The first few hours after the nuke saw Operation Rapid Sunder unfold, with players transformed into zombies upon death . Then, Verdansk was completely unavailable, leaving only the Rebirth Island map , itself updated. It is now in night mode, 15 minutes after the explosion in Verdansk, and offers a new Control Center in place of the old construction site.
