Here is a few suggestions I think will make the game more fun & orderly for both humans & Zombies Name: ORBIT Stock: 2 Cost: 500 Points from the "utilities" tab from the Supply Crate Orbit is a stationary medic health rejuvantor that heals 4 humans at once automatically once placed. (redeployable) Name: Funky Bomb Stock: 2 Cost: 200 points from the "other" tab from the arsenal when thrown does constant damage for 10 seconds at a rate of 50 damage per second with a range of 200! after the 10 seconds are up the funky bomb explodes just as a regular grenade would with a damage of 150. (funky bombs also plays a little 10 second song) damage can be upgraded by using the card system. Name: Scraper Stock: 2 Cost: 50 points from the "other" tab fron the arsenal Can be used to scrap guns, tools & melee weapons in exchange for any ammunition, the more rare/expensive the object the more ammo you can get the owner of the scraper also gets a profit from when others use their scraper. Name: Zeus Stock: 2 Cost: Cost 400 from the tier 5 weapons tab A single firing tactical rifle that shoots electrically charged shock rounds(fusion cells), Zeus uses & needs 50 of fusion cells for a shot, after that one shot is fired that electrocutes & slows down zombies for 5 seconds while dealing 200 damage a blast, any 3 zombies within the proximity of the electrocuted zombie will also be stunned then you will have to reload. Name: Reptile Howler A Reptile varient of the Howler Boss unlocked at wave 5 The Howler is immune to the Zeus & when the Reptile Howler howls, all nearby zombies within the proximity of the howl will become immune to the zeus for a matter of 10 seconds If the Howler howls in front of the humans face & they are affected by the howl they will become blind for 4 seconds & be un able to hear aswell Reptile Howler howls at the same speed of the original Howler Name: Menace Unlocked by using 7500 Barricade points as a zombie using blood crate Every hit on a barricade darkens any enemies screen who is in the proximity of the barricade, similarly to Doom Crab's Burrow Name: Shield Rock Stock: 3 Cost: 150 points from the "utilities" tab in Supply Crate Shield Rock is a transparent deployable shield that once deployed acts as an extra layer of protection field bubble of energized particles that inflate into a stationary bubble that only humans (Holds 6 People) can walk inside & out & can fire outside while still inside to kill zombies, zombies can't walk inside the Shield Rock bubble but they can attack it & destroy it, shield rock is redeployable so you can move it around after obtaining it again, another con is that Electro puss can short the Shield Rock as if it was a force field emmiter (think of the Shield Rock as like the Shield Rock from the halo series & the force field that the Droideka drones used from star wars) Electro Puss Update *now shortens shield rocks Name: Stun Grenade Stock: 20 Cost: 25 points from the "other" tab from the arsenal crate When thrown stuns any nearby zombies in the radius slowing them down & nearly blinding them for 5 seconds while inflicting 50 damage on impact

HeLLsGamers New Years Raffle As this extremely crazy 2020 year is at its end I would like to reflect a bit. HeLLsGamers has had a pretty good year.

We got our very own server box for the first time since the community was founded, Many new projects in the works currently and overall HeLLsGamers is just an awesome community to spend time in. 2021 is going to be another big year for us and the sky is the limit! Happy New Year everyone and cheers to many more! We will be conducting a Raffle on January 3rd, 2021.

I would like to talk a little bit about HG’s finances, our history, and our future. Let me first say what I always say “that HG has never been about the money.” Some people like to joke about where the money is going...to Homer’s car rims or pizza, that is fine to rumer, but the reality is...it's reinvested to growing the community or it’s saved and not touched. You may wonder, what does that mean. Well, we have been around for 15 years. That is a long time. There are ups and downs for a community and I learned we need to account for that so that we can keep HG running for as long as possible. During the last 15 years, we have had our good years and bad years. Our best years were 2007-2010, during that time anything extra was reinvested into growing the community or it was saved and not touched. We had up to 70 game servers at one point! Then there is 2014-2018, our worst years of slow decline, due to multiple factors, for example: CS:Source player base dying out, which we were known for having the most populated servers. As well during this time my personal involvement was greatly reduced due to me having to focus on college (HG Sirius stepped up to run things). With slowly dying servers and struggling to break into crowded CSGO, as well trying other games...during 2014-2018 we would have died if it wasn't for the money saved from prior years and by the end of 2018 there was no more saved money to subsidize costs with and I was contributing leftover operating costs out of my pocket each month. During these years, I created the HG Future & Direction Board and we got to work on rebuilding the Leadership structure and we worked on getting a new version of our website done (the current one you are using). We then released the new website late 2018 and worked on rebuilding our VIP/GOLD subscribers and donations so that I could stop having to contribute out of pocket, this took all year and you may remember seeing me post Discord Announcements asking for any help we could get with donations each month. We struggled but we made it with everyone’s support. Each month since then with the new website and new Leadership structure, we have continued to grow with a bright future. Today, we now own our first piece of hardware ever, the Ryzen box, which you all made possible. This is huge for us and our growth going forward. It lowers our monthly operational costs the less we rent server machines and move to owning and colocating our machines. Going forward, my goal is to continue to work on growth and owning more of our hardware and renting less, as well to one day be able to put HG into perpetuity. This is an optimistic goal that may take awhile and includes me investing my own money so that interest earned on money saved/invested can one day take over paying HG’s monthly operational costs, but its an awesome goal to have because that means that HG can theoretically live forever..no matter what happens to the various fluctuations of income that HG currently relies on month-to-month to keep our lights on..HG can continue to operate for as long as there are active members of this community and willing individuals that step up and run for Director positions during our annual HG Elections Happy New Years & Cheers to a bright future for HG

