Zombies, Run! 2 — Supply Missions Are Back!

The latest update for the ZR2 app now re-introduces the Supply Missions from Season 1. These missions are not storyline related and do not end. They go on for as long as you want. When you end the mission, the final audio clip plays. I haven’t checked since the update, but as these are optional, I don’t believe they will give you Materials for your base. Also, in the original ZR app, you could only do supply missions after playing certain missions. For example, you could only play the Fuel Run Supply Mission after the mission where you are introduced to Ed and Molly. Such a restriction is no longer the case.

Zombies, Run! | Your cool bases

Hey, check it out. I got mentioned :)

Next we have Blenderfox’s… unique vision of Abel Township. One that features seven fully upgraded training areas. Presumably so that Runners have no excuse not to keep active between missions. Though, at least they get to go to sleep in actual houses of an evening…

Well, considering I focused on defense first and foremost before developing the rest, Training Areas were one of the few buildings which pushed up the Defense rating of the base. Others, such as the Comms shack didn’t push the defense up as much because it also increased Morale.

Now, with Defense and Morale at 100%, I can start working on using the other buildings.

The guys at Six to Start were right though. My base is definitely “unique”. It’s the only one with more than one Training Area. And the only one to have all of them fully upgraded (although they don’t all have the full addons)

The article didn’t have a good picture of the base, so here’s a better shot (clickable to go full-screen):

Zombies, Run! Audio Extraction Script

Here’s a snippet to extract all the ZR zips. Copy all the zips onto your desktop and run this in a console window

for a in *.zip
do
unzip -o $a -d `basename $a .zip`
rm $a
rm `basename $a .zip`/*.json
done

Now, each ZR zip contains the audio (as mp3s), plus a json file detailing what item ranges can be picked up during each block and with what probability. We don’t need this for what we are doing.

There’s also no telling whether or not Six to Start will start including other files within their zips, so rather than extract just the mp3s, I extract everything, then take out what I know I don’t need.

 

Zombies, Run! Building Requirements & Achievements

I’ve started work on two FAQs which list the building requirements and achievements that can be unlocked in the game. The links are:

http://goo.gl/WdZsEV (Achievements)

http://goo.gl/VhwuCa (Building Requirements)

The information isn’t quite complete as I haven’t built all the buildings, or unlocked all the achievements. But it’s a start. I’ve made a guess on some of the requirements for some of the achievements, but they’re not confirmed. If you’ve unlocked any of the ones I’m missing, let me know, so I can fill the gaps.

Order & Chaos

Gameloft really need to review their way that they design their maps and the monsters. I just got stuck in a spawn point, being killed by monsters before my load screen disappeared, losing money each time I die, then respawning to the same point, then getting killed again, losing more money, respawning again, then dying again, repeat ad lib.

Order and Chaos

I’m playing Order & Chaos on my Android, and I’m planning my build. I’m going to go for a defensive build, which is mainly Permafrost/Frost/Ice-based skills. So after playing with this calculator at OAC, I’ve found that I can max out every skill by the time I hit the cap of L60, except for the two skills which are sleep-spells, and are practically useless – they send the opponent to sleep, and any attacks or skills wake them up again.
