Bodycam Zombie Trenches: The New V0.9 Zombie Mode

Zombie Trenches is a brand-new game mode coming to Bodycam in the v0.9 "The Dead & Damned" update, releasing Friday, November 13, 2026. It is the headline feature of the update: a dedicated zombie mode built on top of the Trenches map, the burnt-forest trench-warfare environment currently used for PvP matches.

This page compiles everything officially confirmed about the mode. Wave counts, objectives, and difficulty settings have not been announced yet — the first official look is the Developer Diary (Devlog 1/2) published on Steam and YouTube on November 6, 2026. We will update this page once the mode is live and those details are confirmed.

What Is Officially Confirmed

From the developer's official announcement (Steam news, October 30, 2026):

• It is a brand-new mode, not a re-skin: "Zombie Trenches is a brand new game mode built on the Trenches map, and we can't wait for you to try it."
• It launches as part of v0.9 on November 13, 2026.
• It is the update's featured content — the announcement leads with it, ahead of the returning Village and Asylum zombie maps.

Why the Trenches Map Fits a Zombie Mode

The Trenches environment is a natural host for a horde-style PvE mode, based on how the map plays in PvP:

• Narrow trench networks force close-quarters engagements — exactly the range at which zombie hordes become dangerous.
• Open no-man's-land crossings create natural high-tension moments where movement and covering fire matter.
• The burned-out forest provides fragmented cover and broken sightlines, useful for defending against waves that attack from multiple directions.
• Darkness, mud, and smoke effects amplify the bodycam perspective's limited peripheral vision — a horror-friendly combination.

These traits describe the existing map; how the zombie mode modifies it (lighting, spawns, objectives) has not been shown yet.

How It Relates to the Returning Zombie Maps

Zombie Trenches joins the returning Village and Asylum zombie maps rather than replacing them. The v0.9 update applies spawn-point and zombie-behavior fixes to Village and Asylum; whether those same behavior changes carry into Zombie Trenches has not been specified. Expect Zombie Trenches to be the "new content" option and Village/Asylum to be the classic rotations.

What to Watch Before Launch

The official Developer Diary (Devlog 1/2) (November 6, 2026) is the only gameplay footage released so far. On launch day, the Steam patch notes should confirm:

• Wave/round structure and any objective system
• Solo and co-op support details
• Loadout and attachment rules inside the mode
• Difficulty options, if any

Once the mode is playable, this page will be expanded with first-hand strategy: starting loadouts, best defensive positions on the trench lines, and wave-by-wave survival tips.