Recently I've become quite uncomfortable with the number of my friends and fellow members of HG who have begun using homophobic slurs towards my character and in general. This has begun making not only me uncomfortable, but other members of the community uncomfortable. These members when bringing it up to leadership are simply dismayed and made fun of behind closed doors, for being a "snowflake" or deemed soft when they are simply expressing how they feel. This needs to stop. People in the LGBTQ+ community have fought too hard, to endure harassment in the place that I consider my second home, as I am sure many of you also do. I open up TeamSpeak almost every day to laugh with the people that I love and appreciate what they have done for this community, not to be called a fa**** and be put down. Although I know many people in the LGBTQ+ community have different takes on what they deem to be offensive to them, my rule is simply this. If we don't allow racist comments, any server that has Hells Gamers in the name for being offensive. Then don't allow 14 yr old's to scream homophobic slurs in their mic. It's sad hearing a grown man calling me a fa****, when I know he is truly depressed with himself, he has to put others down to watch a smile stretch across his face. Rule #1 states "Please be respectful to all members. Any issues should be brought up to a Division Staff or above." So why are we not doing that?! When I've personally brought it up to others, I am told to "stop talking to him then" and they continue to do it. This is unjust. I believe that we should begin to discourage others from using homophobic slurs or being transphobic in HellsGamers servers, for the better of being respectful to others, and not creating issues with one another. I want to remain a part of this community, I have many friends that I love talking to, and wish to maintain in my life. In doing so they respect me and have begun not saying these things around me. If I am being real here, I know no one cannot control what happens outside of Hg servers, but for once please create a safe place for everyone from all walks of life, to enjoy Hg for what it is, a community of people that laugh, watch blacklist together, and play games together. If that's not family then I don't know what is. This past year, I've had a lot of hardships with my family, I didn't live with them for over a month, and being with you guys really stopped me from doing some really fucked up things. If you read this far, please know I love you, appreciate you, and hear me out when I say, thank you. With love, Kelton TLDR; Stop saying fa****.

HeLLsGamers Thanksgiving Raffle I and HeLLsGamers would like to wish everyone and their families a wonderful/safe Thanksgiving holiday. Hopefully for many of you the pandemic has slowed down enough in your area to be able to spend the holiday with your family this year. After you are stuffed full of turkey and all the fixins feel free to hop in TS and or Discord to do some gaming! Another Thanksgiving holiday and another year that myself and the rest of UM are very much thankful for all of our leadership teams as well as our veterans, member's, and recruits. Happy Thanksgiving to all and cheers to many more! I will be conducting a Raffle on Friday November 26th at 10 PM MST. The winner of the raffle will receive a digital copy of Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite or Battlefield 2042 (The winner will be PM'd to claim their prize after the raffle) How To Be Entered Into The Raffle Be Recruit+ Like this post Post on this thread what your Thanksgiving plans are and what your most favorite Thanksgiving dish is What game will you be playing the most of during the Thanksgiving break (if you are currently in school)

