About the Game

Freelance Dead

In Freelance Dead, you’re a Courier delivering packages through a city that absolutely does not want you alive. Every run throws new routes, hazards, and undead chaos your way — and every successful drop‑off amps up your build until you’re a full‑blown walking apocalypse.

Deliveries at Any Cost

Take on high‑risk delivery jobs across a city overrun by the undead. Each run sends you to random drop‑off points, forcing you to adapt to new routes, hazards, and ambushes. Some packages are so heavy they slow you to a crawl, while others are fragile enough to explode if you take a hit — turning every delivery into its own chaotic challenge.

Shoot, Loot, and Scoot

Blast through waves of zombies with fast, fluid combat. Grab cash and loot from fallen enemies, then sprint to your next delivery before the deadline hits. Upgrade your gear and unleash absurd tools — from high‑powered weapons to swarms of deadly drones.

Grab the Goods

Snag weapons and items that completely change how you play. Every pickup is a new toy — weapons, drones,  and devastating support strikes that turn your Courier into a chaos‑generating machine.

Key Features

  • Fast, fluid combat against relentless undead swarms

  • 15 unlockable Couriers, each with unique abilities and loadout slot configurations

  • 70+ unlockable weapons, items, and meta‑progression upgrades to expand your arsenal

  • Wild build variety — mix weapons, items, and delivery bonuses to craft absurd Courier loadouts

  • Randomized routes, hazards, and rewards that keep every run fresh and unpredictable

“I swear, Couriers must have a death wish. The whole city’s burning down and they’re sprinting past zombies like they’re late for lunch.”
— Rooftop Onlooker
