Culvert

Pipebomb Basement Culvert (zs_culvert) is the second Zombie Scenario: Season 2 map in Counter-Strike Online. It is survival-based instead of pursuit-type.

Background

 * Time after chasing the wounded Dione

Hello. This is Senior Researcher Soy from Aegis Institute. Unfortunately, we've missed a chance to capture Dione. However, it has been badly injured by us. I've received an order from the headquarters to continue the pursuit. We are requested to capture it alive but if that is impossible, we can kill him. Let's do our best, everyone!

LS team found Dione hidden inside the culvert after their continuous pursuit and have tired to capture him. However, Dione noticed it and went hiding into the darkness. At the same time, countless zombies are coming from everywhere to welcome the LS team.

Overview


Culvert takes place in a big sewage treatment plant with a very horrible atmosphere. Not only do the players need to kill the zombies all around the sewers, but also need to dodge Dione's rolling from side to side and survive until the last round. Dione will attack occasionally and will become more powerful as time passes. It only starts to attack from Round 5 and above.

Zombies will appear from 4 sewers, same as the map Lost City.

There are a total of 15 rounds. The time for each round is 3 minutes. So the whole game will take more than 45 minutes, plus freeze time. The time taken also depends on the strength and /or the number of retries by the whole team.

After finishing Culvert, the player will get Dione Pursuit Diary No.2 (Note: this item cannot be obtained anymore after Zombie Scenario Re:boot. Instead, the players will receive the new ones).

Tips

 * Always run in a same direction to avoid being trapped by zombies. Players are recommended to run in a clockwise direction.
 * Player can 'camp' at the left or right or any of the four pipes to farm health and damage quickly.
 * Lightweight guns are suitable for killing and running from zombies.
 * M79 Saw Off is recommended for running & surviving purposes.
 * Focus on Siege-Type Dione while he's collecting the poison and jump at the right time to avoid being hit.
 * Avoid being hit by Siege-Type Dione while he curl up and roll to another spot. You will die instantly if you get a direct hit.
 * At round 4, Dione will only come rolling at certain directions.
 * At round 9, Dione will start spitting poison.

Trivia