Just in case anyone from our dev team missed the thank you party that our server had on 5/18 to celebrate the massive server update which included the new reforger & rebirther. On behalf of the HGZS community, we thank all or you for the hard work that y’all put in everyday to make sure that the server is nothing less than fresh, balanced, fun & enjoyable With that being said, the only reason that I’m making this post is because I’ve seen numerous amounts of people complain, rage quit out of the game and even message me saying “This isn’t fun anymore” because they believe that the human team is now over powered. There is only a small fraction of our community that truly believes that the human team is now over powered so the topic didn’t catch my attention yet until some skilled Z-mainers started to agree with this. I listen to everyone in our community, from the veterans all the way to the new players, but I’ve recently had some fellow HG members, veterans and a retired DL that has agreed with this debate and they have spoken to me about it and they have assured me that they believe that the Z-Team is indeed useless until waves 5 and 6. The solution to this problem is to make waves 2, 3, & 4 a little more tough by making the regular zombie types stronger. We have to be careful not to make them too strong because we don’t want things to be too intense on those early waves tho. Keep in mind that our dev team is constantly working to balance things out. So at first glance some of these suggestions may appear “overpowered” to you but that doesn’t mean that they still can’t be implemented onto the server and balanced out so that we can enjoy it. Before we get into it tho, I just want everyone to know that I’m neutral on this topic. I have fun playing both Z-Team & H-Team but this isn’t about me. Our goal is to make the game fun & enjoyable for everyone, so these are the suggestions that I have come up with to help improve and balance our gaming experience as a whole. Name: The Ping System The Ping System is a form of in game callouts that highlights the item that has been pinged for better coordination since there has been increased complaints about a lack of team coordination. This is great for those who prefer to play with volume off, speak a different language, dont read chat or if the chat is moving to fast etc. Ping-able items include, boss & special zombies, dropped weapons & ammo, all inventory items, stray humans, zombie spawns & crates, loose props etc. Name: ‘Crossfire’ Glock 3 Blueprint: John Thicc Equips the gun with an auto switch that is fitted onto the back of the glock which then transforms it into a full auto mini-machine gun. Also equips the gun with a kratos barrel that makes landing headshots with it extremely critical for zombie Bloated Rebirther Name: Thrasher A Big intimidating zombie that shakes the screen nearby humans everytime it makes a charge or does it’s primary attack. Primary Attack is a claw Secondary Attack is a running charge which causes it to charge into anything that is in its path, dealing massive damage on impact. Charge attack doesn’t stop until it comes into contact with a resilient object or human. If a charge attack connects with a human, that human will be thrown for a certain distance then fall to the ground shortly after. Name: Kongol Axe Blueprint: Mongol Empire Fire rate increased by so much that you would think the attack was led by Ghengis Khan. Not to mention the newly added fire mod that enemies will sustain to remind them of the time of the Mongol Empire Name: ‘Bullet Storm’ SMG Blueprint: Fire Storm Stolen from the Lair of Lucifer, this SMG has an Increased fire rate and now shoots fire balls that incinerate their victim Name: Silk Road A Trading table that can be found near supply crates Survivors can place the item that they want to trade onto the trading table then they can choose from a list of acceptable trades that they would like to request from other survivors. The item will stay on the table until the original owner either picks it back up or until somebody else comes along to accept the trade request. After a successful trade the items or currency will automatically appear in the inventory of both players. If a player places an item on the trading table and dies before they make a successful trade, that item will be lost and the trade will be canceled. Multiple humans can make trades at the same time. Once a trade is posted all humans will receive a notice of the items posted and requested. Players can also goto the trading table to view all active trades at any time. All tradeable items include All Arsenal Crate Items for other Arsenal Crate Items, Fundamentals, Blueprints, Reforger Upgrades and Points Cards for Cards, Blueprints, Fundamentals and Points Reforger Upgrades for Arsenal Crate Items, Fundamentals, Blueprints and Points Blueprints, Fundamentals & Points can’t be offered they must only be requested Can be destroyed by zombies Name: ‘Bullseye’ Handgun Blueprint: Agent 57 This upgrade gives it the Dual Wield attachment. Now fires grenades instead of regular bullets at the cost of the individual magazine size decreased and a decreased firecap. Trait Name: Usain 4x increased movement speed Name: Protchet Blueprint: Yeti Already a monstrous piece of weaponry to behold, this weapon decided to take a trip to Antarctica to get itself enchanted and to train with the infamous Abdominal Snowman for the very task of fighting of a zombie apocalypse. Now able to unleash a blow that is so vicious that all zombies nearby the initial zombie who got disintegrated will catch chills. Increased range and impaling frostbites is just the beginning of what the Yeti can do. After each kill, the Yeti will become faster and faster until its enemies believe that they are walking right into The Great Blizzard