The Outpost Attacks (abbreviated OA) were added on August 25, 2019. They are a special event that was very requested by the community.
They consist in defending the door of one of the Outposts for 30 minutes, during that time, hundreds of zombies will appear, if they are not behind you, they will be trying to break the doors. When an Outpost is under attack, a faint siren will be heard, and the attacked position will be highlighted in orange on the map.
Time remaining for the next OA
Outposts will be attacked randomly 3 times a day, at 12 PM, 9 PM and 1 AM UTC. To be aware of when the next attack will occur, a timer has been placed at the bottom of the map, when you select travel from your car.
It is important to know that the result of the OA is global, all players in all instances (lobby, MMO, singleplayer or on another server) are part of the SAME ATTACK, it may happen that you clear the doors but they still receive damage, that is because in another different instance, the doors are being damaged by the infected. During this attack, the infected will grant more experience than normal. Zombies on fire, zombies surrounded by flies, zombies that vomit and worms will not appear (to avoid intense LAG).
The red bar is the door integrity, below that is the timer.
If the Attack is won, depending on the number of zombies you have killed, you will receive one of two bonuses that are available. The first is "Outpost Defender", which grants for 2 hours:
- + 20% Exp gain
- + 20% Find ammo quantity
- + 20% Find elite chance
The second bonus, the best one at the moment, is called "Outpost Guardian", which grants for 2 hours:
- + 40% Exp gain
- + 40% Find ammo quantity
- + 40% Find elite chance
If the attack is lost, the Outpost will be overrun by the zombies for 1 hour, at this time you will not be able to claim the rewards of the missions, only the market will be available.
