It was back in August 2021 when the undead returned to PUBG: Battlegrounds. Good news to those who want another crack at them since they’re coming back to Labs. Be prepared since they’re smarter, stronger, and thirstier for blood.
In Zombie Survival 2.0, teams next go through a total of 10 stages, each one lasting three minutes. Each player starts with a basic set of equipment:
- Deagle
- 60EA .45 ACP
- Backpack (Level 3)
- 1 Grenade
To move to the next stage, teams need to kill all zombies or have at least one member stay alive until the end. Once a stage is cleared, teams are given a 20-second break before the next stage begins. During this period players can buy tactical items using Survival Coins. Teammates who died in the previous stage are respawned and continue to the next stage. However, if the team is wiped out, the game ends as a Zombie Dinner.
What are Survival Coins? These are earned by taking down zombies and stored in the player’s inventory. It’s important to remember that Survival Coins can’t be dropped. However, players die and respawn having the same amount they had before they died.
Tactical Items
Zombie Survival 2.0 is introducing some interesting tactical items like:
- Traps to temporarily stop zombies from moving.
- Sticky Traps and Sticky Chemicals to temporarily slow down zombies.
- Zombie Stun Grenades to stun zombies.
- Healing Chemicals to heal you and your team.
- Zombie C4, Can Bombs, Zombie Blue Zone Grenades, Anti-Zombie Chemicals, and Anti-Zombie Table Legs to deal damage.
