This week on Awful Squad, the gang tackled PUBG’s zombie mode with a fantastical rule set. Each player was assigned a character class:
- Griffin McElroy — Wizard: Can use pistols, sniper rifles and throwables. Cannot equip armor. Must pick up and distribute any healing or support items to the rest of the team. Will not share a vehicle with a Barbarian.
- Simone de Rochefort — Barbarian: Can use shotguns, pistols and melee weapons. Can equip armor. Will not share a vehicle with a Wizard.
- Ross Miller — Rogue: Can use crossbows, pistols and melee weapons. Cannot go into churches or other sacred places. Cannot share items.
- Travis McElroy — Paladin: Can use rifles, pistols and melee weapons. Can equip armor. Can freely use healing items, and must immediately heal downed teammates. Will not share a vehicle with the Rogue.
- Brian Gilbert — Time Bard: Can use literally anything, but must communicate in rhyme. If they fail to do so, they must drop a weapon.
This episode also features:
- Russ Frushtick
