“Along with the ‘Billy’ skin for Morte, the SAW Bundle features The Phlebotomozier Lethal Equipment piece, a special throwing knife will drill into your enemies upon impact. And oh yes, there will be blood… if it lands on target.”

Furthermore, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre will feature the iconic Leatherface. In addition, there will be the “Family Heirloom” LMG blueprint which will come with a stock attachment that allows players to wield the weapon as a chainsaw.

The gore doesn’t stop there. There is a secondary weapon blueprint included that turns it into something that a butcher would use.

With a bone-breaker on one side, and a meat tenderizer on the other side, commonly used in your local slaughterhouse, which some hitchhikers claim is ‘the better way’ of slaughtering cattle.”

New mode- Zombie Royale

“When the clock strikes midnight in Verdansk, it’s time to bring out the undead.”

Just eliminating a player in Verdansk will not be enough, now. Players when killed will turn into zombies instead of being sent to the Gulag. These zombies will sport faster speeds, heavy melee attacks, and thermal vision.

Nonetheless, Zombies can still return to their squads if they wish. Pick up two syringes to parachute back into Verdansk. The last squad with most human operators will win the undead royale rumble.

The newest shotgun will have the highest fire rate among any variant of its genre. It will also come with unique attachments, like the 32-Round Drum Mags that allow it to have the biggest magazine size for any shotgun.

Players can acquire this weapon from the “Lacedaemon” Store bundle. The Haunting of Verdansk begins on October 20th and ends November 3rd.
