Decoy

Decoy Pursuit: Decoy (zs_decoy) is the third Zombie Scenario: Season 2 map in Counter-Strike Online.

Background

 * A briefing in the culvert while preparing for the next battle.

Gentleman, our strengths are heavily damage from Dione. Lots of comrades and innocent people that were killed couldn't die in peace. We must find this monster and kill it. We'll use a device to lure him which will also attract zombies too. According the Senior Researcher Soy's explanation. Firstly, Delta team will move into the operation area when they are ready. Delta team, try to secure a defensive position and be ready to activate the lure device. We'll launch the operation once Alpha team is ready to join Delta team. Watch out for each other and don't stay far behind from each others, That's all!

Alpha team is ready in a hour after Delta team entered the operation area. A bad feeling was felt when it started to rain at the moment when Alpha team entered the operation area.

Overview


Decoy takes place in a culvert where the players will see Siege Type Dione escaping. The players then must go through a swamp, eventually finding a factory. In the factory, instead of finding Dione, the players will meet Revenant, a new boss and will receive Dione Pursuit Diary No.3 item upon defeating Revenant (Note: this item cannot be obtained anymore after Zombie Scenario Re:boot. Instead, the players will receive the new ones).

In this map, there are several new weapons introduced:
 * Mounted browning machine gun: This machine gun can be used by all players. It fires 250 rounds of .50 BMG ammunition and cannot be reloaded, so it must be used wisely.
 * C4 and RC bomb: Used to blow up pipe obstacles by pressing the "E" button.
 * Radio: To call up directed bombing to destroy the the obstacles.

Trivia

 * Decoy is based on a custom Condition Zero: Deleted Scenes mission, Swamp. In this mission, the player must prevent the Terrorists from blowing up pipe with C4.
 * There is a dead SAS operative next to a radio.
 * When Round 2 starts, the players can hear the scream of surviving soldiers in a burning helicopter before Revenant spawns.
 * There are several music tracks that are inclusive to this map.
 * There are two Juggernauts appear in this map.
 * This is the third map where Ganymede appears.
 * Decoy means bait, or lure or entice (a person or animal) away from an intended course, typically into a trap.
 * This map used death vocals of Spy and Sniper from Team Fortress 2 which can be heard before Revenant entered the battle ring.
 * Near the factory, where two Ganymedes and two Deimoses spawn, there is a rock where the player can jump into, this is a good place where Ganymede's dash attack cannot damage the player.
 * In SG/MY region, there had been a bug that player obtains M14 EBR, M79 Saw off, Heavy zombie and Psycho zombie permanently instead of 1 day duration during Decoy Map event.
 * There is a bug in this map which is light bug, there is no dark. This happens mostly to OpenGL users.
 * There is also a bug in this map where you can walk in a normal speed on the swamp when you are using Balrog-IX with Balrog Charging System.
 * There is a glitch in the place with two Browning M2HBs, you can climb onto the roof; that places is highly recommended to upgrade your weapons since the zombies are unable to attack you unless a Ganymede dashes toward you.
 * Directed Airstrikes can kill both humans and zombies so beware using it.
