open the gate. Although there are a few weapons in the base, it is not recommended that you stay here as cover is limited and if you hesitate to leave quickly, the zombies will be breathing down your neck. As you make your way to the beach, you will notice wreckage along the way, signs of struggle the humans have already faced.
Arriving at the fort, you will probably want to equip yourselves with suitable weaponry, the holdout can get pretty intense. If some of you are the exploring type, don’t worry. I have cleverly placed some “power” weapons that should ease that survival of yours. Zombies, don’t feel discouraged, you have a single Active Camo at your disposal. Don’t rush for it yet, though. You’ve got to let it spawn first, for balance purposes.

Top Tips
- Street cones mark the entrances to a safe zone. Look for them to grab some weapons or ammo.
- Zombies, you have access to an Active Camo on the seawall. Wait for it to spawn, as it will not appear at the beginning of the game.
- Get those weapons and get ‘em quick! There are a few power weapons scattered across the map. A Sniper, Splaser, Rockets, Firebombs, Shotguns, and a Brute Shot are all considered powerful in this undead showdown!
- Get to the beach as quickly as you can.
- The beach is the best position to hold, while other safe zones work well as fall-back points.
- If you’re an Alpha Zombie, find a good place to ambush the oncoming humans.
