Ridding the world of Zeeks is now even more fun than before, thanks to the HumanitZ Outlast and Outrun Update. This patch brings new dangers and objectives for survivors to experience and enjoy. There's also a new game mode wherein players must defend waves of Zeeks every in-game day. With that, let's dive into the HumanitZ Outlast and Outrun update and its exciting patch notes.

What’s in the HumanitZ Outlast and Outrun Update?

The HumanitZ Outlast and Outrun Update brings new additions, changes, quality-of-life improvements, and bug fixes to the post-apocalyptic zombie survival title. First, players can test their skills in the new game mode called Swamp Survival. Here, survivors must defend themselves against a seemingly unending gauntlet of the undead. Additionally, players can now find and explore multistory buildings in the game. Now, players can locate and go into tall establishments in different parts of the map and take the loot for themselves. However, exploring this world run by the undead is now more threatening than before, thanks to new Zeek models. Aside from the old zombie menace, survivors must now use their abilities and gear to defeat new Zeeks, such as new runners, walkers, and police officers. If it seems like the Zeeks are overpowering you with their numbers, flee the scene with new vehicle models, especially when completing tasks like repairing the Radio Tower. Now, you can repair and drive vehicles, like muscle and rally cars. Apart from these additions, the HumanitZ Outlast and Outrun Update also adds various changes, such as an increase to the base defense health. Also, the Improvised Axe now has more durability than before. Additionally, getting crafted items will now stack whenever possible.
