- Horde Mode is the flagship feature of the Halloween update (October 22, 2026).
- Zombie creation: throw dummies into the graveyard and they rise as zombies; bitten dummies get infected and turn.
- Three zombie speeds confirmed by the official description: slow, normal and fast — they chase, pounce and bite.
- Start the challenge with the Horde button, then survive the zombie wave.
The Halloween update turned Ragdoll Reality’s playground into an infection sim. The official description gives the recipe directly: throw dummies into the graveyard, and they rise as zombies. That makes Grab — the tool that lets you pick dummies up — the single most important skill for Horde Mode preparation.
Once a dummy lands in the graveyard, it converts and joins the horde. From there, the horde spreads itself: zombies chase, pounce and bite, and bitten dummies get infected and turn. Your own weapon experiments can accidentally build a bigger army than you planned, which is exactly the fun of it.
Slow Zombies
The shamblers. Easy to kite with ranged weapons, dangerous in groups when you are cornered near a trap.
Normal Zombies
The baseline threat. They close distance steadily and will pounce when close enough.
Fast Zombies
The pressure spike. Fast movers force you to reposition — the Minigun and explosive tools earn their keep here.
The official description confirms the three speeds and the chase/pounce/bite behaviour set. Zombie health values and wave counts are not published; this guide will not invent them.
- Press the Horde button
The official description says it plainly: “Press the Horde button and survive the zombie wave.” It starts the wave encounter on your server.
- Pick your weapon tier
Bring your strongest unlocked ranged tools — the All Weapons covers what is confirmed. Explosives clear clusters; the Flamethrower denies approaches.
- Use the playground against them
Kiting zombies through the Traps & Locations — the train, spike pit, shredder — turns the map itself into a weapon.
- Watch the infection
Any dummy the horde bites can turn. In a sandbox this cuts both ways: feed them deliberately to grow the challenge, or protect your test dummies if you want a controlled fight.
Horde Mode shipped as part of the Halloween update on October 22, 2026, alongside graveyard conversion and the infection system. The full timeline — including the game’s October 13 creation, its chart climb, and the weekly update cadence the developer promises — is on the Halloween Update 2026.
