Operation Survival: Last Man Standing
*
To succeed in the newest mode, you must be the last man standing at the end of the round. The stakes have never been higher than in this battle of life and death. *

Quarantine Mode Regen

Quarantine Mode is back, better than ever! In this redesigned version of Quarantine Mode, the Infections begin with much fewer HP with which to survive. However, the Infection’s HP will be recovered when they are stationary for 3 seconds. 10% of their HP will be recovered every extra second they stay still after the 3-second period. Additionally, the number of Host Infections has been adjusted, so the battle between Humans and the Infected will truly be a fight to remember.

M39 EMR Desert – a new Sniper rifle!
