Neighborhood Watch-Horde of Hell-A

Neighborhood Watch brings a brand-spanking heart-pounding cooperative horde mode to the streets of Hell-A. In this mode, you will step into the shoes of the Bobcats sorority, who you meet as part of a side quest in the Venice Canals area of the game.

Each day and night you complete missions and collect supplies until on the fifth and final night when the horde attacks at it’s full strength. As you play through you can unlock new abilities to help the Bobcats live to tell the tale. This part of the patch will also come with new weapons, new skins, a brand-new location and even new mechanics for the game.
