Live Events, Server Events and Trophies
On this page
The server doesn't just sit there. Live events can find you wherever you are, scheduled server events change the rules for everyone for a while, and the best players earn trophies that can't be bought.
Live events
Lou, the server's assistant, watches the world and now and then sends a live event your way. Each one lasts around 10 to 15 minutes. Kill everything it sends, and a loot bag drops for you, rolled at your gamestage.
| Event | What happens | From |
|---|---|---|
| First Blood | One to three ordinary zombies wander toward you. A gentle first taste. | Level 1 |
| Ambush | Ferals appear inside the building you're in, out of sight | Level 5 |
| Crash Site | A supply crate parachutes down 50 to 90 m away, guarded by a squad of zombie soldiers; ferals follow | Level 8 |
| Distress Call | A crate lands 90 to 140 m away with soldiers around it | Level 12 |
| Screamer Trouble | Screamers are drawn to you, and they call in more | Level 15 |
| Siege | Three waves hit your base (you need to be near your land claim) | Level 15 |
| Trader Siege | Three waves hit the trader you're at | Level 15 |
| Infestation | The building you're in fills up, then ferals arrive | Level 15 |
| The Collector | Tough ferals hunt you, and at higher levels the Reaper comes after them | Level 15 |
| Tracker | A single tough feral tracks you down | Level 20 |
| Aftershock Nest | Ferals swarm a spot near you | Level 20 |
| Feral Hour | A pack of ferals comes looking | Level 25 |
- Events get bigger at higher levels, and some grow when friends are nearby.
- You won't get more than one event every 45 minutes, and never right after you respawn.
- Events never happen inside PvP zones.
- Leftover event zombies disappear when the event times out.
Scheduled server events
Admins schedule server-wide events on the website. While one is running, a buff shows on your screen:
- XP events: all XP you earn is boosted by 25%, 50% or doubled. Nothing to do but play.
- Headshot Only: zombies only take damage from headshots, and your head damage is boosted 50%. Traps and turrets still work normally.
Watch the website and Discord for dates.
Trophies
Trophies are one-of-one prestige items, awarded for real achievements. They can't be bought.
Placeable trophies
- Champion's Cup: the highest honour on the server. One cup per event, one name per cup.
- Horde Slayer Plaque: for the survivor who killed the most in an event.
- First Blood Monument: for the first blood of an event.
- Blood Moon Survivor Trophy: for standing through the event blood moon to the end.
- The Duke's Favor: the rarest object on the server.
Carry tokens: Champion's Dog Tag, Survivor's Bloodstone, The Duke's Marker, Collector's Mark, Siege Banner, Trader's Favour and Bounty Tag. Each one is earned by a specific feat.
Keep trophies inside your land claim. Outside a claim, anyone can walk off with your legacy.
