What is Zone mod and promod?

[**DeiRowtag]

Customized mods made for competitive versus server with few mods I don't remember all of them but for example you only have T1 weapons, no kit no throwable.. 1 tank 1 witch on all map

It make the the game harder for survivors so it's more balanced and strategy are a little bit different. If you wanna try that you should but you must know how to play versus

ZoneMod is a mod about zones which is based on a mod about aces that of which was based on a bunch of other mods.

Basically what Tsuey linked ^

To put it simply: Those are configurations for a more balanced versus experience, usually referred to as competitive versus.
There's a lot of changes to the gameplay, such as removing grenades, Tier 2 weapons, a tank and witch spawn on every map, a new scoring system that factors HP, and a lot more.

Each config is different, for example in confogl you'll have 4 medkits per map, but in zonemod medkits are removed completely and every survivor has a set of pills instead.

This is because skilled players keep pushing the boundaries, and what once was a balanced config soon becomes unbalanced because of the skill improvements, so new configs are made to adapt to those higher levels of experience.

Generally, these configs are limited to the known competitive servers, like Error, SirPlease, etc...

And to confuse things even more let's not forget Promod Elite:

Saccie which isn't too known but has a good heart:

And by Christmas if I'm not too pathetic, Versus Ladder Rework which is not a config but rather 100++ new server-side ladders and navigational / attack improvements ranging from the game-changing dramatic:

To the subtle / arguably useless but "hey I'm thorough and servers can opt-out of specific ladders anyway":

A Steam Guide will be made public for its release to help server administrators opt out of ladders they don't want in addition to players seeing the new possibilities. It is a slow process, because ladder cloning is slow and I'm OCD.
