The First Room

On ZFRR, the First Room of Outbreak is the Courtyard, the large yard outside the Atlas facility where the four survivors start every game. A bus is parked in the middle of it, and the burning wreck of the Warbird that crashed in the intro lies against one of its walls. Every player starts with 500 credits, an Atlas 45 pistol and four frag grenades, one of which comes back each round up to four. Nobody has an exoskeleton yet: the Exo Suits wait in the Exo Testing Room, at the heart of the facility.
The Courtyard has two doors, both sold for 750 credits: one leads to the Administration, the other to the Main Hub. In a First Room game they stay closed, so the Exo Suits, the 3D Printer, the Upgrade Stations and every exo upgrade but one stay out of reach.
| Weapon | Cost | Area | |
|---|---|---|---|
![]() | MK14 | 500 | Courtyard |
![]() | Bulldog | 500 | Courtyard |
Those are the only two wall weapons of the Courtyard. In Exo Zombies, wall weapons are printed on the spot: the weapon shows as a green hologram on the wall until it is bought.

The two printers
The MK14 and the Bulldog each glow on their own wall printer. The MK14 has more range and ammunition, the Bulldog hits harder up close and reloads faster.

The power switch
A generator behind the players when they spawn. Turning it on powers Exo Medic, the only exo upgrade of the Courtyard.

Exo Medic in the Courtyard
By the door to the Administration: 500 credits in solo, where it works as a self-revive and can be bought three times, and 1,500 credits with other players, where it makes reviving teammates twice as fast. It is the only exo upgrade that does not need an Exo Suit.

The Administration door
One of the two 750-credit doors, its frame lined with red light. The Decontamination Zone that cures infected players is behind it.

The Warbird wreck
The rescue Warbird of the intro lies burning against the facility wall, straight ahead of the spawn. The Black Box that starts the main quest sits just outside the wreck.
Where the zombies come from
They drop from three spots on the rooftops, climb in through three windows and crawl out from under the bus. Players often run a train around the bus.
Orbital Care Packages
They land at random during the rounds, and most of them come down in the starting area.
Host rounds
A Host that hits a player infects them, and the player has a short time to reach the Decontamination Zone, which costs 250 credits, before dying. With the Administration door closed, the only cure is to finish the round: the last zombie of a Host round drops a Full Reload and cures every infected player.
Security Dog rounds
The dogs come out of their kennels during their own rounds, and the last one drops a Full Reload. Some of them act like EMZs or Exploders.
The Outbreak leaderboard is a single board for the map, with no category of its own. Its rules:
Doors closed
Reach the highest round you can without opening any door or barrier.
Full rounds
Every round must be played in full, and glitches and exploits are not allowed.
Platforms
On PC the S1X client is allowed. Playing on Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 is not allowed, because the game plays too differently on the previous generation.
Video
The whole game must be recorded. A Twitch video must be saved as a highlight, since past broadcasts are not accepted; a YouTube video must be public or unlisted.