of 1888 only to realize that they just walked into an Avalanche of death. Fast Zombie Rebirther Name: Creeper Able to climb on walls with its sharp claws & rest on them stationary. Primary attack does minuscule damage, but its secondary attack allows it to lunge at humans and if contact is made then that human will stumble to the ground for a brief moment. Item Name: Artifice Artifice is a holographic decoy Spawns a hologram decoy of your player model that runs in a straight line momentarily upon deployment until it disappears. Decoy can phase through props Name: ‘Eraser’ Tactical Pistol Path A: White Out Unlocks a forbidden Nato cartridge that does significant damage to zombies, ripping off their limps and performing great knockback on impact Path B: Vinyl Increases magazine capacity, adds Incendiary tips to all rounds in the magazine and increases the firerate to near uncontrollable speeds Blueprint: Graphite You’ve managed to enchant your pistol rounds into blaster bolts, with increased range this weapon now fires bursts of particle beam energy Name: Flesh Bomb Path B: No Witnesses Provides 9 unique flash bang actions within a single hand safe assembly. The device provides arrhythmic outputs of approximately 0.8 seconds apart. Blueprints: Last Hope A force push that humans can use to push all nearby zombies a short distance away, while weaker zombies will stumble to the ground on impact Special Boss Name: Bandit Bandit is a Zombie that teleports and has the ability to steal weapons and items from humans and The Silk Road. When grabbed by the Bandit, whatever weapon or item that human has in his hand will be snatched from them and they will lose that weapon forever. If the thief is killed before the wave ends, all humans will receive their weapons back and they will also receive a temporary arsenal discount. If the Bandit is killed before they have the chance to take any weapons or items then humans will receive resupplier and arsenal discount. All items can be taken from the trading table. If the Bandit takes a players card from the trading table then that card will now appear in the Bandit’s inventory and the human will lose it forever. Cards are the only items that are kept by the bandit Name: ‘Alyx’ Pistol Blueprints: Nano When a skeleton zombie is shot with this path, an electric chain reaction occurs that zaps all nearby skeleton zombies while dealing slight damage to each of them. Item Name: Spotlight Path B: Floodlight An upgraded LED light that is so intense, if a zombie looks at it for too long then they will gradually become blinded by it until they are out of sight. Blueprint: Paparazzi Near blinding light that has a strobe ability which mimics “No Witnesses” every full minute, briefly blinding all zombies that look at it Howler & Sufferer update After BattleCry (Secondary Attack), all humans in the proximity of the scream will be highlighted for all zombies Name: ‘Tosser’ smg Blueprint: NASA Increased fire rate and does knock back damage. While aiming down sights this weapon will emit a small forcefield like shield that can sustain a few hits from zombies before degrading completely, has a cool down Name: O K Blueprint: Leonidas While holding, player will experience Increased health, speed and attack range. Shields will also regen faster. Ghoul Varient Name: Hazmat Ghoul After death this zombie releases poison into the air that lingers around their corpse for a brief moment. Humans within the proximity of the poison gas will experience adverse reactions or worse, death if in critical condition. No gas will release if this zombie is killed with a melee weapon Name: ‘Akbar’ Assault Rifle Blueprints: Mother Russia Nobody thought ice bullets were possible, but after retrieving this ancient “frozen” weapon from Oymyakon, Russia (which is widely regarded as the coldest inhabited town on Earth) everything changed. After heating this weapon up in a crematorium in hopes of melting away the layer of ice, to no avail. Weapon testers insisted on testing the weapon anyways only to find out that it still works fine and their targets became frosted after their bullets had impacted them. After scientist dismantled this weapon to figure out the mystery behind it still being able to fire and freeze targets, it turns out that the bullets are made from carbon fiber, dry ice and coated with Polyethylene which reserves the freezing temperature of the bullets. Name: Arsenal Crate Path A: Pandora Arsenal Discount for all survivors and increased Crate HP. Bullsquid Variant Name: Electrophorus A relative of the Bullsquid, Electric eel and the Stingray this zombie electrifies metal props when an attack is landed leaving upon it. The prop will be electrified for a brief moment which harms any humans that come into contact with it or near it. Temporarily disables turrets & other electrical powered deployable. Secondary attack allows it to shoot out an electric bolt that has the same affect as the primary attack but this attack has a brief charge up and has a short cool down Name: ‘Zombie Drill’ Desert Eagle Blueprints: MOAG Not to be confused with the MOAB, although this gun does shoot out massive explosive rounds that annihilates it’s victims. The difference between the two is that the MOAG isn’t just a one and done explosion. The MOAG shows no mercy to it’s opponents by delivering a full blown bombardment. Constantly pounding the enemy reinforcements with death, MOAG has enough firepower to grant any unlucky survivors with everlasting PTSD Electro puss update Blinds all nearby enemies for a brief moment upon death Name: ‘Stalker’ Assault Rifle Blueprint: Little Friend The long lost gun of Tony Montana. This gun had been tarted up with a grenade launcher and has been upgraded with increased range, fire rate, fire power and a modern scope Name: ‘Dynamo’ Arc Zapper