Summary

On April the First, it is a tradition that we (the staff team) add fake news on the Wikia/Discord to make us laugh at people falling for our jokes. This page is a summary of all the jokes we have done.

April Fools 2018

Katana - Yiris

Interesting enough, it actually became an actual weapon in-game.

"HAAAAAAA HAHAHA HA HAAAAAA WATTTAAA WOOOOOO"
―- Weaboo Samurai

Summary

A really long Japanese sword from the past. It is commonly used by Japanese Samurai as a weapon. The Katana is known for its big grip, and curved, single-edged blade, that can easily cut through many surfaces.

Background Story

After a lot of complaints by Survivors about the lack of Sword Melee weapons, L Brain Sidework decided to search for the ideal Melee weapon. One that is light, durable, and most of all, looks cool. They decided on the Katana just for those reasons.

Tips

  • Use this on hordes of zombies to take them out quickly.
  • Due to the Penetration, this weapon works well on VS Environment.
  • Since the Katana can not trip or stun, you are still vulnerable to zombies while using this weapon, so avoid getting too close.

Trivia

  • This is the second Sword in R2DA.
    • The first being the Xmas Sword.
  • This is the first melee weapon to penetrate through five zombies at once.














Straw Hat - Yiris

"ur quotes are all bad, brb growing new quote"
― Rice Farmer

Summary

A hat made out of straw, typically used by Asian Farmers to keep the sun out of their eyes.

Background Story

How can you have a Katana without a Straw Hat? This strange hat somehow gives you more Strength and Energy to combat the undead.

Tips

  • Bringing two secondaries still gives you the health bonus.
    • Try bringing a heavy Secondary such as the Mini-Uzi or CK Swat to use as your "Primary".
  • You can still burn through stamina fast with this armor equipped, so always bring a booster such as a Candy Cane.

Trivia

  • This is the first Armor to grant different boosts, based on your loadout.
  • This is the second Armor you wear on your head.
    • The first being the Yeti Helmet.

Railgun return - Yiris

"pew pew"
―pew pew

Summary

pew pew

Background Story

An old legend returns from the dead.

The Railgun was merely a myth to survivors, some saying it existed and they have seen it with their own two eyes, others claiming that it never was an actual thing. The truth is, after the abandonment of the Railgun in replacement for the FATAL5, K177 kept the old materials from the Railgun and hoped to someday release a new one, better than ever before.

After K177 finally had the technology to reinvent the Railgun, they started without hesitation. Many survivors have rumored about the return of the Railgun, claiming they have seen parts of Railguns being transported around the world, but for now, the Railgun seems to be only a mystery.

Tips

  • Aiming is crucial when wielding the Railgun since it takes a long time to reload or even shoot again.
  • With a nice headshot, you can instantly kill a Ticker.
  • The Railgun's accuracy is near perfect, aim for brutes from afar.
  • A laser shot can pierce through zombies, so if you ever find zombies conveniently lining up, take the shot!

Trivia

  • FATAL5 will be removed next update, u won't get a refund for ur skins. (Lol really?)
  • First weapon to be removed and then re-added, if you don't count the AK-47 as a readdition for the Kalashnivoka.



King Cheese Celebration - Multiple people, mainly WikiaColors & Minininho02


April Fools 2020

Note: Many of these jokes were actually real things, just that they were leaked during April Fools to give the impressions that these were jokes, therefore meaning that nobody thought that they were real, fooling them twice.

  • The Jacksplot Lucky Day Event was originally intended to be exclusively an April Fools joke, only to then later become a real celebration, with modified meshes, due to the quality of the idea.
  • All the Fake Skins were actually real, they were posted on April Fools so that nobody would think they were actually real.
  • The Easter Event 2020 was actually postponed and renamed to the Summer Event 2020, in a way cancelling the Easter Event 2020.

Jacksplot Lucky Day Event - Minininho02 & Arceus12203

Note that only the Jacksplot boss was an official April Fools, everything else was fan made.

"Fierce Battle"
―Jacksplot 7

Summary

Jacksplot 7 is a slot machine come to life. Nobody really knows why, and during the apocalypse, how things formed is the last of anybody’s worries.

