Carrier

Carrier moves Exo Zombies to sea: an Atlas super-carrier in the Pacific, the evening after Burger Town, with the crew re-captured and Sentinel storming the deck. Bruce Campbell’s Captain Lennox takes Oz’s slot as the playable fourth — because Oz, executed a map ago, reanimates in the intro with glowing eyes and spends the map as its looming shadow.

The ship

The team spawns split, Verrückt-style, between the hangar and the gun deck, reunited by teleporters. The ship fights back with sharks in the moon pool, a rideable trash-eating machine called Chompy, disposal machines that pay you for old gear — and human enemies: Atlas saboteurs planting gas bombs that must be defused or answered by a Goliath the following round.

Special enemies

The Blinkers debut — blue-suited zombies that teleport mid-charge — and the trick spreads to the dogs and Goliaths as the rounds climb. The LZ-52 Limbo joins the printer pool, and the new Exo Stockpile upgrade rounds out the suit.

The quest: “Flotsam & Jetsam”

The escape plan involves building a fishing pole from the weapon-disposal machine and, eventually, scuttling the carrier — the crew rowing away in an emergency pod as the ship goes down. Zombie Oz watches them leave from the deck. The Trident Retreat is next, and it is his.
