How to add zombies to GTA Online Survival Jobs

Players have been wondering how to add zombies to GTA Online Survival Jobs ever since the Ludendorff Cemetery Survival mode debuted in early October 2024. While the official Rockstar Games-created Job lets you take on waves of the undead in North Yankton, you can now create your own Survival Jobs in the multiplayer, featuring hordes of zombies using the Survival Creator tool.

The steps for this are straightforward and shouldn't trouble those inexperienced with this feature. With that said, let's look at how to add zombies to GTA Online Survival Jobs.


How to add zombies to GTA Online Survival Jobs: A step-by-step guide

The first step towards adding GTA 5 zombies to your custom Survival Jobs is accessing the Survival Creator tool. To do so, open the multiplayer's Pause Menu and follow these instructions:

  • Go to the tab labeled ONLINE.
  • Scroll down and select Creator.
  • Click the button for OK (prompted in the bottom right corner).
  • Scroll down and select Create a Survival in the Creator menu.
  • Select Survival.

You will now have access to the Survival Creator. It will include various options in its menu, such as Survival Details, Survival Configuration, Placement, and Radio.

You can customize different parameters of your Survival Job, including Title, Time of Day, Weather, Play Area Bounds, and Player Spawn Points. To add zombies, like in the new official mode included with the GTA Online Halloween 2024 update, follow the steps in the next section.

If you want zombies in all stages of a wave, you must set the Squad and Heavy Preset Types to Zombie Shambler and/or Runner for all Stages – Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary – in the Squad Presets menu.

Additionally, apply these settings to all waves where you want zombies in your custom GTA Online Survival Job.
