Walker
CommonFrom wave 1
The slow, shuffling bulk of every horde. Alone they're nothing; in a crowd they bury the car.
How to beat it
Keep moving and let the turret work. Ram them at speed.
Zombie field guide
Know what's coming
Thirteen kinds of dead, from shuffling Walkers to a world boss every player fights together. In the game, each one has a portrait in the Field Guide that fills in when you kill your first.
The horde
Common and special zombies
New kinds join as the waves go on. At night twice as many come, and in the dunes they're 12% faster.
Runner
CommonFrom wave 3
Fast zombies that sprint after the car and pile onto it.
How to beat it
Don't stop. Fast rams scoop them over the bonnet.
Crawler
SpecialFrom wave 2
Drags itself along the road, low and fast, under the line of a lot of fire.
How to beat it
Run them over or let the shotgun and flamethrower sweep the road.
Exploder
SpecialFrom wave 4
Swells up and bursts on contact or when killed, setting off the ones next to it in a chain.
How to beat it
Shoot them early, in the middle of a crowd, for chain reactions.
Spitter
SpecialFrom wave 6
Keeps its distance and lobs acid that lands where you were.
How to beat it
Never sit still. Change direction and the acid lands behind you.
Armored
SpecialFrom wave 5
Riot gear soaks up small hits: bullets and pellets barely hurt.
How to beat it
Rockets, the railgun, the tesla coil or your bumper.
Zombie Dog
SpecialFrom wave 3
Packs of three to seven pick up your scent, run you down from behind, fan out and leap at the car.
How to beat it
They're fragile: floor it, then ram or shoot them as they flank.
Hurler
SpecialFrom wave 4
A big zombie with one huge arm that rips rocks out of the road and throws them where you'll be. A red ring shows where it lands.
How to beat it
Steer out of the ring. 380 health and a stony back: bring heavy guns.
The Witch
SpecialFrom wave 3
The fastest thing in the game. She darts in zigzags, slashes, and screams to bring every zombie for 110 m plus a fresh horde.
How to beat it
Flames, the tesla coil and explosions catch her. Kill her while she stops to scream.
Bosses
Read the red. Hit them when they're winded.
Every boss has several attacks, each warned of by a red ring or strip on the road that fills up until it hits. Low on health they're ENRAGED. Dodge a pound or pounce, or let the Ravager hit a wall, and they're WINDED in a gold ring, taking 50% more damage.
Brute
BossEvery 5th wave
A hulking boss with rebar through it that pounds the ground round its feet and throws boulders from afar.
How to beat it
Dodge the pound and it's winded in a gold ring, taking +50% damage.
Ravager
BossFinal boss of stages 1, 3 and 5
A spiked boss that marks a red line on the road and charges along it, pounces and fires fans of bone spikes.
How to beat it
Steer off the line, or lure it into a tree or wreck to stun it.
Behemoth
BossFinal boss of stages 2, 4 and 5, and the Road Trip
A horde boss three times your height, made of fused bodies. It slams the road, opens erupting fissures and bursts open to spill out zombies.
How to beat it
Stay out of the slam ring and clear the crowds it sheds before they swarm you.
The Colossus
BossWorld Boss event
A giant Behemoth nearly twice as big, with one health bar shared by every player of the game.
How to beat it
You have four minutes to hurt it as much as you can before it walks off.
