Trivia[]

• HERC bears several similarities to FEDRA (Federal Disaster Response Agency), a federal organization featured in the PS3 game The Last of Us. It executes similar directives and abandons several quarantine zones in the process, and maintaining orders to experiment with and quarantine the infection. Both appear to be based on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
• The HERC soldiers outside the Union Park Outpost never shoot at the character unlike the ones at Union Island
• HERC runs the Emergency Registry that serves as the character creation screen in The Last Stand: Union City.
• In The Last Stand: Union City, if the player saves and exits the game within the first area of the outpost in Union Park upon first entrance, the two troopers that attack the player will always respawn when resuming the game.
• The two HERC troopers outside the outpost entrance will fire upon any infected, but may die from a single hit if they are attacked. They can also be killed by the player shoving them. If one of the HERC troopers are shoved and the game is saved and quit, returning to the game will make both troopers invincible.
• HERC personnel are the first uninfected enemies in The Last Stand series.
• HERC Troopers will sometimes let out the famous Wilhelm Scream upon death.

The HERC logo can be used in alliance banners, as shown in these 3 banners.

• The HERC logo is featured in several of the posts on ConArtistGames.com pertaining to The Last Stand: Dead Zone.
• The HERC logo is one of the many possible designs for the alliance banner.
• HERC is considered an antagonistic force in both games.

Sinopsis[]

_{Bienvenidos al principio.}

Acaba de producirse una epidemia en todo el mundo, causando que los infectados mueran y luego se conviertan en monstruosos caníbales no muertos. El gobierno de los Estados Unidos Lucha por mantener el orden, pero cada día pierden más terreno ante las hordas en expansión que ahora recorren el campo y las calles de la ciudad.

_{El fin ha llegado; Solo era cuestión de tiempo.}

Usted, el jugador, debe asumir ahora el papel de residente de Union City, una metrópolis ficticia ubicada en la costa este de América del Norte. En medio del caos de un apocalipsis zombi, el jugador debe sobrevivir buscando comida, armas y otros suministros, encontrando casas seguras para refugiarse y luchando contra la población infectada de la ciudad, mientras se encuentra con otros sobrevivientes en el camino que pueden acompañar al jugador y / o dales varias misiones para completar, todo en lugar de cumplir con la trama principal del juego: encontrar a tu cónyuge, quien está perdido en algún lugar de la ciudad.

Locations[]

During the course of the game, you travel to many different locations, listed here, in order of arrival in-game:

Glendale

You start off in the small town of Glendale, having dragged yourself there after the helicopter crash. You have set up a sturdy barricade in the local tool store, allowing you to fend off the zombie attacks for a whole month, but now, you must move on.

• .357 Magnum
• Chainsaw

Whistler’s Grove

You may move onto the sleepy little town called Whistler’s Grove, where there are fewer zombies, but not much of anything else either, where you barricade yourself in the upper floors of a house.

• Compound Bow
• Shotgun

Claysburg

You can go to the city of Claysburg, which has everything in ample supply, including zombies. You barricade yourself inside a church, using the pews as protection.

• Uzi
• UMP45

Aspenwood

Resting in the small farming town of Aspenwood on your way to Jonestown, you set up defenses in a barn on the outskirts of the town.

• Sawn-off Shotgun
• Hunting Rifle

Jonestown

Jonestown is the second largest city in the State, only Union City itself is larger. As a result, the zombie hordes are the biggest you’ve seen, but more of everything else is available as well. Now, you have the option of heading straight to Union City, or taking a detour to…

• M4A1
• Hand Grenades
• AK47

Fort Tran (optional)

Fort Tran, an abandoned military base, and the original destination for your helicopter. It has been overrun by zombies, but you manage to put together a wall of sandbags and prepare for the night. Weapons belonging to the military can still be found here, left behind by the retreating or dead soldiers.

The Last Stand: Union City[]

There are 54 achievements in total. Upon completion of an achievement, the player is given a XP bonus, as well as special item rewards (listed below) when 25%, 50%, and 75% of all achievements are completed.

It is not possible to complete all lockpicking achievements as the Master Locksmith achievement requires successfully picking 20 locks and Open Damn It! achievement requires to break 3 locks, but including Whistler’s Forest there exist only 22 locks in the game.