Path B: Electron Due to faulty circuit from an electrical engineer and with no electrician present to fix it, this has caused the Zapper to go haywire and continuously burst with sparks zapping all zombies and crows who come near it instantly. Blueprints: Quantum Entanglement Increased damage. When activated, creates a chain reaction of electrification. Starts by electrocuting the nearest enemy then traveling from their corpse to the nearest enemy in range, then travels to the next one and so on. If no zombie was near to catch the energy of the previous zombie who was electrocuted, their fallen corpse will stay energized until the next zombie comes into contact with them or until their body fades away... Devour Rebirther Name: Fervor Equipped with a Flamethrower that is attached to the arm and a stockpile of stun sticks that can stun multiple enemies within the radius, it’s obvious that this boss zombie has had enough of stray survivors running around. Name: ‘Schmeisser’ MP40 Blueprint: Wehrmacht Decoded and retrieved from the lost files of a lead german scientist and weapons engineer, this iteration appears to be a heavily modified and futuristic version of the Iconic MP40. With heavily increased fire rate and a modded magazine that can now harvest electrons for delivering an electrical blow to it’s victim. There’s no wonder the german scientist tried so hard to hide this master piece of german ingenuity from the public. Flesh Beast Variant Name: Arachnoid A mutated Spider that can create a thick web that can strategically blocks passages so that humans will be forced to destroy the nest to get through the passage. Upon death spider will release hostile baby spiders that will attack nearby humans until they fly away or die off Trait Name: Dosser Faster healing capabilities for medic zombies Name: Great Scythe Blueprint: Moses Increased knockback and Range Every 10th swing will fire a blast of incredibly strong compressed air in a straight line. Able to kill zombies in a single blow, sending them flying backwards or up. If not killed by the blast then they will be thrown backwards. Name: ‘Emergency’ Flare Gun Blueprint: Torch Upgrades to a Flamethrower Once hit, enemies will slowly burn and or die regardless of how many times the Torch hits. They will die much faster when its fire stream continuously hits them. A huge weakness of the Torch is its range. The fire stream can extend several meters, but it takes time to reach full length. Zombies in close proximity can be hit almost immediately, but it may take a second or two to hit enemies further away. If the player can predict where an enemy is approaching, it may be beneficial to start firing early so that the stream is at full length when engaged. Skeletal Walker Rebirther Name: Punisher Proficient in hand to hand combat, with mastery in mma, kung fu, Jujitsu, Muay Thai, Eskrima, Bacom, and Krav Maga. This zombie has developed a near impenetrable defense by mastering the art of reflex which allows it to evade most human melee attacks and even deflect bullets if used correctly, possess the ability to take on multiple humans in close quarter combat all at once Name: ‘Evo’ Submachine Gun Blueprint: Malevolent Upgraded for increased fire rate a 50 round drum, this gun now shoots Laser Particles so fast that it appears to shred everything in it’s path. Burster Variant Name: Padme A Pregnant zombie Upon death Padme will give birth to a infant zombie which you will then immediately assume control over as a way to avenge the fallen mother Name: ‘Stormforce’ Sniper Rifle Blueprint: The Red Death Faster reload speed along with all of the rounds being replaced with explosives and a Infrared Heat Scope that’s mounted on top of the rifle Wraith Rebirther Name: Romero A very slow zombie, the more this zombie takes damage, the more stronger & faster it moves & attacks Name: ‘Rejuvenator’ Healing Ray Path B: Practitioner Heals 2 survivors at once, Faster cool down rate Blueprint: Orbit Allows you to heal 4 survivors simultaneously. Upgraded Ventilation for overheating and better cooling fans for faster cool downs Secondary Attack allows you heal all survivors in the radius to full HP, remove all buffs, and give everyone in the radius a boost. Name: Blast Turret Blueprint: Artillery Adds an extra shotgun to the turret stand. Increases range, becomes Indestructible, increases ammo cap and now fires cannons Name: Resupply Blueprints: Logistics Faster Regen for all survivors & stores more excess ammo Name: World Breaker Blueprint: Earth Quake Everytime this is swung, all nearby enemies will experience an Earth Quake like effect, causing their screen to shake while you reign down meteoric strikes upon those who happen to be unlucky enough to be in your path. Name: SLAM Tripmine Path A: Glacial This path transforms it into an ice trap. Once placed the trap emits a blue laser to let everyone know that it is active. Once a zombie trips that blue laser the trap will explode & slow all zombies within the blast radius for a brief period. Path B: Quasar This path transforms it into a fire trap Once placed, the trap emits a red laser to let everyone know that it is active. Once a zombie trips that red laser the trap will explode & ignite all nearby zombies within the blast radius. Name: Nanite Cloud Bomb Blueprints: Ultimatum Instantly regain full HP to all props and deployables in the radius and does damage to the attacker if they attack any props or deployables while this is active The reason I didn’t do all Reforger and Rebirther upgrades is because our dev team is constantly coming up with new upgrades that we won’t know a out until the official update. So as always, thank you all for being apart of our community and a special thanks to all of our Gold and VIP supporters because none of this would be possible without y’all.

