Zombie Infection Breaks out in GTA IV

Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo October 23rd, 2008 at 7:25 PM

Play any GTA IV co-op lately? No? You might want to head back into Liberty City then. There's been some changes around town, including a mysterious virus that is changing players into zombies. Brain eating, blood spewing, Russian gangster zombies at that.

The disease exists in any of the multiplayer modes and occurs when a player kills another player who is infected. What's worse? That player may not even KNOW they are infected yet. Players that are infected will either have the "Let sleeping Rockstars Lie" achievement, or be sporting the zombie player skin.

You can track the spread of the virus at Rockstar's Social Club website. All the more reason to play co-op and not kill each other, right? Nobody wants to BE a zombie, they only want to kill them.

I got the achievement during the Live Weekend. But how do I know if I got the skin? I don't see it and Rockstar Social Club doesn't tell me if I have it.

This is only for the 360 version correct?

Nope, both versions.

Do you get the "Let sleeping Rockstars Lie" when you kill a zombie? From the article, it seems to be what they use to know if you are a zombie. Probably doesn't matter since I doubt I'll get my xbox back in time

I like the idea. I'm not a zombie fan, but what a cool way to change up gameplay and add immersion!

It doesn't have to be someone using the zombie outfit, they just have to have the achievement.

I'm going to look at my GTAIV guy and see if I have the outfit.

if it's like the 360 version, I think you can make a custom game mode with infinite respawns.

No you CAN play it by yourself, but the FUN is playing WITH others not AGAINST others.

Is there a way to lower the difficulty level of GRAW 2 Coop or increase the number of respawns? Being four newbies, we die every

Does co-optimus just post games that have lots of co-op, or just some? A new game I have "Go! Go! Break Steady" sort of has co-o

Is this one of those games you can't just play by yourself? I played the demo by itself, and it was ok. I thought the same of Ro
