Unused Text

This is a sub-page of SAS: Zombie Assault 4 (Android, Windows).

Alternative Armor Augment names#

Augment names were meant to change as player upgrades them to levels 5 and 9, respectively. However, only leftover text was left, and it is impossible to see them in game.

Unused damage type#

Necro

"Necro" is an unused damage type, which functions the same as Chemical one. The only usage it had is explosions (due to textures named explosion_necro which are stored in in_game_effects.png), but none of the enemies and weapons use them, hence rendering both the textures and the text itself unused.

Unused weapon types#

PAW
Turret

PAW is an unused weapon type which belonged to HIKS R40, which got scrapped way before game release. Turret weapon type met the same fate as well, but it was used for turrets instead.

Old weapon descriptions#

Some weapons had different weapon descriptions before release (stored in weapon_data.json):

Weapon name	Old description	New description

Stripper	molecular acid	The MAR-9 shotgun round delivers 3 destructive pellets to targets with often horrifying results.
Poison Claw	molecular acid	On impact, Rancor's MAR-3 Molecular acid round activates and starts to react furiously and relentlessly with the area around it, causing horrific and irreversible damage to most substances.
Mixmaster	seeking plasma bolts (monsters ghosts ufo book)	A dangerous and terrifying weapon. Mixmaster generates a twin-stream of high energy plasma bolts. This weapon makes anyone who can pull a trigger into a killing machine.
1887 Shockfield	looks like an 1881	Modelled after the 19th century Model 1887 shotgun. Mechanical lever action is used to replicate the 'feel' of the original, and prime the energy charge ready for an explosive release of 10 plasma bolts from the power cell.
Hard Thorn	MEP flechettes	Each round of the fully automatic Hard Thorn contains 6 razor flechettes, each as deadly as a pistol round. Designed to shred and cause mass hemorrhaging to soft targets.
Gebirgskanone	Shoulder mounted rapid fire hydra rocket launcher	Combining the suppressive firepower of a machine gun with the destruction of a rocket launcher turns the wielder of the Gebirgskanone into a one man Apache helicopter.

T-101 Feldhaubitz	Huge, heavy two handed cannon, similar shape to a minigun	The Feldhaubitz is the ultimate in heavy infantry oppression. This rocket launcher fires enormous 65mm shells which cause massive destruction on impact.
