Following the French evacuation of Paris, U.S. Ambassador William H. Crawford sent a letter to the United States requesting his evacuation from France. Upon receiving the letter, the United States dispatched the USS Constitution to rescue Crawford. The French army, which had fortified the town, took him to Roscoff. A garrison stationed in the church moved Crawford to the attic of a nearby farmhouse.
Shortly before the arrival of the US Marines, zombies breached the city's defenses and overran it, annihilating most of the French forces and forcing the rest into hiding. In response, the British deployed an Expeditionary Force to Roscoff to prevent the infected from reaching the coast and threatening British territory. Following the British withdrawal from Waterloo, deep mistrust had taken root between the French and British forces, leading the French army to capture members of the Expeditionary Force and kill several of them.
Under cover of fog, the USS Constitution evades British quarantine in Europe and successfully docks in the port of Roscoff.

The image captures the moment before the landing. Carl observes from the deck of the USS Constitution the troops lined up on the adjacent ship, partially obscured by the morning mist. Roscoff Harbor is silent, but the tension is palpable. Carl knows time is running out: Crawford will be transferred in a few hours, and this could be his only chance.

With a steady gaze and a calm voice, Carl gives the order: “Marines, prepare to reclaim what is ours. No one is left behind.”

This is the primary type of zombie you encounter in G&B; while relatively weak individually, their strength lies in their sheer numbers. Shamblers attack nearby soldiers or individuals, attempting to grab and bite them. They come in a wide variety of forms, including fallen soldiers, ordinary citizens, and workers.
Appearance: They are completely gray-skinned, with a decaying body and lifeless dark eyes.
Behavior: Shamblers will become agitated when a person approaches them within 5-6 meters. They will walk towards them in an attempt to seize their prey. If one Shambler grabs a human, 2 or 3 Shamblers may do the same, leaving the person with no chance of escape until they are devoured and turned into a Viral.

Statistics:
-Health: Average
-Damage: Claw: Low
-Speed: 3 meters per second
-Abilities: Grab: Can grab a player and hold them immobilized. Several Shamblers can grab a player at the same time.
Attack: If 4 Shamblers grab a player, the player will die instantly.
Infection: Infects the player when bitten or scratched by a Shambler.
History: Shamblers are long-dead corpses resurrected by the Plague, either by succumbing to another Shambler or by rising from the grave. These rotting, decaying corpses sometimes have been dead for up to 10 years, and their high infection rate is evidence of this. Almost everyone bitten by a Shambler inevitably dies from the infection of their wounds.
Trivia:
•The Shambler has the greatest variety of clothing compared to other zombies.
They may wear different clothes, hats, and uniforms, and even have pitchforks and knives stuck in their bodies. And, occasionally, a more macabre, almost decomposing face.

The Runner is a common type of zombie in G&B. It is a fast zombie that attacks at close range, charging at players and knocking them to the ground before biting them.
Appearance: They are like Shamblers, but their eyes are red and their body trembles when not disturbed.
Behavior: When a Runner detects a player, it immediately begins running toward them at a speed of 24 studs per second and charges on contact. When the Runner is within striking distance of the player it is chasing, it immediately charges, during which its running speed increases to 30 and its ability to change direction is impaired, giving the player an opportunity to dodge or hit it. When the Runner charges the player, it will aggressively and continuously bite the player's neck until it kills them instantly. The lower the player's health, the less time it takes to kill the Runner.

Statistics:
-Health: Low
-Damage: Instant death after 5 seconds
-Speed: 7 meters per second
-Abilities: Tackle: Able to tackle and then immobilize players on the ground, and requires the help of a teammate to be freed.
History: The Runners were recently infected, having transformed less than an hour ago. They are far more versatile and erratic in their movements compared to their decomposed counterpart, the Shambler.

The Bomber—also known as the Barrel Zombie or Bomb Zombie—is a medium-range explosive zombie found in G&B. It has gray skin and wears a red tunic or logistics uniform with a beige shirt and red vest. Equipped with a gunpowder barrel and a torch, it can damage players and sapper barricades by self-detonating.
Behavior: Bombers target the nearest detectable player. When a Bomber is within 5 meters of a Sapper person or barricade, it initiates its attack: it ignites its barrel with the torch it carries and then releases it; a whistling sound is heard, and 3.3 seconds later, the barrel explodes. Any person or barricade within the blast radius is damaged and potentially destroyed depending on its proximity to the source of the explosion.

