An Arcade is a location that can be visited during the Always be Looting event.

Arcades have few supplies that can be found within it. There are some vending machines with food, as well as 1-2 playable arcade machines. Additionally, Swarmed Arcades feature gachapon prize machines that can be broken open for food, morale, Shooting training, or strength+fitness training.

Using the arcade machines will cause time to pass and, in that time, zombies will spawn. It is advised that you have other group members around to guard the character interacting with the machines. If not guarded, they will have to defend themselves against more zombies. Alternatively, a character with high Mechanical (5 or higher) can dismantle the arcade machine for gas, which does not cause time to pass.

View of the gachapon machine that appears in Swarmed Arcades

Dead Arcade[]

As the name suggests, it is an arcade with a fairly sluggish crowd of zombies.

Swarmed Arcade[]

Swarmed arcades have a significantly larger horde of zombies that are usually more aggressive as well. It contains a gachapon machine in addition to the usual arcade machine.

Arcade (city)[]

Within city events, players may choose to visit a small arcade building which contains only one playable arcade machine.

Event Text[]

Dead Arcade[]

The group finds a pretty big arcade, full of now silent video games. Maybe if you check, one of them will be gas or battery powered. That could happen.

Swarmed Arcade[]

The group spots an arcade. The dead completely swarm the inside of it. It's probably a bad idea to go in there. Or is it? At least bring someone to watch your back.

Arcade machine[]

AB1

Arcade Break options

This arcade machine seems to be working! It's not very clear how it can run without electricity.

Not sapient: [Character] stares at the arcade machine in confusion. What seperates people from animals is mostly that animals don't play video games. At least, for the most part.
Sapient, alone: With no one trustworthy nearby to watch out for zombies, playing it could be dangerous.
Sapient, not alone: [Character] considers taking a videogame break while he/she is guarded.

[Character] plays the arcade game[]

AB result

Result of playing the arcade game (the arcade's game name may vary)

[Character] plays an old arcade game named [Game] and really gets into it.

Possible game names: DEATH ROAD TO CANADA, DEATH SPLATTERS, TOUCH OF DEATH, POLYBIUS, DEATHSPLOSIONAL, U*L*T*R*A*D*E*A*T*H

Like all video games ever made, playing it increases your skills with guns. The critics were right. Before [Character] knew it, 2 hours had passed.

  • [Character] +1 Shooting
  • [Character] Shooting revealed
  • [Character] +1 Morale

If character is alone
There was no one around to defend [Character] during this, so he/she had to fend off zombies while playing. Watch out!

  • 7-13 zombies spawn in the room

[Character] dismantles the arcade machine[]

[Character] starts taking the arcade machine apart to see how it runs.

After some quick rooting around, he/she figures out the reason. It turns out all these old arcade machines are gas powered! [Character] carefully drains the gas out of its compartment.

  • +40-70 gas

Gachapon machine[]

[Character] finds an unbroken prize machine. You'd use to put in a quarter and get something. Now it's more convenient to just smash it.

Possible capsule types:

  • The machine is full of gumballs.
  • It contains little capsules full of cheap toys.
  • The prizes are capsules with small figurines.
  • The machine has capsules filled with green fluid.
  • The machine is over half empty, but contains candy.
  • It's full of capsules housing tiny toy guns.

Trivia[]

  • The Gachapon Green Fluid event might be a reference to the Nickelodeon's T.V. series The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) in which there is blueish-green mutagen that causes bizarre mutations to occur if it gets on a living person or creature.
