F.A.Q.

Do we get points for using a cover swapped (Comic Book cover changed to Zombie theme) character to defeat a zombie?

No. Points are earned when defeating a team containing any Featured Zombie Comic Book Cover Swaps or Zombie Minion.

You can also earn points by winning any battle with the MPQ Originals, Midnight Suns, or Zombie Costumed Characters listed in the original Blog Post. .

How come we can’t track progress in-game?

Community challenges currently live in their own out-of-game bubbles where our community team is utilizing analytics tools that weren’t designed for this feature and connecting those dots manually to activities in-game that also aren’t designed to be broadcasted publicly. While we 100% agree that it would be awesome to be able to track these community challenges in-game, we simply can’t with the game’s current architecture.

How are points earned differently with the equippable characters listed in the challenge on your team vs when you defeat a team with these characters in it?

When defeating a zombie team with these members on YOUR team, bonus points should be earned upon Victory:
Doctor Strange (Dead Strange), Headpool, or Spider-Man (Zombie), Midnight Suns affiliations, MPQ Originals.

Additionally, bonus points are earned for defeating Doctor Strange (Dead Strange), Headpool, or Spider-Man (Zombie) on an enemy team (with this being counted for BOTH) if you were to use one of these on your team to beat one of these listed characters.

i.e.
Team Polaris, Rocket & Groot, Juggernaut vs Enemy with Headpool = 5 points for defeating enemy Headpool
Team Polaris, Rocket & Groot, Spider-Man (Zombie) vs Enemy with Headpool = 10 points, 5 Points allied listed Zombie + 5 Points enemy Headpool

If you use three MPQ Originals in a battle, is it worth 1 point or 3? Same for Midnight Suns.

For purposes of the Community Challenge, each “category” is counted once separately. i.e., If you use any/all MPQ Originals, that’s 1 point. If you use any/all Midnight Suns, that’s 1 point. For the Zombie Killing leaderboard, these extra points have no effect (since the goal is to defeat zombies, NOT utilize characters related to them)

We don't appear to get points for using a cover swapped character?

Correct. You get a point for defeating a Cover Swapped character, not for using one. This is to entice users to find them out in the wild, as opposed to using appx 20% of the roster for points. To note, Ascended versions of these characters also count towards the goal, even though the Ascended versions aren’t cover swapped themselves, as the base is.

What counts as a zombie team? What missions should I be doing to get community points?
Any team with Zombie Minions in PVE.
Any team with characters with zombie Cover Swaps (whether base or Ascended) in PVE or PVP.

Both of these are separate points, so if you were to find a team with both Zombie Minions AND a Cover Swapped enemy, that’d be 2 points.
