Yeah, this can be a pain in the ass, but really, how are you going to find those mythical creatures if you fast travel all the time? The undead steeds are much more resilient and won't get tired, but they're tough to control. Thankfully, you have easy access to a zombie horse - just shoot your regular horse in the head, wait, and whistle. It's too dangerous to park your tiny caravan randomly, so instead if you want to get around quickly you'll need to save settlements. Undead Nightmare encourages (well, sort of forces, I guess) you to go out and explore the wilderness with the removal of campsite fast travel. When you clear out a town, you are rewarded with ammo chests and the ability to use a safe house there. Your motives don't necessarily spring from the kindness of your heart. Mainly, the undead are taking over and it's up to you to lend a helping hand.

The intention of Undead Nightmare is to play around and have fun in a giant ludicrous sandbox world, not to make you feel guilty over murdering someone for a few bullets. So do what you want - kill survivors and swipe their ammo or work in tandem with them. Such desperate times also call for desperate measures, and thankfully your actions are no longer measured by an Honor meter. It's every man and woman for themselves in a zombie apocalypse and the only thing worth fighting over is ammo, which explains the lack of cash in the economy. There are five new challenge ranks to conquer, wacky side-missions to enjoy and a main storyline full of theories of how the dead rose from their graves. So instead of hunting for fugitives, you'll search for lost family members, and clearing out graveyards is a substitute for the gang hideouts. The missions are the same style as in Red Dead Redemption, but they're altered. Though the game has received a zombie face-lift, it still plays out in a very familiar way. So if you see a poor soul bitten by one of the damned, don't turn your back on him - he'll likely rise up and try to feast on you. Variety aside, the coolest aspect of the undead infection is that the virus spreads in real-time. There are also big fat ones that will try to knock you down, oozing green ones that spit poisonous venom, and creepy crawling ones that sort of remind me of that chick from The Grudge movies. The normal walkers - slow from far away but will start running once they catch a whiff of your scent - are obviously the most common. In fact, a few of the zombies in Undead Nightmare look like they shuffled on over from a popular zombie shooter. There are also new close-up kill animations that are pretty cool and can help get you out of tough spots. Using these new tools you can mix up your strategy when fighting off waves of brain-eaters - bait and bomb them or just pull off a series of head shots using Dead Eye. Using leftover zombie body parts as ammo, the blunderbuss will literally evaporate anything that is stupid enough to wander down your sights. To make it more enjoyable, you'll have some new weapons at your disposal: holy water, undead bait, and the ever-awesome blunderbuss. Killing zombies is really fun - I imagine that's why they're commonly cast in videogames and horror flicks. Now, before you head into the undead-infested wilds by your lonesome, keep in mind that general zombie survival rules apply:ġ) Zombies are jerks that want to nom on your tasty brains, so don't trust them.ģ) If its head hasn't exploded, it's probably still coming to eat you.ĥ) Zombies can't climb ladders, so get up high for a better chance of survival. Luckily, John Marston is around and he's not going to stand for such a dire situation. Relatives rise from the grave only to grab a bite out of their loved ones, and best friends quickly turn into bitter enemies due to fear. It's a dark and stormy night, and all of a sudden regular folks are transforming into flesh-eating monsters. The nightmare begins when John and his family are having a peaceful evening together at their ranch at Beecher's Hope.
