• Steam Fortress
  • Compatible with Survival, Weekly, Endless, and Objective Game Modes.

    • Mercenaries assist Dr. Ogada Buyu in retrieving server data from the abandoned Horzine base before destroying all traces of it to eliminate the Zed threat.

• New Objective types
  • Transport
    • Players are required to pick up an item and deliver it to a predetermined location on the map. The objective is complete once the required amount of items are delivered.
    • Players carrying the item will receive a movement speed reduction of 53% to walk and 60% to run speed. This movement speed reduction does not apply to solo players or the last player alive.

• Hemoclobber for the Berserker and Field Medic.
