Legacy of The Damned (Map Concept)

[Black Hand Smith]

Note. The following map idea was conceived before the supposed leaked picture of the tranzit characters on the pirate ship was released to the public. 

 

Zombies - Legacy of the Damned

 

Welcome to an island full of mysterious jungles, villages  and an old mansion.Unravel the secret of the island as you take control of 4 exclusive characters and learn their stories. Face new enemies, use new weapons and free yourself from the chains that bind us.

 

Note- Cutscene is not cgi or comic book form. Instead you see a man reading an old book. You can only see his hands and the open book. He has an old rough voice.

 

 

Cutscene- Long ago pirates were the king of the seas. Some of them wanted riches ( shows a painting of a man leaving his tribe) some wanted revenge ( shows a young woman being taken away from a mansion in the dead of night) others wanted redemption ( shows a painting of a man leaving his wife at the shore ) and others search their lives for love ( Shows a woman drifting off to sea as a man reaches out to her ). These are the legends passed down through literature. This is their legacy….a legacy of the damned.

 

Map description

 

You wake up as your vision slowly comes back to you. When your vision is clear you will see that you are on top of a crashed ship. You hear something in the distance and when you look at the sides of the ship you will find green eyed zombies climbing up the ship and onto the deck.

 

 

You must defend yourself using your flintlock pistol and a broken bottle which you can use as a knife. There is no door to the starting room, instead there is a rope which you can zipline your way to the sandy shores. Once you use the zipline you will no longer be able to go back to the starting room.

 

The island shore has lot’s of debris scattered around preventing you from leaving the area. The beach has a Box location right next to where the rope connects to the ground. You can also buy a new starting room weapon instead of the 2 usual starting room weapons. A French Musket and a double barrel pistol. The French musket can be found on the side of a large crate near the entrance to the jungle. The Double barrel pistol  can be found drifting in and away from the shore on another crate and can only be bought when it’s closest to the shore. The zombies will spawn by crawling out of the sand and other zombies will walk out of the ocean and enter the playing field. Quick revive can be found completely buried in the sand and must be dug up using a shovel.

 

You can enter the jungle by clearing out the debris in the sand. Once you enter the jungle you will hear the sound of monkeys and tropical birds. The jungle surrounds a mansion which is at the center of this maze of trees. In this jungle you might find yourself stuck inside a pit of quicksand which will slow down your movements if you happen to pass over them. You will also find a buried perk in the sand. You will notice juggernog near the entrance to the mansion submerged in sand. You must use your shovel to dig it up. You will find speed cola suspended in the air by vines. Shoot the vines and the perk machine will drop to the ground. The jungle takes up most of the map and acts as a path to get from one location to another. You can get to key locations such as the mansion, the village and the waterfall through the jungle. Some parts of the jungle are open spaces with fallen trees scattered around. These openings are a good place to train while other parts are narrow and require you to move in pairs facing both directions. Beware of traps set by the natives though. When first going through the map there will be ropes on the ground which set off  trap. A giant log will swipe down and instantly kill you if you are standing up. In order to avoid the trap you must be prone. Once the trap is set off for the first time you can pay 1000 points to set the trap again. It might take a few moments for the trap to become active but that will give you just enough time to gather a group of zombies and lure them into the area for full effect.

 

 

The village can be found to the west and has many homes. All of which are empty. In this village the witch doctor will spawn. The witch doctor spawns inside the tent of the elders which is a hut filled with animal skulls and skins. You will find undead pet monkeys which are inside cages. These monkeys are not enemies and can not hurt you but they can be killed the same way the monkeys could be killed in shangri la. The Witch doctor will be sitting on the floor and staring at the players as they pass. If a player gets too close to it or shoot at it the witch doctor will run away and enter the jungle. In the village you will find Double tap inside one of the tents. The most iconic part of this are is the pack a punch. You will find a giant skull statue with 4 gem slots. Find the 4 gem slots by digging and insert them into the pack a punch. This will activate it for 30 seconds. Put your weapon in the statue’s mouth and it will swallow it momentarily. The statue’s eyes will begin to glow and when the mouth opens your weapon will be ready.

 

The mansion is located at the very center of the jungle and only one path leads to the entrance. All other paths either lead up to the village, the shore or to a dead end. Once you enter the mansion you will notice that it is burned down and many of it’s once magnificent rooms are now merely rubble and ashes. The mansion has 2 floors and the second floor has loose floors which might break if you don’t watch your step. You will notice that the siren has spawned. The siren will follow players around and use psychic powers to throw objects at you. Inside the mansion you will be able to access electric cherry by activating a sequence of patterns on a bookshelf. Doing it right will cause the bookshelf to rotate and reveal electric cherry. You will now need to descend.

 

 

 

After searching the mansion you should have found a crowbar. Use the crowbar to loosen some floor boards on the first floor of the mansion. You will then be granted access to a hidden cave underneath the mansion. The cave is circular in shape and a great place to train for a bit. At the very center of the cave you will find a tomb with a skeleton inside. You will also find a new perk known as Back Stabber Brandy. This cave is very important to one of the characters and you will understand more as the story is completed.

 

Zombie Appearances

 

 

Zombie Pirates- Undead pirates that also washed up on the island and died long before you arrived. Some of them wear captain’s hats and others wear crew outfits with red and white stripes.

 

Zombie tribes men- zombies in tribal outfits

 

Zombie sailors - Sailor zombies from the navy

 

Seaweed zombies - Zombies that are extremely moist and covered in starfish,seaweed and other ocean contents.

