Get ready for an electrifying adventure in the Wild West with a steampunk twist in Zombicide: Undead or Alive – Gears & Guns! This expansion introduces a universe where steam and advanced technology meet the relentless zombie threat. Forget traditional cowboys; here, you'll control the new Engineer-class Survivors, masters of innovative weaponry and fantastic inventions, ready to face the undead with style and plenty of firepower.
The narrative of Gears & Guns throws you into an alternate future where humanity, after decades of conflict, has united to embrace the Age of Steam. Gigantic railroads crisscross the continent, prosperity drives engineers' creativity, and the wild West beckons with promises of a better life. But, of course, not everything is steam and roses. Rumors of frontier towns vanishing and people going mad are spreading, and the question is: is it some exotic illness or something far more sinister? Science advances, but so do the dangers!
This is a campaign expansion, meaning you're not just playing isolated missions. There are ten scenarios that form a continuous story, where your choices and your Survivors' performance in each mission can have lasting consequences. Your heroes accumulate experience, skills, and equipment throughout the journey, making every decision crucial to the campaign's outcome. It's time to crank the gears and pull the triggers to survive!
