"PlaceRebuilder once said "we're survivors, not savages." Probably explains why we can't take anything from this place for some reason."
―Tsukuyomi-141

Summary

Dead Plaza II is a regular mall plaza with a car park, shops, a restaurant, a cinema, etc. The only problem is that you are blocked in and can't get out.

Nobody said shopping was easy, especially when you lost your mum in the sea of Tickers and got yourself stuck in a traffic jam of zombie hordes.

Background Story

No one knows the boundaries of the SANI virus.

Finding its way into the main cities and downtown quickly, it spread like wildfire into populated areas like towns, harbours, and yes, shopping malls, the stereotypical place for survivors to scavenge for supplies. The tight design of the mall led to hundreds being infected, who remain there to this day, and throughout the past few years, there have been numerous stops by foolish groups in an attempt to seek refuge. Most never made it out, at least never made it out alive.

While you're here, be sure to stop by at the food court and get something for yourself. Killing zombies is hard work. But unless your team is willing to wait for your malicious cooking time and to fight off endless streams of zombies, all you would get from your team is a slap to your face.

Design

This map is a large section of a mall infested with zombies. It features many shops, restaurants, a mini-cinema and an underground car lot with a blocked entrance.

Survivors spawn at what is presumably the entrance of this section of the mall. There are two floors; the bottom floor, accessed via a pair of escalators, contains a cinema and a restaurant, as well as various miscellaneous shops and a food court. There are a flight of stairs in another shop leading to a room that gives players a good look over the map. The room is a dead end, and you must break the glass if you want to exit quickly.

On the top floor, there are more shops and restaurants, as well as some vents, which can be used for camping. Further along, there is a car park whose exit is blocked by large boulders.

Tips

  • The map is enclosed and tight, so close-range weapons such as the Flamethrower and Shotty 12 are recommended.
    • Despite the enclosed nature, the map is quite open. The Tri-Blaster and RPG are suitable if used right.
  • This map contains a lot of glass, so be careful of glass shards.
  • When it comes down the last survivors, you will find yourself running a fair bit.
  • It is also recommended to bring the Rocket Sleigh, Duck Mount or Pumpkin Bot for mobility.
  • Diggers cannot dig on this map.

Trivia

  • Dead Plaza II is a remake of a 2015 map from R2D.
  • Interestingly, this is the only map not to have a cash round reward due to the fact it doesn't have Survival, Campaign or Rescue as compatible gamemodes.
  • This map contains several Easter eggs, including:
    • Store containing plushies of many famous R2DA players.
    • Several posters, including a Disconnected poster poking fun at King Crab II's infamous disconnect bug.
    • Several pictures, like WikiaColors's SPECTRE image and Rockynic's playing cards.
    • scott1333 helped come up with the name Reason 2 Buy Plaza you can see on the wall.
  • It used to be possible to give the plushies the Clockbomb during Hot Potato, but this was later patched.
  • The white banners with yellow text in the restaurant next to the escalators reference an R2DA player.
    • The left banner is meant to be the player's name. However, the kana text is incorrect.
