Zombie mode has been in PUBG for some time with the Darkest Night mode and the Survive Till Dawn mode. However, this time PUBG Mobile is bringing an entirely new zombie-fighting experience with the 0.14.0 update. In this new Infection mode, the zombies we will be fighting against are real players instead of AI.
The old zombie mode has brought a lot of fun to the game, however, they can be too easy to defeat for an experienced player. Not anymore, with real people controlling zombies, you will find yourself worthy opponents when they outsmart you in different situations.
The match will take place on a small map called Lost Harbor. At the start of the match, you will find yourself as either a zombie or a defender, the same happens to every other player. There 3 rounds in total, each round lasts 3 minutes. A round will end if the time runs out or if one side is wiped out completely. If the time run out, the Defenders will win.
If you are a Defender, you will be equipped with guns and loads of ammo. And your task will be, of course, to kill all the zombie. But be careful, all it takes is one hit from any zombie and you will turn into one of them. Once you have killed a number of zombies, you will be promoted to a super melee fighter call Vanquisher. A Vanquisher has 6000 max health and this amount can be increased by getting Booster. You will use a machete which deals much more damage and has an ability to do a larger cleave swing. Also, any zombie killed by Vanquisher will not respawn.
If you are a zombie, your claw will be your weapon to turn all the Defenders into zombies. There are 3 types of zombies, Speed Zombie, Stealth Zombie, Zombie King.
Speed Zombie: A fast male zombie with the ability to increase its movement speed for a short period. At the start of the round, all chosen players will turn into Speed Zombies by default.
Stealth Zombie: A female zombie with the ability to turn invisible for a short time. Players can choose to be a Stealth Zombie after they are killed by a Defender.
Zombie King: You can only obtain this form by picking up a Booster and infect 2 other players. It is large and slow, but it can deal more damage to Vanquisher and have the ability to increase the defense of surrounding zombies.
The map in this mode is new and also have a circle to limit the play area. There are a lot of tall build and locations for players to juke around just like in Assasin Creed. The weather effect and the complexity of structures around the map fit perfectly with this type of game mode with the chaotic environment. No matter if you are a zombie or a Defender at the start of the round, it will all come down to melee fighting at the ending stage of the match so always be prepared for a close-ranged brawl.
To conclude, this game mode brings a brand new experience to PUBG Mobile as players will have a chance to become zombies themselves. Your awareness and skill will be tested to the limit as zombies trying to hit you from the most unexpected spot. If you are looking for something new with fast-paced gameplay then this is the perfect time for you to head into PUBG Mobile and try out this mode.
