There's even an achievement called Kite Like a Man for using their firepower to kill a tank.Īpart from being a straight-up expansion and introducing new areas and story lines, The Passing delivers fun riffs on multiplayer gaming. As you're playing a campaign, they shoot at zombies from atop the drawbridge, providing supervaluable cover fire as you try to refuel the bridge's generator. The original survivors aren't playable, but they really lend a hand in the game's big finale.
The first time I bumped into them they were friendly when I replayed the campaign, they seemed slightly ticked and threw a veiled insult or two toward my group. The promo embedded above (not a part of the game) is a taste of the kind of banter you'll encounter.
Encounters with them are fun, sprinkled with conversations that play differently each time you meet the characters.
But, as widely publicized, The Passing brings back the survivors from the first game.
