“

The Mercs in their attempt to bypass a security checkpoint to the evacuation centre have ended up trapped in a flooded parking garage somewhere in a ravaged district of Kong King and unfortunately for them the Zombies had the same idea... — Devastation publicity blurb

”

Devastation is a community-created Zombie Infection map. It is set in the dark, flooded ruins of a partly-collapsed multi-storey parking garage.

Devastation was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Locations

• Stairs: all three floors are connected to each other through the Stairs, identified by a red "EXIT" sign above its doors.

  The middle floor exit of the Stairs.

Bottom Floor

• Cabinets Room: a small room with two cabinets inside. Contains a medium health kit and ammo pack.
• Bottom Corridor: a corridor that connects the Cabinets Room and the Flooded Corridor.
• Flooded Corridor: a corridor with water deep enough for players to have to swim in, but not deep enough to submerge and cause drowning.
• Tanks Room: a room with three cylindrical tanks.
• Car Ramp: Two ramps connecting the Bottom and Middle Floor.
• Maintenance Room: a small room in the middle section of the Car Ramp, connected through a vent to the Tanks Room.
• Double Gates: a room with two gates with red lights above them that the Zombies can come in from.
• Sewer: only accessible by the Zombies, the Sewer goes around half of the map, from the Maintenance Room all the way to the hole on the wall seen in the parking area, passing by the Machines Room in the Middle Floor, the Double Gates, and the middle section of the Stairs connecting the Bottom and Middle Floors.
