Zombie Shelter was a survival game mode, replaced by its Zombie Shelter: Coop andZombie Shelter: Team Match successors in Counter-Strike Online.




Overview[]
You should collect resources to upgrade your shelter and survive the zombies attack in this mode. Make a radio call within the time limit and request for rescue. Destroy the enemy’s shelter to prevent upgrading of the shelter and request for rescue.
Gameplay[]
The objective of the mode is to win by calling backup from a radio. This can be done by collecting resources after fully upgrading your shelter.The game will be divided into two parts during a round, Day and Night.
During the day, the players will have to collect resources (wood and metal) scattered around the map. These resources will be the most essential object in the game as you will need them to upgrade your shelter. Beware of the time limit and other players as they will try to steal your resources and/or attack you.
During the night, the zombies will start attacking each player's shelter. You will need to defend yourself for this.
As time passes, your hunger meter will decrease. If it reaches zero, your health eventually decrease as well until your death. It is advisable to keep your hunger meter full.
Also, zombies move slower during the day but run faster during the night. Money can be obtained by killing zombies and other humans.

Tips[]
- When the game has started, there are wood (3 quantities) and steel (3 quantities) near your shelter. Try to harvest 2 of 3 each of them everyday as they will regenerate back to 3 in the next day. If player depletes both of them, they will never appear again in next day and so on.
