The 7 Layers of Zombie Outbreaks

The 7 Layers of Zombie Outbreaks

Some zombie outbreaks you could survive with a shovel and a half-decent plan. Others would wipe you off the map before you even knew what hit you.

In this video, we’re ranking the deadliest zombie viruses and outbreaks from across games, movies, anime, and comics into seven brutal survival tiers. From the slow shamblers of Night of the Living Dead to the rage-fueled sprint of 28 Days Later, from the bioengineered nightmares of Resident Evil to the galactic hive of Halo’s Flood—nothing is off the table.

We’re covering outbreaks like the Blacklight Virus from Prototype, the Anti-Life infection from DCeased, the Quantum Virus from Marvel Zombies, and the Sludge God contamination from John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando. We’re diving into The Last of Us Cordyceps apocalypse, World War Z swarms, Overlord’s occult soldiers, Train to Busan surges, Pontypool’s language virus, Return of the Living Dead’s Trioxin disaster, and more.

Tier 1 is manageable if you’re smart. Tier 7? That’s extinction. No bunker, no cure, no last stand.
