5. Iron Curtain

Player tries to shoot zombie from the ground as a last ditch effort to survive.

Another unique server, Iron Curtain has an interesting way of balancing loot hoarding and base mechanics.

All players on the server are given tents based on their group size. The main objective is to protect this tent.
Bases are indestructible except for on Saturdays so players can make time to protect their loot.
Hidden storage tents are fair game.
Items spawn normally on the map thanks to the server’s unique storage system.