Hey everyone I'm very happy to finally be able to announce CSGO's newest server: Minigames Launch The server goes live tonight at 8pm EST! 185.141.204.7:27015 Reach out to people and spread the word, we look forward to seeing you all there! Events In the near future we plan on hosting a month long event similar to my March Madness event in 2017 as well as doing our best to promote the server in various ways in the months to follow. Along with this I plan on rewarding the top HG player on gameme with a steam gift card every month (I'll create a post outlining this in more detail in the near future). Maps Something that was a struggle with our previous iteration of CSGO Minigame's was it's map list. We want the map list this time around to feel dynamic by rotating out underplayed maps and bringing in new ones the community brings to us. To make this a possibility please leave map suggestion in the respective channels in the main CSGO Discord so we can test them and then possibly introduce them into the server. Moderators Moderator applications for the server are also open. If you want to help keep the server populated and clean feel free to apply! A Special Thanks Please go to these lovely people's profiles and thank them for all the work they've put into the server. Sit Uchihella Icon Fortis Faze NinjaScopes

My baby boy was born a couple days ago, July 2nd at 3:30am. Super stoked!

Before we get into it, I just want to say that I appreciate all of the support & feedback given on my previous suggestion post. I also appreciate the hard work & advice from the members & leads for implementing most of those suggestions into the server. Those suggestions were made shortly before we got our CPU server cores upgraded to an overclocked i7-7700K! Now I have no doubt that our talented dev team will be able to unleash more of their creative imaginations for the benefit of the server. Those implementations clearly have helped out our server tremendously from improving the UX all the way to acquiring new subscription based assets. Some of those ideas were more on the complicated side from a design & programming stand point because of the code in ZS, so thats why Im making this 2020 post as an updated version to my 2019 suggestions. I’m just going to be providing new concepts, revamps & also capitalizing on the unreleased favorites while making them more pragmatic to execute in Garry’s Mod, so lets get into it. Here are a few suggestions that I think will make the game more fun & orderly for both humans & zombies Name: Glacial Stock: 10 Cost: 40 Glacial is an ice trap that can be used on multiple types of surfaces & can be found in the “other” tab in the arsenal crate. Once placed, the trap emits a blue laser to let everyone know that it is active. Once a zombie trips that blue laser the trap will explode & slow all zombies within the blast radius for a brief period. This trap does no damage & it is redeploy-able with a one time use. Name: Orbit Stock: 2 Cost: 500 Points from the "utilities" tab from the Supply Crate Orbit is a stationary medic health rejuvantor that simultaneously heals 4 survivors automatically once placed, as long as they are in range. It heals for 5 HP per second and after the survivor is fully healed it will automatically lock onto the next survivor that needs to be healed if they are in range, it also requires med power to operate (redeployable) Name: Meteoric Immolator Primary: Claws Secondary /Reload: Temper Unlocked on wave 5 An explosive variant of the Immolator, The Meteoric Immolator explodes on death dealing damage to any humans or barricades within the blast radius. The Meteoric Immolator has an unexploded bomb stuck in its stomach which can be activated by using its Secondary Attack “Temper”, which causes it to throw a temper tantrum which then raises its body temperature so high that it actives the bomb like a self destruct feature. Name: Graviton Stock: 6 Cost: 20 Can be acquired in the “other” tab from the arsenal crate. The Graviton is a throwable that launches both players & zombies a great distance without inflicting fall damage. Can be acquired in the “other” tab from the arsenal crate. Name: Slumper Stock: 5 Cost: 275 Maximum ammunition: 4+40 Fire mode: Automatic Unlocked on tier 4 Slumper fires an unknown purple liquid substance which creates a bubbly puddle on the floor that both players and zombies can slip on. Zombies can explode if they come in direct contact with the liquid when the weapon is fired. If the liquid does not hit a zombie it will simply cause them to slip and fall down, causing no damage. The Slumper’s shots cause splash damage, which can cause damage to the player and will stun them. However, the actual damage is very low, and will rarely be fatal except to the most heavily damaged of players. Name: Quasar Stock: 10 Cost: 20 Quasar is a fire trap that can be used on multiple types of surfaces and can be acquired from the “other” tab in the arsenal crate Once placed, the trap emits a red laser to let everyone know that it is active. Once a zombie trips that red laser the trap will explode & ignite all nearby zombies within the blast radius & it is redeploy-able with a one time use. Name: Resuscitator Stock: 2 Cost: 100 points from the “utilities” tab from the Supply Crate The Resuscitator is a single use throwable that can be thrown at the body of a dead ally to redeem them back to life. Name: Pandemic Unlocked from the “Special” tab from the blood crate for 600 barricade points Pandemic allows for the user to infect a survivor with a disease by hitting them. The disease then poisons the victim and any survivors who come into contact with that victim for 5 seconds while inflecting damage of 2 HP per second. Name: Blizzard Stock: 5 Cost: 170 Maximum ammunition: 5+50 Fire Mode: semi-automatic It fires a blizzard of ice that affects Zombies and can be unlocked by tier 3 After a zombie comes into direct contact with the ice after the weapons is fired, they will be instantly slowed down for a brief period. The shot also causes some damage to the zombie. Name: Carbotanium Barricade kit Stock: 2 Cost: 500 The Carbotanium Barricade Kit is a stronger variant of the Night Steel Barricade kit and can be bought from the Supply Crates as-well. It is a combination of beta titanium alloy with advanced carbon composites, having a matched yield strength and moduli of elasticity ratio. This is because carbon fiber has the highest strength to density ratio of any current fiber and titanium has the highest strength to density ratio of any current metal. Name: Asbestos Unlocked from the “Defensive” tab from the blood crate for 4000 barricade points Asbestos acts as a flak jacket & grants the user a flame-retardant coating that makes them hard to ignite and gives them added resilience to fire based weaponry. Name: Winter Wolf Cost: 30 Acquired from the “traits” tab in the worth menu at the start of the game When purchased, will allow the player to generate a frost explosion that slows enemies within the proximity of the explosion when damaged by an enemy's melee attack. Short cool down after every use. Name: Smoke Grenade Stock: 6 Cost: 40 Can be acquired from the “other” tab from the arsenal Smoke Grenade is a technical throwable that can help survivors master the art of retreat and or escape by obscuring and concealing movement. Name: Torch Stock: 4 Cost: 350 Maximum ammunition: 100+400 Fire mode: Automatic (continuous) 300RPM The Torch is a flamethrower that can be acquired from the arsenal crate at tier 5 It can be used as a useful close-quarter combat weapon. Once hit, enemies will slowly burn and or die, regardless of how many times the Torch hits, though they will go down much faster when its fire stream continuously hits them. A huge weakness of the Torch is its range. The fire stream can extend several meters, but it takes time to reach full length. Zombies in close proximity can be hit almost immediately, but it may take a second or two to hit enemies further away. If the player can predict where an enemy is approaching, it may be beneficial to start firing early so that the stream is at full length when engaged. Now I just want to give another applause to our wonderful HG team and our GOLD & VIP supporters because without y’all this wouldn’t have happened, that is all, thank you.

Happy New Year to everyone! I would like to share that I will be handing over ownership of HG to @EddieCam going forward to take us to the next level. Like many of you, EddieCam really cares about HG, he has a lot of plans to grow and strengthen the community. I look forward to seeing what HG will become with a new ambitious leader. EddieCam joined 6 years ago and also happens to be our top all-time donator, helping extensively for years with events and prizes to boost our community. I created HG almost 17 years ago and my interests have moved on to other things. Rather than keeping HG on its current path, it's time to make a change–a big one. You will still see me around once in a while on Discord and playing games with other members. Thank you to everyone and all that you do for HG HG | Homer HeLLsGamers est. 2005 Founder

Well, I put us on the big screen! I recently had a custom build put together and decided to make it an HG thing! This kind of stuff will help us get exposure, help with relevancy and make some good connections in the gaming industry. I hope you guys like the video! The details of my build can be seen in the description in the you tube video. I would love to hear feedback from our community on my build and the video. Enjoy!

I am always hungry, I can tell you who is hungry too! Let's all give congrats to my new associate director of gaming divisions for his promotion! I am looking forward to taking on some help and working with him to achieve some great things for HG. HG |Spawn [D]

Alright to start I want to explain the context of the clip that Detective has uploaded as proof against me. Xeno was doing a temptation day for the coin that spawned on the catwalk and was giving orders to get closer and closer to the coin. I thought it would be funny if I made some statement and casually ran out of the stack and got blasted by the CT’s only to do it again a few seconds later after respawning myself. When I initially ran out after telling Xeno “I would slob on your knob if you tell the guards not to kill me” I died a few seconds later with a few laughs at how silly it was to see me run out into the open and die. After respawning myself and going “no for real this time don’t kill me” and ran out I got blasted by half the CT team with joined laughter by everyone. I’ve seen these types of events happen by numerous Staff+ members in the community and overall I think if it’s not a reoccurring event it’s funny to see it happen (prime example is Ascii charging to armory over and over getting killed by the CT team only to get respawned again). Moving on from what happened I want to also talk about how with the implementation of JB and it’s resurrection some notable differences have been made to how we handle the use of commands like /slap, /firebomb, etc. We want the server to be fun. If you recall from your clip do you see or hear anyone complaining about me “abusing?” I’ll answer for you. No. Everyone that was talking and from what I could see in deadchat and in live chat was having fun with what I was doing in that clip you submitted. People were having fun. Second to last thing I’ll touch on is if you watch the clip I didn’t gain or do anything after respawning myself. I didn’t collect rep. I didn’t grab the coin (I actually stopped my momentum the second time because I got close and if I would have gotten the coin this would actually be abuse). I also didn’t kill any ct’s after I lived the rest of the round. I also didn’t get LR. Lastly, for anyone reading this or checking this abuse report. If you ever have a problem with how I’m conducting myself or see something done by another staff member please come to me directly or go to Peacemaker. This whole thread for me is reminiscent of 2017 Hellsgamers where everyone was going after everyone and it only leads to drama and abuse reports like this and it isn’t a place I want Hellsgamers to be ever again. This could have 100% been handled in private and prevented drama. As for why you posted this Detective I could get into, but this isn’t the place for that. Thanks, Jericho

I am happy to annouce that we have purchased a new dedicated server for ZS to have the highest performance. ZS will be running on the most powerful system available located in Dallas with our same datacenter. The IP Address will not change. The new server is an Overclocked i7-7700K !! The server will be going offline soon while we complete this upgrade. Thank you @Kigen for setting up the new dedicated server and thank you to all our GOLD & VIP supporters that made this happen!

https://www.gofundme.com/f/new-pc-for-college-and-gaming Let me just start by saying HG broke my eyeballs because they are swollen and crusted from crying tears of joy. HG has one of the biggest impacts on my life. I hold so many great memories within this community. This community is not just about gaming its about family. When you guys saw a fellow gamer in need you guys acted upon it to the best of your ability. Giving me advice, wishing me luck, donating, and more. I just cannot believe how the past 2 days have been. I never have had this happen to me before in any sort of way. I know times are rough right now around the world due to the pandemic and other things, but you guys all helped me out. Some of you guys told me about how you were in my place at one point in your life and wished someone would have done same for you. I will make sure to do the same for others when I am given the chance. Thank all of you for helping me. I love you all. Special Thank You to : Silly , EddieCam, Bepp, Mr.Rustles, Destiny, MoreEcchi, Fortis, Darkkran, Scrungus, Snowyamur , Gaz , Icon , Burnt, JurrasicGem, Bananainc, Pepsi and McLovinfan 420 and Adam R.

I came down with Hodgins Non Lymphoma in Sept. 2019 and went through Chemo and Radiation treatments for 6 months and I lost 45 pounds. I had a Pet/CT scan 3 weeks ago and I am now Cancer free, but still have 3rd stage Kidney disease, Diabetes and going blind in my left eye, that's why I use a scoped gun. Other than that I feel great to being alive!

In light of recent events, I have decided to step back in an active role of Division Leader for the GMOD division. I'd like to welcome (back) McLovin as Division Staff and Train as Moderator back to the team. I recommend you check out the GMOD Management page and familiarize yourself with the new team as there have been several changes recently. I want to remind everyone that we actively seek feedback to improve our servers and that as a team of volunteers, we try our best to follow-up and respond to and/or implement your feedback into the game you enjoy on a daily basis. One of my goals is to ensure communication from players to staff to upper management is not fragmented and that we are transparent on both ends. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me.

Just kidding, that would be weird. INSTEAD WE HAVE NEW MODS! CONGRATS TO: GLOBAL MODS [HG] ComputerChip [GM] HG | 7Z.

Come find out who's your new Upper Leadership! Before I say anything, I just want to personally thank you for participating in this election if you have! Also, I want to thank the participants for expressing your interest in HellsGamers Upper Leadership. Without you guys, we couldn't have made this possible at all. During this process, the Elections Committee has reviewed each participant to see who's the best fit for all of these positions. Along that, we've also reviewed the votes. Some were really close, and some were not-so-close. A couple years back, we decided that Staff+ and Member+ were both pooled in to determine the winner for each position. For this year, we've made it so that Staff+ was heavily weighted toward a certain candidate and the Members+ vote helped break close spots to see who fits the best spot for the position PLUS a better general vision to see who is the absolute best fit for that position. Without further ado, here are your new Executive Council and Council Board of Directors: Executive Council Executive Director of Internal Affairs: Silly Mentor: Kigen Executive Director of External Affairs: ValueSensi Mentor: Alienware Council's Board of Directors Director of Gaming Divisions: EddieCam Mentor: Silly Director of Community Engagement (HGCE): DirtyDNA Mentor: Admiral Mack Director of Development (HGDC): Icon Mentor: Misc2008 Congratulations to our new board members! It is highly encouraged to spam their wonderful profiles with juicy, top quality memes (also not forgetting to congratulate them!). Also, you may have noticed each position has a mentor. The goal of the mentor is to make sure that there is a smooth transition between the old and new candidates. The winners of each position will take their full seat within a year while in the meantime, they are being trained by these Mentors. Once they have fully taken their spot as Director of X, then the mentors will be promoted to Senior Director (based on an evaluation if they succeed in their mentoring). Lead Directors are the current second year term elects. As HG further progresses into the future, I'm looking forward for these candidates to express their ideas to benefit HG in every single way possible. I look forward to their hard work for these Board members. It was a pleasure leading this year's Elections, and I hope you will continue to support us throughout the years to come. Love you all, stay beautiful. Colinthe5 Señor Executive Secretary, Lead Election Commissioner
