New Zombie Shelter

For original mode, see Zombie Shelter.

New Zombie Shelter is a replacement for the old Zombie Shelter game mode in Counter-Strike Online.

Overview[]

New Zombie Shelter is a complete expansion from the Old Zombie Shelter, with more features and new game mechanics.

While the Old Zombie Shelter is simply PvPvE, the new mode has two variations: Team Match and Co-Op. The new mode is also teamwork-oriented than the original, with teams taking care of one friendly shelter instead of a shelter for each individual.

Also, the Hammer is no longer available in this mode. The Shelter Axe's performance has been tweaked so that only one slash is enough to reap one quantity of a respective resource.

Trivia[]

The icon for the Shelter Tier 4 was present back when the corresponding update was not released, however it was from the Old Zombie Shelter model.
Like its predecessor, in this mode, if a player dies during night, he/she will spectate the others with a Night vision goggle automatically.
After New Zombie Shelter was released in Indonesia region, there is a bug where players were still given the special mission for old Zombie Shelter instead of the new ones. Also, the old version of "City of Damned" can still be played.
So far, the current maps for this mode have plenty of structures which cause bosses to get up there by jumping, making it difficult to defeat them.
There is a bug where a player can get stuck in a building, if he/she was constructing it inside a solid part of the structure. This often happens when upgrading the shelter. Unfortunately, this hasn't been fixed yet and the only way to get out is by getting killed.
- This bug may be fixed by pressing the jump or duck key. In the worst case, the player can try to record a demo then stop recording it to refresh the model entity.
Latency may be affected by the amount of entities presented in the map, this usually happens during night time because of the constant zombies spawning at a pace which increases each day, alongside the amount of buildings, specially defense buildings such as the Mortars or Gatling Turrets.
Unbeknownst to players, gameplay has been yet again tweaked, some skills have been subjected to changes either to balance or give more advantage to players.
Whenever a player uses Cloak skill, some might experience latency issues accompanied of Light zombie's and Regular zombie's death cry looping while the buff is active.
There was a glitch related with the Cloak skill by which the user would be able to use it for an indefinite amount of time until it got patched with the Zombie Mode Rework update.
There's a trick involving the Cloak skill whereby a player can defeat a boss quickly without use of weapons, it can be done in two ways:
1. Plant a C4 close enough so it can damage even a little bit them. 15 seconds before it detonates, reset your skills to that of a tier-4-Survival class and trigger the Cloak skill; the explosion will be enough to deal with them.
2. Engage the Cloak skill and quickly reset your skills sets to that of a tier-4-Combat class, prior to getting into the boss area lock-on to them, procceed to go once the projectiles are about to drop, it should take around 3 ~ 4 hits of the missiles while the Cloak skill is still activate to take them down.
- You must have earned the maximum amount of cash, which is $32000 in order to reset your skill set and at least survive by the eighth day.
There was a common bug related to non-hitscan weapons whereby skills that were meant to buff the firepower would be neglected. Players would usually fire the projectile first and then trigger the Cloak skill in order to the effect be applied. This was patched in the 2016 update.