You fight it in its domain, named Jacksplot Imagination.

Background Story

Lost in the void.

Survivors came here just to play poker cards with a gothic slot machine.

Decapitated, the survivors will be if they lose.

Rewards

Tips

  • Beware of people that say Give Commands because they may spawn Eggs or Pumpkin Pies to throw you off.
  • Jetpack (Modern) is a must, you'll be torn to shreds from Ace Cards, Coin-Bots, or Jacksplot 7's attacks.
  • After depleting Jacksplot 7's health, take care to avoid being underneath where he falls, as being hit will send you flying, likely resulting in your death.

Trivia

  • The Jacksplot 7 2017 version can be found here.
    • The 2020 version can be found here.
  • The Jacksplot 7 is inspired on Slot Machine from Star Fox 64 and Chronos XI.
    • The song Fierce Battle Theme from Metal Slug 5 was also used as reference for the boss design and attacks.
  • The "777" on the torso is known as the "lucky number."
  • Chronos XI makes a appearance on the lower part of the torso.
    • It was added because Minininho02 had no idea of what add to the torso.
  • The fists are similar to Chronos XI's fists.
    • On top of the backside of the hand has the roman numerals of "VII," which means "seven".
  • Funnily enough, the current Jacksplot 7 is based on this Jacksplot 7.
  • The Jacksplot 7 was used for the April 2020 Because Minininho02 did not wanted to skip this year without a april boss.

RGBrute - Minininho02

"A big Rainbow guy with an explosive club, sniper-worthy aim, and a large shield that can block out all damage. Yeah, welcome to the apocalypse."
―SorrowfulExistence

Walther's Notes - Restored

This note was found heavily crumpled with missing pieces inside a container. It has since been partially rewritten through conjecture.


At first I thought it was just a bodybuilder who fell victim to the virus. Our group were to leave the forsaken place, and we mocked the thing, relieved that not even that robust man could get us. We thought we were safe, but the tables completely turned when all of us got stunned in a fraction of a second. This one's creative, it carries a massive club with great strength - strength far more than calculated. What comes into question is whether or not he was formerly healthy, or mutated into a goliath. It's terrifying to consider that it might actually be smart enough to maul us with strategy, undoubtedly at the point of even calculating the distance when he uses his very weapon as a projectile.

Summary

The RGBrute is a slow but extremely durable zombie which has the ability to devastate survivors at close range, and disrupt, heavily injure, or kill survivors from afar. A smash attack from it can destroy survivors, or cripple the ones still alive. A thrown club from it can instantly kill anyone it hits if they weren't prepared. It can summon a forcefield that blocks out all damage.

Luckily, it can only throw its club so often, and its forcefield move can easily be its downfall. Using it renders the RGBrute immobile and unable to execute any other actions. Only one can be alive at a time, except in Survival Unlimited and some VIP Servers.

Upon being charged, the RGBrute receives 5,000 health, and its attacks grow even deadlier.

Background Story

Although the RGBrute is rare, survivors who run into it face imminent death as they either run or stand and fight a gargantuan threat. With its crude club, ripped out of the ground, and its hardened, shielded body, this beast is the biggest threat in the apocalypse. Blink, and its club will shatter your bones before you could ever react.

With its extreme power and sickly rainbow colour due to mutation, the RGBrute is something no survivor wants to face. Many survivors fear its existence, knowing one may be the last thing they see.

