[UPD] Ragdoll Reality 🩸
How location-based damage works
Check
Dummies do not just fall over when struck — each body part reacts on its own. A hit to the leg slows the dummy down or sends it crawling. Strike an arm and it dangles while the dummy clutches the wound. You can also sever limbs entirely, which causes bleeding from the stump. Dummies will stumble, fight back, run away, or get back up depending on how badly they are hurt.
- Leg hit the dummy slows down or drops to the ground and crawls
- Arm hit the limb dangles and the wound bleeds
- Limb severed the arm or leg comes off completely and the stump bleeds
- Dummy reaction stumble, turn and fight back, flee, or recover and stand again

Weapon categories and how to unlock them
SummaryThere are more than twenty weapons spread across three broad groups. You start with basic options and unlock more as your kill count climbs. Grabbing a dummy counts as a weapon action too — you can throw dummies or pull their limbs off by hand.
- Melee Fists, Push, Grab, Bat, Machete
- Ranged Pistol, Shotgun, Sniper, Minigun, Rocket Launcher
- Special Flamethrower, C4
- Grapple moves throw dummies or rip limbs off manually
- Unlock method earn kills to open the next weapon
Surviving zombie mode
StepZombie mode arrived in the Halloween update. Once a dummy turns, it chases, pounces, and bites — and any dummy that gets bitten becomes infected and joins the horde.
- Throw a dummy into the graveyard the dummy rises as a zombie
- Slow, normal, and fast zombie variants all behave differently
- Watch for bites a bitten dummy infects and turns, adding to the horde
- Hit the Horde button this launches a full wave of zombies at once
Deadly map traps and how to use them
TipsThe playground is packed with environmental hazards, each interacting with the ragdoll physics differently.
- Shredder — feed a dummy in to grind it apart
- Train — place a dummy on the track and let the train run it over
- Wrecking ball — knock a dummy with it to send the body flying
- Spike pit — drop a dummy in and the spikes do the rest
- Human cannon — load a dummy and fire it as a projectile
- Seesaw — land on one end to launch a dummy off the other
- 80-stud tower — carry a dummy to the top and throw it off for a brutal fall

Common questions
FAQWhy does a dummy's arm stop working after I hit it?
Damage applied to an arm causes that limb to malfunction — it dangles rather than moves normally and the wound bleeds.
How do I get new weapons?
Killing dummies unlocks new weapons.
Why does the zombie count keep growing even when I am not throwing more dummies into the graveyard?
Any dummy that gets bitten by a zombie becomes infected and transforms into one itself.