 

Zombie Butlers - Zombies that dwell the mansion

 

Zombie wenches - Female zombies dressed in barmaid outfits.

 

New perks

Spoiled Perk- A perk bottle that can be dug up from the ground from time to time. It acts as a free perk however it will give you such a belly ache that it will cause the user’s movement to decrease in running distance. After your 3rd spoiled perk you will lose the ability to run at all.

 

Back Stabber Brandy  - A Brand new perk which allows you to get one hit knife kills if you stab a zombie in the back. It costs 2000 to buy. A good way to use the effects of this perk is to have one person train the undead then have the person with the perk sneak up behind and snag a few kills.

 

Environmental Hazards and points of interest

 

Wet sand: These are very tough to walk through patches of wet sand which you will sink into, zombies also walk slow through it unless you either have Salty Soda? (plz help with name to do with salty) and the Iron Boots. salty salty….hmm...

 

Treasure: Using a shovel you can find basic hidden objects. Perhaps bonus points or a hidden power up and sometimes a gold coins which you will need for the easter egg.

 

Boss zombies

 

Witch Doctor- Ability to switch souls of players/ Revive downed players and use them like puppets. Spawns inside the elders tent in the village. Will not move until provoked. The witch doctor is able to revive downed players and take control of them causing you to shoot your team mates and knife them. Shooting down the possessed teammate is the only way to free him. The witch doctor also has the ability to swap souls. A player who is currently playing as Zubambi is next to a player playing as Clancey. If the witch doctor gets close to them he will change the character you play as. This means that all the equipment you had on you is swapped for the equipment the other player has. This includes perks, grenades weapons and not to mention character model.

 

 

The Siren - A female apparition. She is beautiful as she is deadly. She appears inside the mansion and in the cave. She uses psychic powers to throw objects at you and pull you towards her. She can not be killed by any convenient means.

 

 

 

Wunder Weapons:

 

Death’s touch- A pistol that works like the raygun however instead of shooting rays it shoots flaming skulls. It instantly kills any targets it touches until round 20. It has infinite ammunition however it has one major drawback. Everytime you shoot, it will drain your health. After 4 consecutive shots you will be in the red zone and have to wait for your health to come back in order to fire it again without killing yourself. Having juggernog will increase the amount of shots before you go red to 8. Pack a punching the Death’s touch will allow the pistol to absorb zombie souls as you kill them instead of absorbing your own life force. Once enough life energy is absorbed it can be released as a blast that wipes out all zombies in front of you. The death’s touch is called the Death’s Gate after upgrading.

 

Characters:

 

James- A crew member who was originally going to become a sailor for the marines. His wife believes he is a good marine however in truth he is a Pirate. Now James just wants to return home and live a peaceful life. His decision was made but fate had other plans. Now he is stranded on an island filled with the undead. James wears a white shirt and a blue bandana. He also wears black gloves/

 

Zubambi- A strong african man who left his village to find wealth but went pirate instead. He has a deep voice and is completely bald. Back in the village he was the strongest warrior according to the village elder. now he is going to use that strength to escape the island. Zubambi wears no shirt and has a sword strapped to his side. He wears light pants and has tribal paintings on his back.

 

Salazar - A man who was going to get married to his fiance. However before they could get married his fiance was lost at sea. He kept their engagement gift and it is sacred to him. Soon afterwards he became a pirate in search of his fiance. He wears a vest and has a ponytail. His pants are brownish and he has keys dangling at his side. Salazar wears glasses.

 

Clancey - A wealthy woman who was kidnapped from her estate by pirates when she was a teenager. She was held ransom but her father did not care enough to pay for her safe return. She was then thrown to the sharks and left to die. However she did not die and instead rose from the ashes and became a pirate assassin in hopes that one day her target would be her own father. Her attire covers her face and her entire body in a way that does not reveal her true gender. Most believe she is a male but in fact she is a woman who wants revenge.

It resembles a giant skull with 4 gem slots on the sides. 4 special gems must be found by digging and when all 4 gems are found you can go to the pack a punch and activate the machine for 30 seconds. Players place their weapons inside the mouth of the skull. The mouth closes and the eyes will glow purple. It will then spit out your pack a punched weapon.

A lot of thought went into this. Love how you took the time to give each character quotes and mini-easter eggs. Nice!

A pirate/island themed level sounds pretty good actually.

Thanks man! I remember hearing about Motd originally having individual easter eggs for each character so I thought I would try that here

[Stop Mocking Me0]

-Good map

 

 

-Salts name: Bone Salts (Salts are just a type of liquid, bone implies that it's dry..)

 

-Bonus points (brains) for all the quotes. 

 

-This does not seem to be a map who's characters can be developed further on (as they're dead I assume) so it should either be: 

 

-The secondary map that comes with the game, 

-The 2nd DLC map that involves real-world-actors (In which case I suggest finding some actors to improve imagery, Look for actors who are B or C list famous and are good at expression through voice: Saul Rubeinik (spelled wrong), Christopher Eccleston, anyone who's ever played the joker, ect.) 

-A micro-transaction DLC separate from the map packs. 

[NinjaNick]

For Clancys' s quote alone I love this! 

 

It's a great idea. I can imagine it now... So many deaths and so many victories!

Updated with Pictures and now Announcing Legacy of the Damned 2

[PINNAZ]

@Black Hand Smith

You should really put these concepts to the Custom Zombs community. See if some people will turn these into real maps. All of the ideas are there, you just need some map makers.

Perhaps get in touch with @DeathBringerZen see if anyone is interested in making it

[HitmanVere]

Favorite map concept so far, second being Historia. Enjoyed reading these and hopefully you make more