Tips

Survivors

  • Don't be blinded by the 100$ kill reward, you will probably be interrupted by other infected multiple times if you wish to kill this.
    • As of v1.3.8, you now get an assist reward for assisting a kill of a RGBrute.
  • If you encounter one, it is advised to run away while moving in unpredictable directions.
    • As the RGBrute has the ability to throw its club, running in one direction can easily get you directly hit by a thrown club.
  • There is no "good" weapon to fight against RGBrutes with, as it depends on your preference and playstyle.
    • Whatever the case is, some weapons are outright better than others at killing one.
      • The Minigun or the M249 can easily rip through a RGBrute.
      • A long-range weapon like the Barrett 50 Cal. or the RPG can easily take it down from afar.
  • Though it is not recommended, you can use an Airstrike as the Airstrike's missile blasts can instantly kill one if it is not using is S'hield ability.
  • Use any weapon that can trip/stun to counter a RGBrute. This is recommended to do before shooting a RGBrute, because it can disable the RGBrute's abilities.
    • Ice Gun and Ice Sledge can freeze even if the RGBrute is blocking. Take advantage of this to make the RGBrute run out of energy.
    • This excludes shielding and using relocate.
    • Be careful if you are approaching a RGBrute with an intent to freeze it with the Ice StaffFrost Knuckles or Ice Sledge, as the RGBrute attack with its Smash attack.
  • Kill any Elementals going towards the RGBrute so you can prevent the round from being tougher than it should be.
    • If they are too close, don't try to kill the Elementals unless you are using a Barrett 50 Cal. which will one shot the Elementals. Successfully damaging an Elemental over half of its health, but failing to kill it completely, and your plan to prevent a Charged Brute will backfire.
  • A RGBrute swimming in the water can be your downfall.
    • Be prepared to throw a lot of explosive-type weapons at it, to even attempt to kill it.
  • It's recommended to bring high health Armors, such as the Bulldozer II, before fighting a RGBrute as doing so could save your life if you are hit by a club.
  • Teamwork is a mandatory strategy to take down a RGBrute, especially a Charged Brute.

Zombies

  • Prioritize certain survivors. Some weapons are more of a threat to you than others, like a MinigunP90 or an M249.
    • If you're in a trouble, relocate from the In-Game Store. You can't relocate if you are under attack by survivors.
  • You can use all 3 attacks at once. Just hold LMB, E, and Q in order to do so.
  • All of your attacks stop you completely and immediately. Even in the air.
    • However, while throws will stop you, they will not stop you from falling.
    • Use this to your advantage if a Pipebomb has been thrown or a Clockbomb has been detonated.
      • Be careful to not run out of stamina. It will leave you worse than you started off.
  • Your smash explosion does not reach behind you.
    • Survivors can dodge the smash if they jump behind you, but you can just turn around to counter this.
    • Most maps allow the explosion to go through walls.
  • Mastering the club throw will make you a force to be reckoned with.
    • Try to predict where a survivor is running off to, so you can compensate and hit the survivor.
    • The throw is affected by gravity, so adjust accordingly. If it goes too far, it will have an extreme drop-off.
    • A throw is not perfectly aligned with your cursor. You may need to aim a smidge down at closer ranges.
    • The club spins on a horizontal axis while flying through the air. If it hits anything, it will stop. Work around your environment.
    • If you stand close enough to a wall, you can throw a club through it without the wall interfering.
      • This has been lightly patched, which now causes the club to go up with a bit of forward momentum.
  • The environment can be your friend or your foe at times.
    • In water, you swim surprisingly quickly in it. In return, the water can block out damage.
      • This can help thin out survivors, as you can throw a club to those trying to kill you.
      • Explosive damage can still hurt you, so time your Block ability carefully.
    • Use the environment to get to a good position to kill survivors. If you are not, expect to be torn to shreds.
    • Taking a seat at any point with this mob will result in you remaining stuck forever.
      • Don't worry, as most maps don't have seats within them. You never know, however.
    • You cannot spawn at all in maps that have restrictions. So far, this only applies to S.S. Boliviar.
  • You aren't invincible, so coordinate with other zombies to distract the survivors while you come in.
  • Find an Elemental as soon as you can and work together to transform you into a Charged Brute.
    • As an added bonus, you receive a full recovery from any damage you have taken.
  • Despite your large health pool, don't be too reckless, as a team of well-prepared survivors will make short work of you. Be sure to take cover.
  • Be aware of survivors with the Ice Gun and Ice Sledge as they can freeze you while you're blocking.
    • This may eventually lead to you running out of energy. If this occurs, you can always relocate using the In-Game Store.

