The Blight
Get ready for a brand new event that pits players in the role of zombie hunters against the zombie outbreak.
Set in an undisclosed location, the infested base contains vital intel, crucial in dealing with the “contained” outbreak. Go in, secure the data transfer and survive the worst the horde has to throw at you. Standard equipment has been re-purposed and supplemented with new gadgets and weapons in order to deal with the new threat. The zombies behavior and difficulty changes depending on the mission phase and number of zombie hunter on the map.

Mission Objectives

1st Phase Objective

Scout the base and defeat zombies to recover keycards required to activate the mainframe computer before the timer runs out. Once all the required cards have been collected, deliver them to the mainframe and prepare for Phase 2.
2nd Phase Objective

When the mainframe is activated, zombies will start to swarm in the base through all 3 access points and try to destroy it. Keep yourself and the mainframe functional until the transfer timer runs out. If successful, get ready for the boss showdown in Phase 3.

3rd Phase Objective

You now face the blight’s full on wrath! Led by a monstrous Gargantuan Zombie Boss, zombies swarm in to eliminate you. Take out the Boss to complete the mission.

The end? Push your luck

After defeating the Boss, you can choose to end the mission there and collect your reward, but the threat is far from neutralized. Choose to push your luck, and complete the objectives on a higher difficulty for better rewards. Should you fail at this point, there will be no reward.
Rewards consist of event specific packs of different quality, depending on the difficulty you have completed in order to earn them. These contain Blight Event weapon blueprints, gadgets & ammo.
Opening these packs is conditioned by a timer. You can choose to skip this timer with eagle credits.
You can hold up to 4 unopened packs at a time. Playing further will provide progress within the Blight pass, but will not award additional packs, until a packs slot becomes available.
