Features
Increased engine limits
- More brushes and entities can be used within a single level allowing for larger and more detailed levels.
Peer-2-Peer Lobby System
- Contagion supports P2P lobby sessions using Steam Networking. Joining dedicated servers as a party trough the lobby is also supported.
Updated Hammer Editor

Wwise Spatial Audio

Game Modes
Escape
- Team of up to 8 players and progress through a level, fighting through zombies while completing various mission objectives with the ultimate goal of escaping the map.
Extraction
- Explore a location and rescue a number of A.I.-controlled non-player character survivors.
Hunted
- The last player that survives is the victor, but watch out for players that returned as the living dead.
Flatline
- Survive against the horde of zombies that increase per wave until the escape is available. Flatline is the only game mode that is arcade-like, where you earn money for every zombie you kill and use said money to buy new equipment from the store (phone)
Panic!
- Similar to Escape game mode, but in this mode all zombies will sprint towards the players and will only be able to infect if they manage to fully grapple (bite) the player. This is the only game mode that allows for players to be freed from the grapple by spamming the SPACE bar.