Trivia

  • This is the first mob to be converted to custom meshes and the first to have multiple abilities.
  • The Brute appears to be a reincarnation of R2D 2014's Tank - they both can throw objects and have extreme health.
  • It used to be able to jump higher than it does now, but it only had a 1000 HP.
    • Both the jump and the throw length were nerfed in v0.1.8.
  • As of v0.5.8, only one can be alive at a time. Problems were had when this limit was not set in stone.
  • Forcing the game to turn you into a Brute used to cost 350$. As of v0.7.9, the price has been raised to 600$.
  • In v1.1.9, the health rose from 1.25k to 1.75k.
    • The forcefield energy decreased from 30/sec to 20/sec.
  • As of v0.8.8, the face decal has been changed.
  • The thrown club previously did not make an explosion upon landing.
  • PlaceRebuilder used to personally have a 50% spawn rate as a Brute. This was removed in v0.4.9.
  • The concept of the Brute is based off a scrapped mob for R2D 2014 called the Charged Tank.
    • The name came from this competition. It was referred to as the "Beast" when it was initially added.
    • Some ideas before the competition that were put into thought were Behemoth, Goliath, Giant and Ogre.
    • The current icon is an early screenshot of it. Notice the less detailed textures and the saturated tone.
  • The idle animation bears some resemblance to a Skyrim giant's idle animation.
  • The Brute Club can be found here.
  • In v1.3.8, a kill assist reward for assisting a Brute kill was added.
  • In v1.4.4, the Brute health got buffed from 1,750 to 2,500.
    • The forcefield energy also increased from 20/sec to 30/sec.
    • The club speed also changed from 100 studs/sec to 140 studs/sec.
    • Jump energy decreased from 20 to 15.
    • Walkspeed changed from 12 to 14.
    • Brutes were given trip Immunity. However, this was later bugged so that people could trip Brutes.
    • A new Brute walk animation was added.

Replacing Ducky images with King Cheese Ducky - scott1333

"Duckhunt was made for a reason."
―Tsukuyomi-141

Summary

Ducky is the Easter 2019 boss, with a red and white swirl head phones, yellow feathers and a sharp beak. This is nature at its finest, or worst.

You fight Ducky on her farm, aptly named Duckland.

Background Story

When she was a duckling, Ducky's only form of joy came from the happiness she felt when she played her dead father's Guitar. The heart and soul she put into her music brought the attention of many other ducklings and for a few short years, Ducky felt truly happy.

As her fans grew older, their tastes changed and she could do nothing but watch as all her fans drifted away, and her happiness left with them.

She's spent the last few years in her father's Barn where she protects her father's Chest and tends to the crops. Her free time is spent playing the Guitar, with her only company being the wind. The happiness she once felt has slowly crept away from this well tended, but dead land.

One day, she heard the sound of newcomers approaching, and happily reached for her Guitar.

She hopes they'll listen to her music. Even for a little bit.

Rewards

Tips

  • Ducky is quite glitchy while flying, so be prepared for anything.
    • She will use the Duck Bomber attack when she flies, so don't stand below her.
  • Standing in front of Ducky is not recommended, as she can use her Feather Blow, PeckRunning in the 90's or Duck Bomber attacks.
  • If Ducky is trying to use the Peck attack towards you, it's highly recommended to get to high ground or use a Jetpack.
    • Getting to high ground does not always work, as Ducky could break the structure.
    • Ducky will target you until you die. It is best to outrun her, if you can, with stamina boosting items such as the Candy Cane.
    • To avoid this, don't be the nearest person to her, as she will target said person.
    • Eggs are also quite useful to prevent Peck.
    • If you don't have any Eggs, it is best to make her stuck behind the Ammo Stations or the tractor.
  • Throwing Eggs at Ducky will cause her to stop what she is doing and use Shy Block.
    • Use this to your advantage to make her stop attacking you or other players.
    • This only stops the Peck and Guitar attack.
    • The move also happens when her Guitar is destroyed.
  • If you have any, you can use a Cakepack and a Jetpack will help you from falling off the map when Ducky uses Feather Blow.
  • Be careful of killing Ducky at the edge of the map as the Key might get stuck off the map.
  • Destroying the Guitar is priority when Ducky uses this ability.
    • She cannot use the Guitar after it is destroyed.
  • Be aware, when Ducky falls off the map, she respawns in front of the barn.
  • Keep your distance from Ducky to avoid her attacks, as they will lead to your eventual death.

