Trivia

• Since zombies were the only enemies present in the first ever ZBR (Halloween Event 2019), War Brokers players picked up the habit of referring to any ZBR enemies as "zombies", be the latter a Witch, a Gingerbread Man, or an Easter Bunny, just as how they refer to these modes collectively as ZBR. Other terms such as "undeads" are also used by some players.
• If you hide beneath a small tree, the monsters will not see you. Even if they do, they cannot hit you.
