Control Points

Control Points Control Points are used to determine who, Citizen Citizens or zombies, have control over a zone in the World Beyond World Beyond.

Each zombie in a zone generates 1 CP; each human in a zone generates 2. If you are Terrified Terrorised, you generate 0 CP (even if you have any of the following CP boosters). If Human CPs are equal to or more than zombie CPs, humans will control the zone; otherwise, any and all humans are trapped.

There are a number of ways to increase your control points beyond 2, to a maximum of 7:

• The hero profession Guardian Guardian provides a Riot Shield Riot Shield which provides an extra 2 CP.
• The hero skill Healthy Body Healthy Body provides an extra 1 CP while Clean Clean.
• The hero skill Brick S**thouse Brick S**thouse provides an extra 1 CP.
• A Car Door Car Door gives an extra 1 CP if carried.

Loss of Control

• If the zone is controlled by humans (their score is higher than that of the zombies) and control is subsequently lost (for example by a player leaving the zone), all the remaining players will be trapped after 30 minutes.

Temporary Control

Temporary control of a zone allows Citizen Citizens to perform actions for a short duration of time, such as leaving the zone without becoming Wounded Wounded, and can be achieved in several ways:

• Using a Grisly Bomb Grisly Bomb will grant control of the zone for 40 seconds
• Using a Flash Grenade Flash Grenade will grant control of the zone for 5 minutes
• Successfully using the Pre-war Camera Pre-war Camera will grant control of the zone for 2 minutes/1 minute/30 seconds respectively
• Successfully using the Break Through Break Through ability will grant control of the zone for 10 minutes

Notes

• As of Season 4, there was a bug that allowed to generate as many CPs in a zone as necessary to gain control. It involved a pairing of a Manbag Manbag and a Car Door Car Door. If both were carried, clicking on the manbag dropped all the contents of the citizen's rucksack while still not subtracting 1 bonus CP the car door provides. Picking the door back up increased the CP value by one. As you can see, such trick could be repeated a desired amount of times.
  • Use of this exploit during the Clash of the Titans Clash of the Titans is believed to have forced MotionTwin to fix the problem.
