How a run works

  1. 1
    Pick a class

    Infantry, Officer, Sapper, Musician, Surgeon and more — each brings a role: DPS, buffs, barricades, healing or morale.

  2. 2
    Hold or advance

    Maps play as objective sieges or endless holds — the Blight keeps coming, and positioning beats reflexes.

  3. 3
    Manage reload discipline

    Flintlocks take seconds to reload — miss your window and the horde is on you. Fire in volleys, fall back to reload.

  4. 4
    Watch for special infected

    Runners, Bombers, Zappers and Igniters break formations — call targets and drop them before they reach the line.

Transylvania — the Dracula boss

The Halloween boss map puts your squad inside Dracula's castle. Normal bullets barely hurt him — the fight is built around making silver ammunition.

  1. 1
    Loot silver on floor 1

    Collect silver items from chests and around the castle while dodging Dracula's claw dashes — melee is safer than firearms here.

  2. 2
    Smelt it in the kitchen

    Deposit silver in the kitchen melting pot — seconds later silver bullets spawn for the whole team.

  3. 3
    Drop him with headshots

    Silver bullets stagger Dracula — a headshot knocks him down. He turns invisible, teleports and glides, so watch for the bat effect.

  4. 4
    Clear the lair, stake the coffin

    After the first down he retreats upstairs and summons knights and vampires — finish him again, then interact with the coffin to drive the stake.

Beating Transylvania awards the Halloween badge; finishing without dying also earns the Voivode badge plus the Voivode and Iron Stake items.

Survival priorities

Stay grouped

Solo wanderers get picked off — the Blight punishes anyone more than a saber's length from the line.

Sappers win maps

Barricades funnel the horde into kill zones — a team without a Sapper fights in the open.

Surgeons and Musicians matter

Healing and morale buffs keep the line standing through long waves — don't all stack damage classes.

Bombers first

Special infected that explode or ignite wipe formations — prioritize them over the horde.
