Zombie Areas is an expedition shooter built around taking on zombies, completing objectives, and protecting allies. The game description refers to the title as “Zombie Regions” and lists 13 distinct missions. Players can find firearms, use character and vehicle controls, and unlock a free mode. Knowing the controls before starting can make it easier to move, aim, reload, and switch between on-foot and vehicle play.
What to Expect in Zombie Areas
The main challenge is to complete assigned objectives while fighting zombies. The 13 missions give players a series of tasks to work through, and the description also highlights protecting allies as part of the experience. A range of firearms is available to discover, with weapon switching handled through number keys or the mouse wheel.
Take a moment at the start of a mission to check the controls and identify the objective. This helps avoid losing time to unfamiliar movement or weapon inputs when action begins.
Character Controls
- W, A, S, D: Move your character.
- Space: Jump.
- R: Reload your weapon.
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5: Select a weapon; the mouse wheel can also switch weapons.
- L: Turn the light on or off.
- Shift: Sprint.
- Left mouse button: Attack.
- Right mouse button: Aim through the scope.
Reload with R when there is a safe opportunity, and use the weapon-selection keys to choose the firearm that suits the immediate situation. The light can be toggled with L; remember that it may need to be switched back on when visibility is limited.
