Bodycam Update 0.9 Brings Back Zombies with New Maps and Weapons

Reissad Studio is bringing the undead back to Bodycam with THE DEAD & DAMNED, according to the dev's official announcement of an upcoming version 0.9 update scheduled for November 13, 2026. Choosing Friday the 13th as its release date, the developers are giving players another reason to return to the game's zombie experience while introducing several multiplayer improvements.

Although this is a smaller interim update rather than a major expansion, it delivers fresh content alongside changes requested by the community. Bodycam has already demonstrated its ability to attract players with major content updates, reaching a new Steam record of 38,958 concurrent players in September 2026 following the release of Locked & Loaded.

Zombie Trenches: A Brand-New Zombies Mode

The biggest addition is Zombie Trenches, a brand-new mode set in the Trenches map. Players will face waves of undead enemies in a new environment, expanding the game's cooperative survival experience. The mode supports up to four players, making it an interesting option for groups looking for a different challenge beyond traditional PvP matches.

Village & Asylum Return to Zombies, Reworked

Two familiar locations, Village and Asylum, are also returning to the zombie rotation. Both maps have received improvements based on community feedback, particularly concerning zombie spawning and enemy behaviour. Weapon boxes are also getting adjustments, with randomly generated attachments offering more variety during matches.

New in the Loadout: Crossbow and TEC-9

THE DEAD & DAMNED introduces two additional weapons. The Crossbow, previously obtainable through a secret in Village, will become a selectable loadout option on PvP maps. Meanwhile, the TEC-9 machine pistol joins the arsenal as a new secondary weapon, giving players another option for close-range encounters.

Anti-Cheat, Public Pool Rework & Lobby Room

The update introduces Easy Anti-Cheat to help tackle cheating in multiplayer. Public Pool is also receiving a visual overhaul and layout improvements. Outside combat, players can enjoy a new lobby room featuring dedicated FPV drone and RC car racing circuits, alongside improved RC car handling.

No Party System in 0.9 — What That Means

Unfortunately, the long-awaited party system will not arrive with version 0.9. Reissad Studio is still rebuilding its multiplayer infrastructure, delaying proper player grouping once again. For now, Quick Play and Server Browser remain solo-queue experiences, although players can still create custom games to play with friends.

Overall, THE DEAD & DAMNED looks like a welcome refresh for Bodycam, particularly for fans of its zombie mode. While the missing party system remains disappointing, the new content, returning maps, and multiplayer improvements provide several reasons to revisit the game. Check out our comparison website to find Bodycam Steam keys at the best prices and stay up to date with the latest Bodycam update and zombie content.
