Submission and discussion of possible new skills for the game can be found on the Suggestions page.

Skills allow characters to improve existing abilities or gain new ones. Skills are purchased with Experience Points (XP). The cost of a skill depends on which class was chosen during character creation. Once purchased, skills cannot be deleted. Survivor skills can only be purchased while living, and zombie skills can only be purchased while dead. The number of skills a character knows determines their level.

Completing the Skill Tree

Currently it takes the following amount of XP for the different classes to complete their skill trees:

Survivor:

• Civilian:

Civilian characters require only 2200 XP to max out their skill tree.

• Military:

Characters of the Military class need 2275 XP to complete their skill trees unless they started as a Medic. The Medic starts with a scientist skill and thus only requires 2200 XP to max out.

• Scientist:

Science class characters need the most XP to max out; 2575 XP.

Note: Survivors can also benefit from the Scent Death and Ankle Grab skills.

Zombie:

• Zombie:

Zombies require 2200 XP to max out the skill tree, unless they started as a zombie. Starting zombies receive Vigour Mortis and thus require only 2100 XP to max out.

Note: Zombies can also benefit from the Body Building, Diagnosis, and NecroTech Employment skills (although Diagnosis is redundant if the Scent Blood skill is purchased, and Body Building is redundant if Flesh Rot is purchased).

This page is open to adverts by groups currently recruiting new members.

The Abandoned is one of the oldest remaining survivor groups in the game. We are actively recruiting new members to barricade, heal, revive and defend against the zombie threat in Yagoton.

We are a group structured around individuals being able to take action themselves by group guidelines while communicating through a forum structure. We rarely give direct orders, unless you are part of a cell.

We have several cool toys, tools, and scripts found nowhere else, as they were created by our own members. For newer players we offer help and advice in their character progression.

We have stood against many threats to ourselves and the people of Yagoton from both zombies and PKers alike and we are still here. Defending the most successful revive effort in the city, the YRC, we have helped to provide the city with a great place for survivors to live and thrive.

So join us today and fight for a good cause.

Welcome one and all. if you hate being micro-managed by over bearing group leaders and sub leaders and what not, then you might just have a home here in the AMS. We do what we want, when we want, reviving eachother, healing comrades and patrons of the mall, and keeping the area around us secure from our foes next door in Ridleybank. It doesn't take much to be a part of the team. Just Put Ackland Mall Security as your group tag in your profile and simply revive, cade, kill, dump and definitely heal when you can. Ackland Mall is our home base so walk, run, or shamble on over and simply play to your hearts content. To give you a small bit of history on ourselves, i'll start with saying that we are one of the oldest groups in malton, reaching further back than the battle of the bear-pit. We are also one of the only two groups to be saLUEted by one of the most coordinated and devastating zombie groups to ever hit this game, LUE. we're like fine wine ladies and gentlemen, and if good fun and great times is what your after, then head over to Havercroft and join up with us at Ackland Mall. see if you have what it takes to wear the proud badge of the Ackland Mall Security group. check out our forums at our tiny URL link.

Angels Wing is a medical group based in Wyke Hills, trying to give help to those in need and hand out revives to the zombies that want it.

Honestly, we just lurk around graveyards playing pranks on feral Zombies and enjoying a spot of tea with our green fleshed chaps.

So if you like healing, socializing, and sexy parties, why not check us out?

The Bio-Mimetic Android Infestation Removal Corps is a group of government-created androids which were recently airdropped into Malton in order to gain reconnaissance on the situation and aid in the destruction of the zombie infestation, if it remains. Unfortunately, the androids, which were intended to be radio-controlled via satellite, had their transceivers hacked by some computer-savvy survivor shortly after their arrival. Lacking any free will, though possessed of a series of rudimentary AIs to aid in the performance of various tasks, the androids may be operated by any person who wishes to do so. They are operated by a simple Graphical User Interface which is accessed via internet at www.urbandead.com. This interface allows for commands to be given, and near-realtime data to be received from the unit being accessed. It is unknown how many androids currently exist in Malton, though it is known that the initial series of 10, which were AI-controlled prototypes, cannot be controlled from outside Malton.

