Regular zombies chase, cut you off or go around you from early rounds. Later, specials join: the Juggernaut, the Lope, which runs on its arms, and the Skitter, which comes across the ceiling — “and more.” There are boss fights, and a hidden ritual wakes the Mother. Official
Roster
Zombies
The horde. From the early rounds, some chase you, some cut you off and some go around. They get tougher as rounds climb. OfficialPress
Tip Shoot the legs and they crawl — a cheap way to slow a pack.
Crawlers
Not a separate type: zombies whose legs you shot off keep coming on their arms. Official
Tip Watch the floor in tight corridors.
Juggernaut
Named on Steam among the later-round specials. The store text describes a special that charges through its own horde to grab you. Official
Tip Keep an escape lane when you hear the horde parting.
Lope
Runs on its arms. Official
Tip Fast and low — aim lower than head height.
Skitter
Comes across the ceiling. Official
Tip Check above you in rooms with high ceilings.
The Mother
Woken by a hidden ritual. Players report the route: collect three hearts, offer them at the Gun Ascension altar, enter her room. OfficialPlayers
Tip Full route and prep in the Easter egg guide.
How damage reads on enemies
- Arms and legs come off where you shoot them. Official
- Big guns punch holes straight through, so a line of zombies is a target, not a threat. Official
- Bodies fall the way the bullet sent them, then bleed out, burn up or shatter depending on how they died — a hint at the elemental damage types. Official
Not yet documented
Health values, damage numbers, the rounds where each special first appears, and the other specials Steam refers to as “and more” have not been published. We list stats only when the developer publishes them or they can be reproduced reliably.
