Summary

The undead horde that overran parts of Los Angeles. The outbreak originated from Patient Zero — the reanimated wife of The Regenerator. The creatures are relentless and resistant to ordinary small-arms fire.

Description

A shambling undead horde, encountered in numbers across Los Angeles. They are relentless and pursue living targets without regard for damage. The team encountered a horde of 40-50 attacking a city bus full of civilians and cleared it.

Abilities

  • Relentless pursuit; no apparent self-preservation or fatigue.
  • Resist small-arms fire — they do NOT drop to ordinary body shots.

Weaknesses

  • Massive firepower and explosives. Jens Hartmann’s timed limpet mine wiped out half a horde in one detonation.
  • Headshots and decapitation are effective.
  • Being torn apart by suit weapons.

Game Stats (if known)

Not recorded. Practically, treat as resistant to ordinary body hits — destruction requires headshots, decapitation, dismemberment, or explosives.