The achievements are character dependent, meaning that if the player shares a computer with others or plays with multiple characters, achievements that are unlocked will only be unlocked for the currently played character and not any other characters. This also means that achievements will be lost once a new game is overwritten over the old one.

SPOILER ALERT!!!

The Last Stand

Jack in action. (TLS1)

In The Last Stand, Jack attempts to ride out the zombie infestation, having built a heavily fortified shelter and stocked it with supplies.
At night, he defends the outer barricade from zombies, while during the day he repairs the barricade and searches for supplies and other survivors. It is unclear when, or if, he sleeps.

Jack after a night of defending the barricade. (TLS1)

While Jack remains focused, at times he also seems to not entirely comprehend his situation — he cracks jokes, and treats the nightly assaults with some levity. However, as supplies run low, the assaults worsen, and Jack becomes responsible for more people, his situation is thrown into sharp relief and his writings become noticeably more distressed. He even goes so far as to criticize his choice in location, lamenting his decision to stay away from the cities.

With no contact from the outside world and no usable resources left, his group makes the decision to move on. They look to him to provide a direction, but he has no idea where to take them. His delays nearly cost the group their lives — until they are rescued at the end of the 20th night by a passing military helicopter.

The Last Stand 2

Jack with a G17 pistol. (TLS2)

The Last Stand 2 picks up immediately after the military helicopter’s timely rescue of Jack and his group. He is breathing a sigh of relief when disaster strikes — one of his group is infected. It is implied that the infection takes over and the survivor-turned-zombie causes the helicopter to crash.

A month passes. Jack, the only person to come out of the crash alive, has started over in the nearby town of Glendale and builds a new barricade inside the local tool shop. He hears a radio broadcast detailing a plan to seal off the mainland in 40 days, with the warning that any remaining survivors must reach Union City before then to be evacuated.

Jack in Claysburg. (TLS2)

With that in mind, he starts over — repairing barricades, recruiting survivors, searching for supplies and weapons, etc., but he now focuses on constantly moving. Motivated by the Union City deadline, and perhaps by the memories of the near disaster in The Last Stand, Jack only stays in a given place long enough to find a few recruits, maybe a weapon or two, and enough supplies to move to the next town. In this fashion he and a few companions traverse most of the state — Glendale, Whistler’s Grove, Claysburg, Aspenwood, Jonestown and Fort Tran — before finally arriving at Union City.

His diary entries are particularly interesting due to their sparsity; instead of daily reports like in The Last Stand, there are only entries whenever he visits a new town, and there is almost no levity at all. This indicates focus and determination, most likely due to his desperation and new feelings of responsibility for those under his protection. He seems to have become hardened since the events of The Last Stand, and it is likely that it will be very difficult for him to adjust should he return to civilized society, somewhat akin to post-traumatic stress disorder.

The Last Stand: Union City

Jack with his fellow survivors on the Union Island Bridge.(TLS:UC)

In The Last Stand: Union City, Jack is located in the Docks Safehouse. He leads a band of survivors (Jane, Shawn and Dana), which he gathered during his journey to Union City.

When the player finds him, he and his group are trying to get onto a boat out of the mainland, however, HERC has destroyed most of the boats to prevent the spread of the infection. The only boats left are on Union Island, protected by a concrete wall erected by HERC.

Jack gives a in which the player must find C4 explosives in an overrun military base in Waterside to blow through the wall. Once the C4 is found, Jack’s group blows a hole in the wall, which has the unintended result of allowing masses of zombies to pour through after them. Fleeing with their spouse, the player must evade the zombies whilst fighting through the HERC troopers to get to a boat.

After reaching a pier, the player again meets Jack, this time only accompanied by Dana. Jack escorts the player to a motorboat which the player and their spouse hastily board and leave, with him stating that they would find another way out. After this, nothing is known of Jack’s fate. It’s likely that either he and his group escaped on another boat or that they were overrun by the zombies.

END SPOILER ALERT!!!

Storyline[]

Welcome to the Beginning.

A worldwide Zombie epidemic has occurred, causing infected to die and rise again as monstrous undead cannibals. The government is struggling to keep order, as everyday they lose more ground to the undead cannibal hordes roaming the streets.

