War Zone

War Zone is a Disaster Level. During the disaster, many Soldiers will spawn from the starting Elevator while Cannibals will spawn from uncovered Manholes. The Soldiers start out neutral but the Cannibals will be Hostile and they'll attack anyone indiscriminately who aren't cannibals, including the player.

All soldiers use Machineguns while the cannibals use Machineguns, Shotguns, Revolvers or Knives and Axes respectively. Both soldiers and cannibals do not drop any weapons or items when neutralized.

Both sides will keep on respawning and fight endlessly for the entire level.

Butler Bots appear to clean up corpses in this disaster.

Tips and Strategies

• The Soldiers tend to have an upper hand in the war. This usually means that the areas with uncovered Manholes is where most of the fighting occurs.
• Cannibals will attack any NPCs throughout the level, including Cops caught in the crossfire.
• Don't bother trying to help either side. The war is endless and you will likely hit your "allies" by accident and make both sides Hostile to you.
  • Never attack Soldiers as non-Cannibal characters unless willing and able to deal with an endlessly respawning army of NPCs with machine guns and a level 4 in firearms.
  • Cannibal players will be Aligned with the Cannibals who are fighting the Hostile Soldiers, whilst Soldier Players will be Aligned with other Soldiers.

• NPC followers will retaliate back when hit by a cannibal or when accidentally shot by a soldier, and can cause unwanted fights and turn the soldiers hostile towards you. It's best to dismiss, or station them away from combat in these levels. This also makes Rescue missions and the Bouncer's Big Quest very difficult.
• Cool with Cannibals trait will turn the Cannibals neutral towards you, making this disaster less of a danger as long as you avoid the crossfire and you don't accidentally hurt one.
  • However they'll still attack your NPC followers and prisoners, who will need to be escorted.
• Butler Bots will steal dropped items if you wait too long, so be quick about picking up loot.
• If the No Guns mutator is active, Soldiers will have swords while Cannibals have Axes or Knives.
• If your a Soldier or a Cannibal, its best to have No In-Fighting to have less of your teammates conspiring against you if you do too much friendly fire on accident.

Notes

• Both soldiers and cannibals can run out of ammo or break their weapons. Resulting in them sometimes picking up weapons such as Police Batons from dead cops or attacking with their Fists, unless Infinite Ammo or Infinite Melee Durability mutators are turned on.

• Previously both sides used to drop their weapons upon death. This was patched for obvious reasons.
