Introduction
Hello, all! About a day ago, the good people over at Gimkit HQ released the new game-mode, “Apocalypse”. A zombie survival-type mode set in an atomic wasteland, it showcases a plethora of new weap0ns, props, and mechanics to Gimkit’s collection. And as is the case with everything, they’ll eventually make their way to Creative, too.
Out of excitement, though, I decided to throw together a little guide to discuss everything I observed within the new game-mode, to bring up the potential some of these things might have if they come to GKC. So without further ado, let’s get into it!
HUGE DISCLAIMER
This guide is created purely with the hopes that Gimkit will add everything from the new game-mode to Creative, but just know that there will most likely be things that they will not.

NONE OF THESE PROP NAMES ARE OFFICIAL, JUST KNOW.
Aside from all the new mechanics Gimkit has thrown into this gamemode, there’s the addition of a bunch of new props. I have a feeling that we’ll be seeing a lot of western-style games once these props come to Creative.
Here’s a list of all the props you can find in the map:
Desert Rocks (Orange) (7 variations)
Desert Rocks (Gray) (8 Variations)
Desert Plants (5 Variations)
Dead Bush (2 Variations)
Tumbleweed (4 Variations)
Rubble Barrier (5 Variations)
Gasoline Canister
Rusted Wreckage
Disaster Shelter Entrance/Base (2 Variations)
Rusted Pipes (2 Variations)
Rusted Gas Pump
Generator
Rusted Oil Barrel (3 Variations)
Radioactive Waste Barrel (2 Variations)
Rusted Shopping Cart
Scrap Satchel
Rusty Scrap (3 Variations)
Rusty Ground Faucet
Cactus (4 Variations)
Updates/Mechanics
Within the new mode, there are a HECK ton of changes to things.
I’ll sort 'em out here:
Props:
- Can track damage
- Can interact w/ sentries (damage will register in the system)
- Can be damaged before the game starts*
Sentries:
- CAN MOVE?!?!?
- Can target and attack props
- Can have a visible health-bar
- Have many new skins (Rotter, Thornz, Geckasaurus(Reskin), Whirlwind, Graveler, Cagewalker, Truckatron(Reskin)*
Skins
Rotter
Thornz
Geckasaurus
Whirlwind
Graveler
Cagewalker
Truckatron
- Have the ability to create a smaller sentry upon destruction (Graveler)
- Can be toggled to either attack players or props (or both?)*
- Have a new melee weəpon*
GUI:
- Can track prop health
- “Menu” device:
- Can have multiple buttons to one side of the screen*
Weap0ns
Apocalypse has brought some interesting new weap0ns into the game, such as:
The Stoneburster
To sum it up, this is essentially just a re-skin of the zapper, dealing 18 damage with the rock projectiles it fires. Not too much range, either. About as mid as mid weap0ns get.
The Prickler
I like this one a lot. It fires little thorns out which deal 40 damage, and it’s projectile speed and range are insane.
and lastly,
The Twister
If I had to compare this weap0n to anything, it’d probably be the Evil Eye. Dealing 140 damage with its dust-particle projectiles, it’s a good weap0n for heavy enemies. Only downside is that it has a small ammo capacity, but that’s a fair nerf considering how good this thing is.
That’s all for this overview! I had fun coming back to do this little guide, so let me know what you thought!
