Zombie Fortress is a SourceMod plugin and unofficial game mode for Team Fortress 2. There are two opposing teams: the Survivors (RED), and the Zombies (BLU) who wish to eat the Survivors. The Survivors need to complete their objective, which can vary depending on the game mode. When a Survivor is killed, they are converted into a Zombie. When no Survivors remain, the Zombies win.
Survivors and Zombies can only select certain classes. The Survivors can choose the Soldier, Pyro, Demoman, Engineer, Medic and Sniper classes. They are armed with regular weapons and several perk choices for improved effectiveness against the Zombies. The Zombies can only choose the Scout, Heavy and Spy classes (which are only equipped with their melee weapons), some special items (such as Bonk and Sandvich), a choice of perks, and the ability to use taunt kills.

Objective
On most maps the goal is to survive until the timer runs out. On certain maps however, specific objectives also need to be achieved in order for the Survivors to win. Some of these possible objectives are:
- Defense: Where the Survivors have to stop the Zombies from capturing two control points while staying alive.
- Capture: Where the Survivors have to capture all points while staying alive.
- Survival: Where Survivors must hold out for a certain amount of time.
- Capture the Flag: Where the Survivors must travel around the level and grab intelligence briefcases from various places in the level and return each case to the center point.
Strategy
Survivor Strategy
- All: Survivors should stick together to increase the survivability factor, or to increase the speed at which points cap during maps with capture points. In addition, if one Survivor is using a certain perk the others will receive a boost in attack, defense and Crit-chance, as well as a cluster of survivors is harder for Scouts and Heavies to take out.
- Soldier: In the Mod the Soldier is the best ally for a Medic in attacking situations, due to the Heavy being a Zombie-only class. He is also the best class against hordes due to his rockets' explosion radius (especially when he fires a crocket), and his ability to use either the Buff Banner or Battalions Backup to provide either Mini-Crits or a Crit-negating defense boost. In addition, like the Demoman he can increase capture speed using the Pain Train.
- Pyro: The Pyro is highly limited in this mod due to the fact that Flamethrower ammunition is restricted to 125 rather than the usual 200. The Pyro is useful against large hordes due to his airblast and afterburn, however the Pyro uses up 1/5th of his ammo every time he airblasts, so the Pyro has to be selective about how often the ability is used.
- Demoman: The Demoman is the best ally for a Medic in defensive situations due to his ability to lay sticky traps over entrances. A Demoman is also deadly in melee fights, especially if he gets a few heads with his Eyelander. In addition, on cp maps he can help increase the cap speed by using the Pain Train.
- Engineer: The Engineer is the most defensive class of the Mod but can be useful when attacking by using the Gunslinger. The Engineer's buildings are also changed in the name of balance. The Sentry Gun starts with half ammo and cannot be repaired, the Dispenser is unable to heal or dispense health or ammo but is used as a blockade, while the Teleporter works the same way. The Engineer also cannot upgrade his buildings.
- Medic: The Medic is an extremely useful asset in the Mod. His overheal does not decay, his Syringe Gun does not need to be reloaded and his health regenerates. However the Medic should constantly watch his primary ammo so he does not run out and leave himself vulnerable.
- Sniper: On open maps the Sniper is extremely useful due to his long range of fire and his ability to headshot attacking zombies. Against hordes he is useful when combined with his ability to give teammates Mini-Crits on soaked enemies using his Jarate. The Sniper's SMG also does not need to be reloaded.
Zombie Strategy
- Scout: In the mod, the Scout maintains his speed and double jump. The Scout excels at distracting Sentry Guns and ambushing lone Survivors due to the ability to use The Sandman, Bonk! Atomic Punch, and Crit-a-Cola.
- Heavy: The Heavy in the mod functions much the same as he does in regular gameplay. The Heavy excels at picking off stragglers in a Survivor group and then attacking the bulk of the Survivors using his Showdown taunt kill and the Crits from the K.G.B..
- Spy: The Spy still remains a large threat in the mod due to his abilities. The Spy is still able to Cloak (the maximum Cloak he can have is 80%) and backstab, but is unable to disguise without the help of Your Eternal Reward, which then makes him an exetremly deadly threat unless the survivors keep a good eye on the kill feed.