You, the player, must take on a role as a resident of Union CIty, a metropolis located on the east coast of North America. Amidst the chaos of a zombie apocalypse, you must survive by Scavenging for Food, Weapons and Medical Supplies, and finding Safehouses to shelter in, while fighting off the zombie hordes, and meeting other survivors who will accompany you or give you Quests, all in lieu of fulfilling the game’s main storyline, to find your Spouse, who is lost somewhere in the city.

Synopsis 

SPOILERS*

It begins when the player, driving home, collides with a zombie, killing it but causes the car to crash. As the player exits, they see damaged and abandoned cars scattered all around. The player then helps Ed, a survivor, cut through a Military fence to get into Brookvale, the player’s hometown. 

When they reach 868 Brookvale Heights, the player’s apartment, they find a Note written by their Spouse saying they have gone to the Hospital in Canal Park. However, when they get there, they find that the spouse has been taken to the Stadium by the Military, along with other survivors. The player goes to the Stadium, through Newtown and Uptown.

It is revealed at the stadium that the spouse has been ‘Relocated’. Barry, another survivor, helps the player to find the Spouse at the Uptown HERC Outpost, where HERC, a government organization, have taken the spouse to do experiments on them. After saving the Spouse, they escape to the Docks, where they meet Jack, (from TLS1 and TLS2). Jack tells them there is only one boat left, the others had been destroyed by HERC. However, a huge concrete wall blocks it. Jack sends the player to the Military Base in Waterside, to find explosives. When this is found, the wall is blown up, and the player escapes through.

The player must travel across Union Bridge, however they are pursued by massive hordes of zombies. They reach a safe spot, where Jack is there, along with one other survivor, Dana. The player and spouse escape to the boat, and in the final cutscene, the boat stalls, and a growling sound is heard.

The Last Stand: Dead Zone[]

HERC declared Union City a Dead Zone and pulled out along with the military several months before the events of the game, leaving many of their agents behind in the process. Their actions before the beginning of TLS:UC are also covered in the TLS:DZ Story Timeline that plays on the loading screens, revealing them to have fired upon and massacred civilians while attempting to contain the outbreak.

They also left behind some of their equipment, which can be scavenged by survivors. It’s some of the best equipment available, but it is also incredibly rare.

Sealed HERC Supply Boxes have also been left behind and can be unsealed using special keycards. In addition, special Tactical Response Supply Boxes, containing custom weapons unique to HERC (HERC-1 Baton, HERC-1 Combat Knife, HERC-2 SMG, HERC-24A1, HERC-A1 Rifle, HERC-PDW, HERC-S3) can be found as well, and unsealed using the same method. Both variants contain equipment and supplies that can be extremely useful for anyone who can find and open them.

HERC begun ordering survivors still in the Dead Zone to execute , with rewards for those who comply. More recently, HERC tried to reestablish a base on Union Island, but some parts of it were overrun by the infected, providing an opening for survivors to raid their compound. Both infected and uninfected HERC personnel are seen in this area. Notably, customized bows and crossbows have been found in HERC bases, alongside conventional firearms and HERC Mines.

Infected HERC personnel are also seen for the first time:

• can be seen in Level 6+ hordes and are identical in terms of stats to regular zombies. They are distinguished by their bright orange Hazmat suits and can be Shambling or Running zombies.
• begin appearing in Level 18+ hordes. They are a subtype of Armored zombies and are the second-most durable zombie type, outclassed only by Riot zombies. They are distinguished by their forest-green body armor and face masks.
• appear in Level 51+ hordes. They are a subtype of Riot zombies. They share the same model as Riot zombies, albeit in forest-green instead of blue. Notably, unlike normal Riot zombies, at least some Infected HERC Heavy soldiers can run.

Uninfected HERC personnel are only present during the Raid on Union Island:

• Regular soldiers armed with various automatic weapons, including AK-105s, RPK-12s and MP7s.
• Shotgunners armed with HERC-S3s.
• Snipers armed with VS-121s or MSR-82s.
• Heavy soldiers with extra armor and armed with Miniguns or Chainsaw Shotguns.
