Zombies in Battlefield 6? Yes—thanks to the Portal, complete with pack-a-punch and ray guns

Whenever Portal was announced as the sole “server browser” option in BF6, I was skeptical. Now, however, witnessing what players are making, I’m quite impressed. And, on that topic, a player has now made literal CoD zombies in BF6, and it even has pack-a-punch machines.

YouTuber Phiality has shared what they’ve managed to create using Portal’s dev kit in Battlefield 6: a full-blown Zombies mode, complete with ray guns (or, rather, an AOE-damage revolver) and pack-a-punch machines. Taking obvious inspiration from the Call of Duty phenomenon of the same name, Phiality has taken Portal to the extreme, making a new custom mode while also expanding maps and adding new weapons to spice things up.

Now, the mode doesn’t have actual zombies, at least not yet. Instead, they’re bots who walk slowly or run unarmed towards the player, stopping only at chokepoints that would usually be windows or barricades in Call of Duty. You can mow them down using whatever gun you like, and Phiality has made sure you’ve got more than a few options to choose from, adding extra weapons on top of the game’s base arsenal.

The aesthetics are far removed from horror, too, likely due to limitations to Portal, but it’s the gameplay that matters.

The mode, much like its inspiration, unfolds in a sequence of waves or rounds, with the Zombies becoming more relentless and dangerous as time goes by. Killing them grants points, which can be used to upgrade weapons or access new parts of maps.

And, because Portal is a fully streamlined experience, you can easily access this mode by going over to your Experience Browser and using the code “2z1e” to immediately hop on. No long and arduous downloads should be necessary to get into the mode, because Portal is just good like that.

Portal is, as the name implies, is a door to a world of community-made servers and experiences in BF6, which range from customized official modes with slight tweaks to wholly new modes like the one above. It’s a great way to provide players with something that isn’t just the regular queue, but not a replacement for a true, dedicated server browser that is still missing from the game.
