April Fools Update: The Zombie Heist

Happy 1st of April (or rather, the day after, because I had to make sure stuff didn't breakːmissingː)

Do your best and rob the bank!

Custom GameMode: Zombie Heist

This gamemode only has 1 map, since it was simply created for this event gamemode. Once the event is over, it will be moved over to Workshop, so it won't stick around for too long :)

You can access this gamemode by going into Host Game > Campaign > Select a session > Zombie Heist. You can also run the map by writing "map hst_bank" in the console.

The premise is pretty simple, you pick your class and equipment and rob the bank. The escape vehicle will be available once you hit 1m (1 million) in total cash. The round will restart once everyone has escaped.

All right, now that's over with- let's go over what's new on this update!

Custom GameMode Support

Contagion now supports custom gamemode candidates, which means anybody can now create their own gamemode using Angelscript!

Even though this may be an April fools update, it not only contains the "haha, stupid gamemode joke", it does come with many changes and tweaks! And a little tease towards the Barlowe Remake campaign that's nearly complete. The goal is to have it ready by May or June (if I need a little more time)!

Anyho, here is the little changelog for today's update!
