Gameplay

With too many ROBLOX players, it is considered an exteremly challenging game, and winning is rarely seen in many servers due to the many hazards, zombies, griefing, trolling, lack of coordination between players, deadly events and other things.

Storyline

Warning

The following contains spoilers.

Pre-Contamination

In May 24th, GRI (Abbreviation for Genetic Research Institution) holds a chemical test with all GRI staff on high alert to check if anything goes wrong. During the test, a miscalculation in the chemicals formulae shows that the substance can generate hazardous stuff to the anatomy such as a coronavirus. The chemical installs FOP to several testers before they mutate into flesh eating zombies.

Contamination

The story begins in a closet after the failed test. A unknown individual communicated to the players via public address system. He gives the players instructions on what to do. The individual warns them of an incoming horde. The humans will then wipe out the zombies and move on to the next room.

The next stage is a silo cableway leading to a surface elevator, the narrator orders them to head towards the elevator and warns them that a hunter may be nearby. A hunter pounces out of nowhere and is taken out. Suddenly, explosions come from the end of the hallway while the narrator screams in agony. The humans safely make it out alive and head towards the next objective: The toxic pool.

The narrator advises the players to make there way to the bridge over the toxic pool (where the substance is made) and tells them to take the ladder. As the players cross over a bridge, a smoker appears and tries to grab them. They kill the smoker and the bridge then collapses and fall in the toxic pool. Through the air vents, a hunter appears from the end but easily kill it. They then hear the narrator getting butchered and eaten by a zombie through the PA. Acid breaks through the walls and the players must get to the door quickly or else the door will close on them, leaving no survivors behind.

The humans will then make there way in a hallway eliminating a Hunter on the way, they head towards an empty conference room in which the projector turns on and displays a short film of how to reverse the mutation by installing antibody and ask permission for the mayor to release it into the main sewer system along with a penalty of $1,000,000. They murder a swarm of zombies and take an elevator, just then the substance is released into the sewer supply along infecting civilians 200 miles across, setting the story for Outbreak: Survivors. The elevator crashes towards the ground and then the humans must take out a horde of zombies. They will then take another vent while trying their best not to disturb the witch.

The humans would then kill more zombies and make it to the final stage. A giant zombie breaks the wall and tries to murder them. The humans fight hard and eventually slay the giant zombie. The game ends when the remaining alive head towards light.

Criticism

While the place is considered by countless amount of users to be one of the greatest classics in ROBLOX History, it is often criticized by majority of its playerbase for being significantly difficult mostly to players who are quite inexperienced in the game. It's criticized by often being played by new users who often have little to no idea of what to do in the game. It should also be noted that due to lack of updates the game is easy to exploit.

Griefing

One of the most common aspects that people tend to often criticize the game about is griefing. There are a lot of ways to grief or troll in this game. Some of the griefers are actually new players who have little knowledge on what to do in the game thus making them do things which is unbeneficial to the rest of the players. One of most common ways to grief in this game is by attracting zombies into your team and getting killed, blocking the ladder in the way to the toxic pool, or by opening fire at the witch which will get a significant amount of your team killed unless you somehow manage to eliminate the witch first.

Exploiting

Another way that the game is ruined is by exploiting. Due to the lack of worthwhile updates the game has become extremely easy to exploit. One of the most common ways of exploiting here is by changing the amount of wins a player has or by deleting the walls.

Human Strategies

As a human you have an unbalanced advantage over the Zombie team due to you having additional health, mobility and damage. However, it only takes a few seconds for you to get killed (Unless you spawn with a melee weapon) Because of this you should always be extremely cautious and know when to advance. It's advised you stay at the back of your team to increase your chances of survival. It should also be noted that the Sterling is the most powerful weapon in the game and a skilled and experienced Sterling user can easily lead a team to an easy victory.

Zombie Strategies

When a player dies he is actually able to respawn in the form of a undead zombie in one of the cutscenes. If you are to die in the beginning of the game you will be able to respawn as the form of a zombie three times. (Cinema scene, Hallway scene, Ending scene. As a zombie, it doesn't take that much time to kill a human, as touching them for only even a second is enough to get them killed. However, due to the geography of the map you are most likely to get wiped out before you get the chance. Because of how vulnerable the regular zombie is it's extremely difficult to fight very aggressively, due to the zombie's aspects it's heavily recommended to fight passively.

An effective way to cost the lives of many humans is to hide and then attack when the humans are very near. One of the ways were you can apply this strategy is in the cinema scene, as soon as the video stops and your vision is restored. Make your way to the hallway connected to the elevator. Make sure you are in a third version view so you may see the entranceway without being spotted. As soon as you're near enough, surprise the enemy and touch them which will result in most if not all of the human team dying.

Trivia

Template:Trivia section small

Contamination was one of the first places in ROBLOX to have rounds in gameplay, instead of just respawning after dying (similar to obbys ) or having a story-styled gameplay (similar to adventure games).
The zombies that are in this game are also the same types of zombies from the Left 4 Dead series. Many other zombie/horror games use the same zombies from the series such as DATINE's Reason 4 Life series.
The Tank boss has been through 3 changes. From 2009-2013, it used to be blue and had a panther head. Then from 2013, it was a gray, muscular zombie with a white coat. At 2014, it shrunk and lost the coat.
- The 2014 Tank also lost an animation.
There is a glitch where when you're stacked on a player in a small room or hallway, you might pop out of the roof and roam around on top of the map freely.
The Boomer's Torso is a retextured Penguin Torso from the Penguin package.
Back then, you could purchase a Desert Eagle, Extra armor, Luger and a flamethrower using either TIX or ROBUX. These are no longer available to be purchased, the only power up that can still be purchased is the Contamination Benefits which link is in the description of the place and is available to be purchased for 50 robux. The benefits will only apply if you're wearing the shirt, the benefits are: Sterling upon spawn, additional health and additional walkspeed.
If you spawn with a melee weapon, you will have 650 healthpoints. Making you more difficult to kill. It will also not take a few seconds to kill you.
Back then weapons had ammunition which took 4 seconds to reload, this was removed most likely because it wouldn't help the player during a bad situation.
Currently, the jockey is glitched and it will be impossible to remove once it is on you.
Once you have beat the entire game once, you are given a cake which shall heal 5 health points per bite. According to its description it's a piece cut of from the tank.