Trivia

  • This page is now marked as the R2DA Wikia's 600th Page!
  • After v1.3.5a, the Guitar health was nerfed from 12,000 to 8,000.
  • In Debug, Ducky only had 120,000 health, didn't drop a Key when killed and only dropped tickets in a concentrated spot on the roast duck.
    • It was also named Duck in Debug and didn't have the headphones you see today.
    • The video for the Debug Duck can be found here.
  • First Easter boss in the R2DA Series.
  • This turns into a roasted duck when it is killed, the only boss to have a death mesh that isn't faded away.
  • The Ducky's Eggbomb models can be found here.
  • Ducky is a female, since laying eggs is a female characteristic.
    • This makes Ducky the first (known) female boss and second female NPC after Sam.
    • Ducky is almost certainly a mallard duck, due to the beak colour and quack most associated to female mallards.

Purple Brute - Minininho02

While not an April Fools Joke, it was mysteriously created and never elaborated on in February.

    • The throw is affected by gravity, so adjust accordingly. If it goes too far, it will have an extreme drop-off.
    • A throw is not perfectly aligned with your cursor. You may need to aim a smidge down at closer ranges.
    • The club spins on a horizontal axis while flying through the air. If it hits anything, it will stop. Work around your environment.
    • If you stand close enough to a wall, you can throw a club through it without the wall interfering.
      • This has been lightly patched, which now causes the club to go up with a bit of forward momentum.
  • The environment can be your friend or your foe at times.
    • In water, you swim surprisingly quickly in it. In return, the water can block out damage.
      • This can help thin out survivors, as you can throw a club to those trying to kill you.
      • Explosive damage can still hurt you, so time your Block ability carefully.
    • Use the environment to get to a good position to kill survivors. If you are not, expect to be torn to shreds.
    • Taking a seat at any point with this mob will result in you remaining stuck forever.
      • Don't worry, as most maps don't have seats within them. You never know, however.
    • You cannot spawn at all in maps that have restrictions. So far, this only applies to S.S. Boliviar.
  • You aren't invincible, so coordinate with other zombies to distract the survivors while you come in.
    • As an added bonus, you receive a full recovery from any damage you have taken.
  • Despite your large health pool, don't be too reckless, as a team of well-prepared survivors will make short work of you. Be sure to take cover.
  • Be aware of survivors with the Ice Gun and Ice Sledge as they can freeze you while you're blocking.
    • This may eventually lead to you running out of energy. If this occurs, you can always relocate using the In-Game Store.

Trivia

  • This is the first mob to be converted to custom meshes and the first to have multiple abilities.
  • The Purple Brute appears to be a reincarnation of R2D 2014's Tank - they both can throw objects and have extreme health.
  • It used to be able to jump higher than it does now, but it only had a 1000 HP.
    • Both the jump and the throw length were nerfed in v0.1.8.
  • As of v0.5.8, only one can be alive at a time. Problems were had when this limit was not set in stone.
  • Forcing the game to turn you into a Purple Brute used to cost 350$. As of v0.7.9, the price has been raised to 600$.

  • As of v0.8.8, the face decal has been changed.
  • The thrown club previously did not make an explosion upon landing.
  • PlaceRebuilder used to personally have a 50% spawn rate as a Purple Brute. This was removed in v0.4.9.
    • The name came from this competition. It was referred to as the "Beast" when it was initially added.
    • Some ideas before the competition that were put into thought were Behemoth, Goliath, Giant and Ogre.
    • The current icon is an early screenshot of it. Notice the less detailed textures and the saturated tone.
  • The idle animation bears some resemblance to a Skyrim giant's idle animation.
  • The Purple Brute Club can be found here.

    • Jump energy decreased from 20 to 15.
    • Walkspeed changed from 12 to 14.
