As part of this year’s Halloween festivities, Rockstar Games released a zombie survival which took the GTA Online community by storm. Set in North Yankton’s Ludendorff Cemetery as seen in GTA V’s Story Mode, players fight against waves of the undead.
It has been very popular with millions of players checking it out since its release. Whilst the location was the biggest pull, many enjoyed taking on zombies much like they did in Red Dead Redemption’s Undead Nightmare.
There are many creative and talented members of the GTA Online community that bring new jobs to the table. Anyone can create a job. These jobs can now include zombies (including variants!) but you have to do a few steps to actually get them to appear in the survival creator menu.
