Take on hordes of Zombies in Hell’s coziest cul-de-sac

Survival Map: Nuked (Launch)

Take on the undead horde in Hell's coziest cul-de-sac as the Nuked Survival map arrives in Season 04.

Battle enemies in the street between the iconic Yellow House and Green House. Far from their idyllic presentation in other forms of Nuketown, this neighborhood is tainted with corruption, and the denizens and their Rad-Hounds are anything but friendly.

Scour the map for upgrades: Perks, Pack-a-Punch, Mystery Box, the Arsenal, Wall Buys, and anything else you can get your hands on to climb the rounds in a confined location, extending from the cul-de-sac out to Trinity Ave. You might not get out alive, but you can at least take down as many undead as you can with you.

Survive as long as you can to earn the following rewards:

  • "Population: Just You" Animated Emblem and 1,000 XP (complete Round 10).
  • "Dead End" Weapon Charm and 2,500 XP (complete Round 25)
  • "Time Out" GobbleGum and 5,000 XP (complete Round 50)

Directed Mode: Totenreich (Launch)

Get extra guidance for the Main Quest on Totenreich as Season 04 brings Directed Mode to the map, delivering on-screen quest steps and a max round cap of 15.

Explore the ancient fishing village's dark past under the shadow of giants while battling new enemies including the undead Viking warrior spirit known as the Necropincer, a trident wielding adversary with a giant crab claw in place of its left arm. Seek out the Jotunn Star Melee Wonder Weapon to meet the challenge head on; attack enemies with the mythical lantern to steal their souls generating power to cast death-dealing fireballs between strikes with the barbed iron chain.

Players who complete Totenreich on Directed Mode will earn the "Dead Man's Drip" Operator Skin for Weaver, "Totenreich Directed Mode Completion" Calling Card, and 5,000 XP.

For more guidance, pull up our free and official Totenreich Tac Map while exploring the ancient fishing village in Directed Mode, displaying a detailed map showing the locations of the map's major points of interest, Pack-a-Punch, Wall Buys, Ammo, Perks, Traps, and more.

Starting Room: Totenreich (Launch)

Make your stand in Eidskallen Landing as Starting Room: Totenreich arrives in Season 04. In Starting Room, all pathways out of the starting area are locked, forcing you to make the most out of the space and resources available to you. With no way out of this old fishing village, it's time to set the bait and take down as many as you can before a cold death overtakes you. Use the following map items to aid in your pursuit:

Totenreich: Mystery Box, Wallbuy (Coda 9), Ammo Cache, Quick Revive, Rampage Inducer, GobbleGum Machine

Survive as long as you can to earn the following rewards:

  • "Flavor Hex" GobbleGum and 1,000 XP (reach Round 10)
  • "Cold Reel" Calling Card and 2,500 XP (reach Round 25)
  • "Aether Fisher" Calling Card and 5,000 XP (reach Round 50)

New Permanent Mode: Rogue Run (Launch)

Drop into a whole new Zombies experience with Rogue Run! This fast-moving roguelite twist on Round-Based Zombies features randomized reward paths, permanent in-mode upgrades, and increasing levels of challenge through five different playlist selections each with their own rewards.

Shape Your Path

At the start, begin with a randomly selected Common Rarity Pistol and infinite ammo. The zombies come fast and hard in this mode, so be prepared for a fight. Make it to the end of the round and choose your reward.

Build Your Loadout: After clearing each round, teleport to an area with three different rewards, each presented on a pedestal. Each pedestal draws from a different pool - utility upgrades, weapons, Perks, Field Upgrades, Ammo Mods, and more. Primary Weapons have infinite ammo but Wonder Weapons and Underbarrels do not.

Claim your reward within the allotted time or it will be chosen for you, then off to the next arena.

Earn Permanent Upgrades: Complete playlist challenges to gain permanent in-match benefits and stronger pedestal reward choices to aid you in future runs. These challenges often require hunting down powerful HVTs.

Included in the possible rewards are permanent Rogue Run upgrades, such as starting with a higher rarity Pistol, or getting access to Wonder Weapons. These upgrades affect subsequent matches in every playlist within Rogue Run, making it worthwhile to progress in each one.

The Rogue Run playlists are as follows:

Target: Luci

Rewards:

  • "Who's Keeping Score?" GobbleGum and 1,000 XP (complete Round 5)
