Situation Outbreak is an Orange Box mod about the impending zombie apocalypse. Armed with nothing but a 9mm and a pair of brass knuckles, you must do whatever it takes to survive against the thousands of zombies that used to be your friends and neighbors. The cost of failure is nothing less than your free will. There are no heroes. No single person can save the world and there are not enough bullets to go around. The only thing left to do is to kill the damned, hoping that you don’t end up like them. | Situation Outbreak is an Orange Box mod about the impending zombie apocalypse.

Often deemed an Infection-Survival hybrid, one player is chosen towards the start of each round to be the zombie overlord.

If a zombie overlord is ever killed during the middle of a round, they are spawned as a Survivor and another zombie overlord is chosen to take their place.

Overview
Situation Outbreak is an Orange Box mod about the impending zombie apocalypse. Armed with nothing but a 9mm and a pair of brass
knuckles, you must do whatever it takes to survive against the thousands of zombies that used to be your friends and neighbors. The
cost of failure is nothing less than your free will. There are no heroes. No single person can save the world and there are not enough
bullets to go around. The only thing left to do is to kill the damned, hoping that you don’t end up like them.
Description
This is not your average, run-for-your-life zombie mod. Quickly, here are a few things that set SO apart from the competition:
- A custom dynamic difficulty system that adjusts game difficulty in realtime based the Survivors' progress on a given map.
- Six new, unique, awesome gamemodes, like Infection and Survival.
- A completely new arsenal of weapons – all developed in-house by Agent Red Productions.
- Survivors can buy weapons and ammo by cashing in points they earn for killing Zombies and zombie NPCs.
- Gain experience and level up for useful bonuses and powerups.
- Fight off hordes of zombies by hunkering down behind a barricade or going rouge.
- Make your own maps using our fully-developed, easy-to-use custom entity set and in-depth tutorials.
Agent Red Productions takes pride in having created the most active zombie-based mod on the Source scene; new updates are being
released just about every month!
Gamemodes
Infection
One player is chosen to become the host of the zombie infection - and must infect the rest of the players by tearing into their tasty flesh!
This is the classic outbreak style of gameplay. Either the zombies rule the earth, or the humans retake what was theirs!
Survival
Survivors must defend themselves against the hordes of zombies NPCs for a specified amoutn of time. Be sure to keep the zombies off
your back - once you go down, you're not getting back up.
Escape
Survivors only have a few minutes to escape before being overrun by zombies! No one must be left behind! One player is chosen to be
the host of the infection at the start of the round. Better hurry, zombies don't raise themselves!
Holdout
Similar to Survival, Survivors will find themselves defending their fellows against wave after wave of zombie NPCs. However like
Escape, there's a twist: the Survivors must also defend a specified holdout area until time runs out. Therefore the mission is not only to
survive the infection, but to contain it, which makes this gamemode notably harder than the others.
Overlord
Often deemed an Infection-Survival hybrid, one player is chosen towards the start of each round to be the zombie overlord. As a
zombie overlord, a player is capable of killing Survivors for points either by using their zombie claws or by spawning their own army of
zombie NPCs to command. These points can then be exchanged to spawn even more zombie NPCs. If a zombie overlord is ever killed
during the middle of a round, they are spawned as a Survivor and another zombie overlord is chosen to take their place. This continues
until a zombie overlord successfully destroys the human race or until time runs out, in which case the Survivors win.
Objective
Often deemed a Escape-Survival hybrid, Survivors must complete a set of objectives before they can escape to safety with the
additional twist of having to defending themselves against endless waves of zombie NPCs. If the Survivors fail to complete all of their
objectives before time runs out, they lose, making this gamemode the most versatile and open-ended as far as what objectives the
Survivors are assigned to complete. As an added challenge, players never respawn once they are killed.
