New Community Challenge Update Now Available for ‘World War Z: Aftermath’ [Trailer]

Saber Interactive keeps on giving for World War Z: Aftermath fans, announcing a new Community Challenge update that’s available now for the co-op zombie shooter. The update includes new mutators, tests of skill and plenty of rewards for players on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

In total, seven new and three reworked mutators for Challenge Horde Mode are available, as well as Community Challenges, a new type of event in which all players participate and contribute. Here’s the rundown on the mutators:

New Mutators

• Hot Stuff: An unusual Juggernaut appears, taking no fire damage and setting fire with its attacks.
• Cluster Shells: Mortar shells are replaced with cluster shells that explode multiple times but deal less damage
• Doppelganger: During the wave, you’ll be attacked by a zombie version of you
• Fire-resistant: Zombies take no fire damage and don’t burn
• Acid Spit: The Infector’s infestation does constant damage instead of turning you into a zombie
• Effective Defense: Defensive kits have increased ammo capacity and durability, but are more expensive (permanent mutator)
• Overprice: Defense kits cost more

Reworked Mutators

• Epilogue: When the final gates are attacked, gas is released that’s lethal to zombies (Now recharges after five waves)
• Sell–out: Defense kits are cheaper, but you will no longer find items
• Taxes: Defense kits are more expensive, but you can find twice as many items

Meanwhile, the new Community Challenge gives World War Z: Aftermath players a limit of seven days to complete. If successfull, all players who have made the minimum contribution will be rewarded. These rewards are unique and not repeatable. The Community Challenges are planned to be run several times per update. The prize for the first challenge is a new skin for the MAG5 machine gun.

In addition, Extinction mode has been reworked and is now only available after completing any map on the Insane difficulty. There are currently two episodes in the mode from which to choose, and completing either will unlock a reward. Players will also discover additional rewards for completing Extinction mode, including new skins for the Taiga-12 heavy assault shotgun, Hailstorm MGL, and RPGL4 RPG launcher.
