BrainBread 2 is a free-to-play zombie shooter on the Source engine from Reperio Studios, the sequel to the original BrainBread mod. It mixes fast, gory arcade shooting with RPG levels, skills and quests across five game modes: Story, Objective, Arena, Elimination and Deathmatch. There are over 20 weapons, akimbo pairs and a Minigun among them, and a global profile carries your level from server to server.

Five Game Modes.

Quests in Story, co-op objectives, wave survival in Arena, and team or free-for-all fights.

Play as a Zombie.

Get infected in Objective, or fight for the zombie team in Elimination, with a skill tree of its own.
