About

Outbreak is a live action RPG where humans fight to survive an entire week at DigiPen. During the week of Outbreak, humans must use Nerf weapons to defend themselves from zombies.
Every night of the week during outbreak features a new and unique mission sent out through mission mailers. These missions feature objectives that usually result in a reward for one team or the other based on the outcome of the mission.
When a zombie tags a player, they take that players code and input it into the kill tracker. It then shows up on the map as a location where a player has died. You can see who is living and who is dead on the player index page.
