Horde
Line
The cordon fell at 04:12. The power went at 04:30. A hundred and twenty blocks, one square, the infected, and rival raider gangs who want what you are carrying. You have a squad of four. Hold out as long as you can.
Raiders arrive in groups, up to fifty from one gang.
A pistol that never runs dry, plus six mains.
Quarantine Zone QZ-07, North London.
On the street
Frames from the game. Drag sideways. The same city is in the iPhone and Android app, and in the browser.
Hold the line
First person on a dark street. Nothing fires unless you hold FIRE. The torch on the rifle is your light.
Board up
Stand at a shop door or window and nail on planks, four to an opening. The infected smash the glass and tear the boards down.
They're already upstairs
Six hotels. A lobby, three floors of rooms and a roof. The infected are inside, and they follow you up the stairs.
Steal the truck
Four cars, a white van and a green pickup are parked in the city. Empty raider trucks can be taken.
They want what you have
The Crows, the Tallymen and the Greys hunt you, fight each other, and run for medkits when they are losing.
Resupply
Between waves you take one upgrade and can switch the gun you own. Scrap from the run buys the rest.
Your squad
Four survivors in the same hi-vis orange as you. They hold a loose formation, come into shops, and slip inside even when the boards are up. If one goes down, they rejoin at the next wave. Blue on the minimap. Their kills count towards your score.
- AdeHi-vis orange, same as you.
- PriyaHolds a loose formation and comes through shop doors.
- MarekShoots infected and raiders. Blue tracers. No friendly fire.
- TessBacks off when a zombie gets too close. Heals if left alone.
Three gangs
Raiders hunt you, fight the infected, and fight each other. A grudge sticks: shoot one and that raider turns on you. When it goes quiet, every raider on foot switches to hunting you.
The Crows
Red bandanas. Yellow on the minimap.
The Tallymen
Blue bandanas. Yellow on the minimap.
The Greys
Grey bandanas. Yellow on the minimap.
What is hunting you
Walkers
The crowd. They hunt you first, and only switch to someone standing right next to them.
Runners
From wave 2. They shriek when they spot you. Rushes are mostly runners.
Brutes
From wave 4. They tear boards down much faster.
Irradiated
Rare, from wave 2, about one in thirty spawns, and only one alive at a time until wave 8. Green glow. A body shot takes at most a fifth of its health, so it takes five hits. One direct headshot kills it. It bursts for 250 score, 100 scrap and a pickup, and it hits harder than a walker.
The city
Eleven by eleven blocks, a memorial square in the middle, a ring road, and a cordon of concrete, tape and chain-link. Cars stop at the barrier. Signs on the roads read ROAD CLOSED · QZ-07 NO EXIT. Signs in front of buildings read ACCESS RESTRICTED.
Streets carry the names Archway Road N19, Holloway Road N7, Kentish Town Road NW5, Caledonian Road N1. Shops you can walk into include a chemist, an off licence, a launderette, a barber, a bakery, a butcher, a kebab house, an optician and a florist. Supply boxes turn up inside each wave.
