A mod for Zandronum 3.2.1
Zombie Horde 2 is a mod that has been in development for years by Xsnake, starting off as a simple passion project all the way back in 2010.
With many features and original gameplay, Zombie Horde was quickly a staple in the community with numerous servers containing an ever growing number of players.
I have taken over the development of Zombie Horde in 2016 and since then been working on creating a new version that attempts to capture what made the mod great and expand greatly on what is possible.
In Zombie Horde you play many different community and developer-made maps.
As a human you will have to survive the hordes of zombies that come to infect and kill you.
As a Zombie, you infect everyone. No mercy.
Please note that Zombie Horde 2 is a total reboot. This means that the mod has been developed from the ground up, and will in no way be related to the code base of Zombie Horde by Xsnake.
Weapons, tools, abilities
The Zombie Horde 2 arsenal will continue to grow. As a human or zombie you start with a base arsenal, but you will also be able to play maps and find new weaponry.

Zombie Horde was build on contributions of new maps, and I'm happily accepting your own attempt at a Zombie Horde 2 map! Making a map is extremely simple, and does not require any ACS if you're not comfortable with it. The best place to start your own map is by reading the wiki page created for first time mappers. Click here to open the wiki page. Alternatively, you can join the Discord and ask many veteran and current Zombie Horde players for tips and suggestions. You can find it in my signature, or click at the link at the bottom of the post.
Zombie Horde 2 provides its own credits as part of the builds. Please look into the CREDITS lump of each build for more information.
Honorable mention
- Xsnake, for making all of this possible.
