Hero Mode.
Hero Mode is a game mode based of Zombie Mod 3 (Zombie: The Hero) from Counter-Strike Online, also extending on Mutation Mode. This mode throw more threatening mutants against soldiers, but then a Hero emerge.
- Hero Mode (most versions).
- Zombie v3 (VN; ref CSO).
- Savior Mode (China).
- Mutation Ⅱ (Russia).
Basics
Like Mutation Mode, every soldiers have 20 seconds to scatter around the various maps to find a suitable spot and defend the best they can. The round starts with three host berserker mutants if the room is full, instead of two in Mutation. Additional, one random soldier will also become the Hero (see below).
For each kills by the soldier teams will gain 20% more power to deal massive damages on the mutants, max is 100% power damages. On the other hand, mutants have more evolve state, which requires more infection to evolve into other class, however, getting shot can also trigger anger which gives 1 evolve state (same for body adsorbing).
The main catch in this mode is that mutants no longer die permanently if being killed, unless however they are killed by headshot which will then end the round for that mutant. It is considered one of the hardest mode due this gimmick since headshot on mutants is not always an easy thing to do.
The Hero
Chosen one, by luck, must leads the soldiers by providing best defense as possible. Armed with a powerful Fal Camo (modified FAL Custom) that has a grenade launcher attachment. He has 60 bullets per magazines and 3 grenades in tube. His weapon is deadly in any range and can blast mutants away with his grenades.
When the Hero needs ammunation, any supply crates he takes will automatically refill his ammo and grenades. He also has his own Mutation Jacket which can also be stacked with another one if the player already had one equipped. Due the Hero tag above his head, it is usually the most wanted in the mode for its reward of five kills.
Mutants
Mutants are more threatening in this mode than they are in Mutation, due the fact they have way more HPs than ever before and also respawn within five seconds after getting killed, unless by a headshot. They heals much faster too, but with 200 HP only per seconds.
When respawn, mutants will not knockback for three seconds, which can screw up certain spots where soldiers might be camping. This is probably to avoid instant respawn ambush.
Strategy
Soldiers
- Remember all spawning points in the map and watch out when the mutants respawn. Since they won't get knock back for 3 seconds after respawning, you could get mutated easily if you happen to run into them.
- The Hero should back up team members with Grenade Launcher. Keep your precious grenades to blast the mutants away when your teammates run back to defense position.
- Concentrate on getting headshots to take down the mutants permanently. If you can't score the killing blow, you will at least score more damages and points.
Mutants
- As you can earn evolution points by taking damages, try peeking out to let the soldiers shoot at you.
- If you get ambushed, jump and strafe to make it harder for soldiers to headshot you, so you can respawn.
- Sometimes the soldiers will defend a place where you can respawn. In this case, brute force it until you respawn in there and you could easily mutate everyone before they know what happens.