An android's physical appearance is much like that of a bald, genderless human, with blue skin. Their "blood" (actually a lubricating fluid which contains haemoglobin-based nanites for the extraction of carbon waste from their various internal components) is green in color, and their "eyes" are black and reflective, owing to their containing several sophisticated sensors.

Transceiver Codes for Known Hacked Androids:

Username: 000000011 Password: 000000011

Username: 000000012 Password: 000000012

Username: 000000013 Password: 000000013

Username: 000000014 Password: 000000014

Username: 000000015 Password: 000000015

Username: 000000016 Password: 000000016

Username: 000000017 Password: 000000017

Username: 000000018 Password: 000000018

Username: 000000019 Password: 000000019

Username: 000000020 Password: 000000020

Username: 000000021 Password: 000000021

Username: 000000022 Password: 000000022

Due to the androids' nature as bio-mimetic machines, their synthetic physiology is almost entirely similar to that of a human. This allows them to have self-repairing components, and allows them to use food and drink to power themselves. It also has the unfortunate side-effect of making them susceptible to the zombie infection. Thus, androids may also rise as "living" dead. However, it has been noted that this state has little bearing upon their controllability.

(Please note you are free to make your own BMAIRC android, but we do ask that you please make the name 9 digits long, and make both it and the password available on this page.) Tanuki 02:30, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

A message from Cobra Commander: Greetings, citizens of Malton, for too long trench-tastic GI Joe forces have roamed the streets of Malton with impunity. All the while, in darkness Cobra has waited and prepared. Now is the time to rise up against the entrenched survivor. But, what can lonely you do to help save Malton? Speak to a Cobra recruiter! We are currently looking for both team-oriented and solo killers. All you need do is stop by the forum and start killing Joes. We are feral in nature, so you are welcome to see the city or stay in one spot. Roam with the group or strike out on your own, either way you have the full support of Cobra and all associated 'businesses.' All we ask is that you do your part to eliminate the threat to everyone, which is GI JOE. Following comprehensive Cobra training, including our new 'Actually hitting your fucking target' training, we will have you killing Joes in no time. The days when knowing was half the battle are over. Long live the days of pyramid schemes and global domination! COBRRRAAA!!!

The Ridleybank Resistance Front wants you! Are you a lonely zombie, tired of bashing barricades by yourself and rarely reaching the tasty brains on the other side? Are you a survivor, bored with the inane bickering of your fellow breathers, as they argue for days over barricade levels and danger reports? Then join us - the RRF - we want to give you the fun you're searching for! We are one of the largest, most storied, and successful hordes in the entire game, eating survivors and smashing safehouses since September 2005. We extend a warm hand (in spirit, our actual hands are room-temperature) of welcome to those who wish to escape the Serious Business of other groups, and have a laugh while still being deadly in the field of combat. Old player with tons of skills? You are most welcome to bring your experience to us. New player without even Ankle Grab? We will feed you until you burst - babahz are one of our special joys to raise, a feeling shared horde-wide. If you like to free-wheel, you can join the main horde, the Department of Homeland Security, and rampage about the homeland. Like the coordinated action of strike teams? We have two to choose from at various times of day - Auxunit 10 and The Constables. Can't quite give up on ammo and oxygen? The Gore Corps, THE death cultists of Malton, belong to us, and will put your firearm addiction to good use. And foremost, the Front is a family. We look out for each other in a way many harmanz - and even some zambahz - still have yet to learn. Those in command are always approachable with any problems or questions you may have. For as much as you would give to the horde, the horde would give to you. Plus the total lack of pants and the kicking of Serious Business right in the fish-and-chips. We want to have fun, and we want you to have it too. Come and play!

Ständige Vertretung is a group of determined survivors that resist the advance of zombie hordes in Malton. We are one of the few survivor groups in the Tapton area, and we coordinate our efforts through an online forum and an IRC chat room.

Dieses Fest muss klappen, sie werden bereuen mich nicht zu mögen! We have been spending most of our lives living in a Tapton paradise. We don't fight and we all play nice. Keeping it safe and reviving guys. Care to join us in our battle? All we need from you is your UDProfile ID and a post from you in our recruitment thread stating it. Make sure you sign up for an account there as you'll need it to post.
