Enemy System

Infected Variants

Each infected class changes the tempo of a round, from common pressure enemies to rare threats that force players to reposition and coordinate.

Walker infected variant

Walker

The most common type, with player-like silhouettes, blue-green skin tones, and shuffling movement.

Runner infected variant
02

Runner

An uncommon variant that behaves like a Walker but closes distance much faster.

Bloater infected variant
03

Bloater

A toxin-filled enemy that releases harmful gas and explodes in a small radius when killed.

Wrecker infected variant
04

Wrecker

A rare, dangerous charger with a massive right arm and severe melee damage potential.

Ravager infected variant

Ravager

The largest threat, able to jump long distances, grab players, smash them down, and absorb heavy damage.

Build Notes

Implementation Details

The repository focuses on the essential scripts behind the game. Models and some important production assets are intentionally outside the public source.

  • Organized Roblox gameplay scripts with Rojo for a more scalable development workflow.
  • Created round-based survivor objectives around eliminating infected and completing missions.
  • Designed enemy variants that alter pacing through speed, area damage, charge attacks, and boss-style disruption.
  • Supported player progression with rewards, survival equipment, and cosmetic customization.
  • Documented a later successor project, DeadX, as a refactor built from improved practices and experience.