Statistics
-Health: Low
-Damage: Depending on the distance from the individual
-Speed: 2 meters per second
-Abilities: Barrel Explosion: When a player or building is within 10 studs of a bomber, it will ignite its barrel and release its torch. Players within 5 meters of the explosion will be injured.
History: The bombers are deceased logisticians resurrected by the Plague. Due to rigor mortis, their muscles remain rigid while they hold the torch and barrel, though it is unknown how they release the torch after lighting the barrel, or how they came to carry these barrels and torches in the first place.

The Zapper — also known as the Zombie Zapper — is a type of slow, short-range zombie found in G&B, which focuses on inflicting large amounts of damage with its axe, while wearing the uniform of a random Nation (in this case, the United States).
Appearance: They are tall and have gray skin, bright orange eyes.
Behavior: The Zapper will automatically move toward the nearest detectable individual. When the Zapper is within 1 meter of the individual, it will initiate its attack: first, it will raise its axe in the air and attempt to lunge at the target individual to strike them. One of the following situations may occur: the axe will hit the ground, forcing the Zapper to withdraw it, or the individual will be struck by the axe, suffering damage.

Statistics
-Damage: Medium
-Speed: 3 meters per second
-Ability: Axe Thing (2.27 seconds per hit).
Zappers are resistant to headshots.
Variants:
-Viral Sapper: Viral Zappers are a special variant of the Zapper that only appears when a Sapper is fully infected. Unlike the standard Zapper, Viral Zappers attack and move faster, and inflict more damage than their normal counterpart.

The Igniter is a special type of zombie found in G&B, specializing in denying access to certain areas and punishing individuals for gathering in groups. It is distinguished by its charred gray flesh, wrinkled appearance, its left arm with the bone completely exposed, and the light source emanating from the lamp it holds.
Behavior: Carries a flashlight that illuminates its surroundings and will walk toward a detected player at a speed of 14 studs per second, moving faster than a Shambler. When a detected individual is within 20-25 meters of its position, it will stop moving, charge its arm, and throw its flashlight, which will fly toward the target player at a speed of 9 meters per second at an arcing angle. When the flashlight hits the ground, it will cause the exposed ground to ignite; any individuals, sapper barricades, and zombies within the affected area will catch fire, receiving low damage per second; Igniters are immune to fire, being the only exception.

Statistics
-Damage: Hit: Low, Burn: Low
-Speed: 5 meters per second
-Ability: Flashlight Throw: The Igniter will aim his flashlight at players within 100 studs. It takes 1 second to prepare and throw.
History: The Igniters are deceased lamplighters who have been corrupted by the Plague.

The Cuirassier Zombie — also known as Cuirassier or Zuirassier — is a type of short-range armored Zombie found in G&B, specializing in adapting its attack movements with a bloodied Heavy Saber, while wearing the Cuirassier attire of a random Nation (such as France due to its appearance in Roscoff).
Appearance: Completely gray, with a large part of the face deformed with exposed flesh, a glowing red left eye and his right hand almost deformed and fleshy.
Behavior: The Cuirassier walks toward the nearest detectable player. Additionally, the Cuirassier moves at different speeds depending on whether it is in Duel mode: the Cuirassier walks at a speed of 6 meters per second by default, which increases to 8 meters per second when in Duel mode.

Statistics
-Damage: Slash: Low, Thrust: Low, Impale: Medium (Impact and sword extraction: Almost high)
-Speed: Walking: 6 m/s, Duel: 8 m/s, Carrying: 15-24 m/s.
-Skills:
•Duel: When the Cuirassier is within 30 studs of a player, he will raise his Heavy Saber and initiate an attack against the player, engaging in a fencing duel. During the duel, the Cuirassier will attack with lateral movements of the saber and may perform a Slash without preparation time. He will always lower his head when the individual attacks to avoid attempts to hit his head, using his helmet for protection.
•Charge: When the Cuirassier is within 40-50 meters of an individual and has a clear path and line of sight, it will initiate a charge: first raising its Heavy Saber and howling, then howling again and beginning to run towards the player at a speed of 15 m/s, increasing to a maximum of 24 m/s at a rate of 2 m/s/s. During the charge, the Cuirassier can only turn within a 60-degree cone of its original charge direction, and can maintain the charge for up to 5 seconds before stopping.
