In-Game Items and Power-Ups

Yet Another Zombie Defense offers a variety of defenses and weapons that you can purchase in-between each night in the Defense game-type. In multiplayer, weapons and barricades are shared among the party, meaning that there is only one copy of a certain weapon available to the party as a whole. It is possible to buy more than one copy of a weapon so that the entire party has access to a particular weapon. There is no friendly fire; this applies to explosions as well as bullets. You can aim using the mouse and fire/use their weapon either by holding the left-mouse button, or by pressing the space bar. You can cycle through your arsenal of weapons by scrolling up or down with the middle mouse button. Reloading happens automatically when the yellow bar in the top left corner of the screen depletes. You can place and remove barricades and mount turrets in-between each night where you are standing. To remove them, you must be standing next to and facing the object you wish to pick up.

Zombies will tend to swarm barricades even if you are not hiding behind them and running around the map instead. Once a barricade is destroyed, it does not respawn and you will need to buy another.

During the Endless Night and Deathmatch game-types, weapons drop as power-ups for you to pick up. In these modes it is only possible to have one weapon at a time, so whatever gun you previously had is substituted. Barricades, turrets, and mines do not appear in these modes.

Power-Ups
Power-ups appear randomly, but with varying frequency. The most common power-ups to drop are Crates and Stacks of Cash. Health Packs and Magnets are less frequent, but still noticeable and not so uncommon that it is difficult to get one in an emergency. Speed Boost is also a fairly regular drop. Invisibility and Invulnerability, however, are the least frequent power-ups to spawn, likely because they are also the most useful when trying to evade or attack the horde. Below are descriptions of each power-up:
