* ResourceReimbursement: If a player has George Coleman as their leader, whenever they would play an item card (ranging from gasoline to single-use weapons) into the waste pile, they have a 1 in 6 chance to gain its effect but keep it in their hand -- potentially a major benefit in ResourcesManagementGameplay.

[[folder:Zombies]]
The only antagonist of the base game and the most common even in the sequel, zombies are reanimated dead that hunt to feed and eat the living. The expansion has experimental zombies in the Raxxon building that are far more dangerous.
----
* AlwaysMale: Attempts to use steroids on the virus caused female subjects to either die or be normal zombies. But male zombies became tanks.
* BodyHorror: Most of the zombies, to be sure, given they are pustule covered reanimated dead. But the hunters have tails, paws, and claws, the screamers have distended jaws, the frostwalkers have ice spikes sticking out of them, and the spewers are bloated balls of gas that do nothing but vomit.
* DeathByDespair: The entire point of the screamers, especially if the player fails to kill them. According to the backstory, one of the scientists killed herself after three days of listening to them.
* DeathOfAChild: The siren is actually a reanimated child.
* KillItWithFire: The reaper and collector are discussed to be killed this way in their cards.
* KillItWithIce: The frostwalkers were created when Raxxon attempted to use freezing to kill the virus. But the virus mutated and now the frostwalkers are capable of harnessing cold temperatures capable of frostbite.
* HealingFactor: The researchers tried to combat the virus by bolstering the human body to have one of these. It just created the Hydra, which had two heads, and would regenerate both of those.
* HalfHumanHybrid: The hunters are half-man, half wolf, with paws, claws, fangs, and tails.
* LawyerFriendlyCameo: Between the taunts, sweater, fedora, and claw hand, the claw zombie is a rather obvious one to [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]]. He even states there is no dream to wake from when he dies.
* ItCanThink: The claw zombies can speak and taunt their prey, and the reaper moves far too swiftly and ably to be a simple creature. Subverted with the siren, as it was believed to be intelligent, but further studies showcased it is little more than a predator.
* OneHitKill: Zombies, even elite zombies, do not have hit points. One successful hit is all it takes to kill them. Both the Reaper and the Tank zombies can issue this to a survivor (while it is harder to kill a Reaper and easier for her to gain kills, the Tank will always kill, as he will cause TakingYouWithMe).
* StickyFingers: The collector zombies take random things (even from the player, should they fail to kill the zombie).
* TyphoidMary: The carrier, Patient 1, looks like a normal human woman, albeit one with red eyes. She does not know, or might not even possess the capability to know, that she is infected, and can cause an outbreak at the colony.
