Hello zombie slayers! In today's update we are completely refreshing the high scores, and by doing so are getting rid of a number of cheating players sitting on the top spots. So go now and earn the top spot! Also in today's update we've added support for ASUS Aura Sync devices. With ASUS AURA, you'll be able to sync the backlight of supported hardware devices to events happening in the game! For example, when recovering health, your supported hardware will react to your actions and glow green. Now the battles will become brighter and more spectacular! To use ASUS Aura, you'll need to have the latest Armoury Crate installed on your system.

Hi everyone! Due to the new issues in the latest patch, we have decided to temporarily roll back to the previous version until we can get it fixed. Sorry for any inconvenience {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36343798/9415bdfea9071cccdf682c21a551fe98dcd82d32.jpg

Today we bring you laser fences! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36343798/c47acffefd61d1e350c81662e29b2fd27eb9e95c.png These fences will obliterate anything that tries to pass through and turn them to dust, they are expensive though and you can only build 20, so use them wisely! We've also increased the performance of the game slightly in this update. We are aware of several annoying bugs, one of which being that when you shoot zombies in some cases the bullets do 0 damage. We are working on fixing this right now and the fix will be included in the next update. Thank you! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36343798/a135a2ef8d41f9d18e77f9b522d4d781ec768f52.jpg
