Overview[]
Outpost takes place at a snowy base located on Meighan Island in Northern Canada, with the entire island being under the control of Group 492, a research organization who has ties with Unit 14. The map is medium sized, with occasional close-quarter-combat as player traverses the interiors of the buildings. Like with the previous saga, the Mystery Box, Perk-a-Colas and the Pack-a-Punch Machine return on this map.
Story[]
Several months following the events of Purge, Roach, O'Ryan, Chris and TJ form their own organization called Umbra Ops, a private military company that operates around the globe. In November of 2035, Umbra Ops receives a distress signal from a research base in Northern Canada, saying that are being overrun by the zombies. Umbra Ops ask to identify the caller, who revealed themselves to be Doctor Jonathan Smith, leader of Group 492, a research organization with ties to the notorious Unit 14 before they went mad. Roach, knowing they need information of Unit 14, says they will attempt a search and rescue, telling Smith to stay put.
In the next three hours, Umbra Ops arrive at the site of the Group 492 outpost near the peak of a mountain on Meighan Island, located remotely in Northern Canada. They discover the entire facility has been overrun by the zombies, with hopes of there being survivors being very slim. However, they hear Smith taking to the group over the intercom, saying he doesn't have enough time before they arrive. The team then begins their search and rescue for Smith as they begin to engage the undead hordes.
During their searches, they discover several audio logs between Smith and the mysterious leader of Unit 14, with Smith questioning the Unit 14 leader if they were responsible for the destruction of every nuclear reactor around the world. The Unit 14 leader merely chuckles, saying that if they knew what was best for them, they'd better not disclose any information regarding their joint operations in the development of weapons of mass destruction. Smith questions on why he would, before hearing a zombie in the background. The leader of Unit 14 then laughs, telling Smith he will see him in hell as the audio log cuts out.
After a long search, the group discovers Smith in his office, where he was holding a Desert Eagle and aiming towards the door. After telling Smith to stand down, Smith then holsters his weapon, saying he knew they'd find him. Roach then calls in an extraction as they then hold down their marked LZ. After holding out against the zombie hordes, their extraction arrives, where the team, including Smith are then extracted from the site.
Following the operation, Roach questions Smith on Group 492's involvement with the work of Unit 14. Smith explained that Unit 14 discovered their operations thanks to a Unit 14 mole within the research organization, forcing them to work with them after seeing their potential. While initially refusing, Unit 14 captured one of Group 492's best scientists and locked him away in a gulag, saying he will die if they refuse to comply. After complying, Unit 14 forced Group 492 to create dirty bombs of Element X, eventually shipping them out around the world. Roach asks where the gulag is located, with Smith saying it was on an island just off the coast of India. However, the island was heavily guarded, saying that it would be near impossible to invade without a distraction. Smith then reveals the location of a Unit 14 oil rig located near the base, saying by attacking the platform would create a perfect diversion, causing Unit 14 to send forces to investigate. Roach then tells the others to ready up, saying they're heading for the platform.
