Saber Interactive has released the Holy Terror update for their zombie shooter World War Z: Aftermath. The new major update added a new map, weapons, perks, cosmetics, and more.

It has been over half a year since the introduction of the first Horde XL map, which was set in Tokyo. With this latest update, we finally got a second map to play it on. This time, the zombies are taking the fight to Rome. Take up arms and fight the massive horde on both the streets and the rooftops. 

To add to the difficulty, 12 new mutators have been added to the horde mode challenge. These range from lowering the damage to your primary weapons by 75% or “hot-tempered bull” which causes explosions every time the bull slams down on the ground.

Not all mutators are bad, however, some will heal the player if they stand in an explosion or call in an airstrike that hits three random locations on the map.

Two new weapons have been added to help you defend and survive. The repeating rifle is a new gun you equip in your primary weapon slot. For people that like a little more carnage there is the newest heavy weapon, the multi-shot rocket launcher, and it will pack a punch.

Some of the older guns have gotten some love as well in the form of new weapon perks.

Each player class has gotten 9 new perks to choose from and can get four new trinkets to wear on their backpack. 

A new paid DLC has been added to the game. The “victory lap weapons skin pack” is as the name implies a cosmetic DLC for your weapons.

What do you think of the Horde XL mode? Let me know in the comments.
