Undead Nightmare

Unreleased

The  Pack is a piece of downloadable content for Red Dead Redemption. The Pack features an entirely new single-player campaign that follows John Marston as he tries to find a cure for the highly infectious zombie plague that has spread across the frontier. The prices are $15.95 AUS dollars, $9.99 US dollars, £7.99, €9.99 or 800 Microsoft Points. It was released on October 26, 2010.

Seemingly overnight, a zombie plague ravages the once bountiful frontier, decimating the landscape and reawakening the dead. In towns, settlements, and outposts throughout the world, the uninfected citizens are left to fight for survival against waves of the undead. John Marston must ride out into the vast and terrifying world and survive long enough to find a cure.

To start Undead Nightmare you choose single player in the main menu, and the options Undead Nightmare and Red Dead Redemption appear.

Trivia

 * The Blunderbuss, Torch, Holy Water and Zombie Bait are four of the new weapons in Undead Nightmare.
 * The Blunderbuss uses pieces of the undead for ammo.
 * Zombified versions of most of the animals appear. (e.g. Bulls, Wolves, Cougars, etc.)
 * Many characters from the other Single-Player mode appear, such as Nigel West Dickens, Seth, Bonnie MacFarlane, and Leigh Johnson
 * Despite Landon Ricketts having a zombified version of himself in Multiplayer, he is never directly shown as a zombie. Once the player finishes his survivor mission ("Biographies and Lies") he is never seen again.
 * Both Abigail Marston and Jack Marston are zombified.
 * There was a problem in New Zealand where the pack had come out but it was not due to come out. For some time areas, the pack will be released on the 27th October 2010.
 * Undead Nightmare seems to take place in an alternate timeline, one reason is that Uncle is killed off from the start. Though when John Marston puts the mask back on the pedestal at the end of the story, both Abigail and Jack Marston turn back to normal, and in the epilogue John is dead a few months later, and returns as a Zombie.
 * Another reason for it being non-canonical is the fact that Harold MacDougal is killed by Nastas. It is also important to note that Nastas was still alive after John defeated Dutch and returned to his family in this timeline.
 * Jonah is killed by Eli
 * Zombie Reyes is killed by Alive John Marston
 * In the Sepulcro graveyard you will be attacked by Vincente de Santa

Tips

 * In Undead Nightmare, ammo is scarce, and very hard to find. To maximize its use, either consitently aim for head shots, or switch to casual aiming for auto-headshot aiming. For more ammo as well, try to save towns, as these give you extra ammo and an easy place to save and hide out. And try to do some random events, as these will also give you extra ammo.
 * Another way to conserve ammo is to use your Torch. Though it may not be a one hit kill, it will set them on fire, killing them sooner or later.
 * Also, try to stay on top of buildings as much as possible, or on the other side of fences as Zombies cannot jump over them. It also is good if you try to stay out of buildings too, as you will not have as much room to maneuver and a few zombies will probably follow you. If you have to tough, bring Holy Water to destroy them all quickly.
