About Zombie Training Simulator
Zombie Training Simulator (ZTS) is a VR‑only, single‑player experience that positions itself as the most advanced preparation tool for a zombie apocalypse. Developed by Acceleroto, Inc., it lets players handle real‑world weapons, learn zombie‑weaknesses, and test accuracy in speed challenges while tracking progress on a global leaderboard.
The game emphasizes realistic tactics, offering pistols, shotguns and machine guns, and explores zombie reactions to meat, sound and explosives. With tracked controller support, family sharing, and Steam leaderboards, ZTS aims to turn practice into confidence for the imagined outbreak.
01 / THE GUIDE
Weapons
ZTS provides three weapon categories: pistols, shotguns and machine guns. Each is presented as a real‑world firearm for training purposes, allowing players to experience their handling in VR.
The game encourages learning the “zombie stopping power” of each weapon, implying that different firearms have distinct effects on zombie targets. This variety supports practice across short‑range and longer‑range engagements.
- Compare the recoil feel of pistols versus shotguns to gauge comfort before speed tests.
- Observe how quickly zombies fall with each weapon to decide personal preference.
02 / THE GUIDE
Zombie Behaviors
The simulator notes that zombies are attracted to fresh meat, sound and explosives. These cues can be used strategically during training scenarios.
Understanding these preferences helps players design tactics, such as luring zombies with noise or using explosives to control crowds, reinforcing the training focus on realistic survival methods.
- Test sound sources in a safe area to see how quickly zombies respond.
- Use meat as a lure in controlled drills to practice crowd manipulation.

Game Modes
ZTS includes a speed test mode for accuracy practice and a survival mode where zombie hordes increase over time. Both modes are designed for solo play.
Survival mode’s escalating difficulty offers a way to gauge endurance, while speed tests focus on precision, giving players distinct metrics to improve upon.
- Start speed tests with pistols before moving to heavier weapons.
- In survival mode, note the point at which hordes become overwhelming.

VR & Controller Support
The title is VR‑only and supports tracked controllers, allowing motion‑based interaction with weapons and environments. This hardware focus aims to increase immersion during training.
Tracked controller support means player movements are reflected in‑game, providing feedback that mirrors real‑world handling of firearms, which is central to the simulator’s training premise.
- Ensure your tracked controllers are calibrated before each session.
- Take short breaks to avoid fatigue from continuous VR motion.

Leaderboards & Family Sharing
ZTS integrates a global Steam leaderboard that displays player progress worldwide, fostering competition among trainees. The system displays your progress and capabilities to players around the world.
Family Sharing is supported, allowing multiple accounts on the same hardware to access the game, which can encourage shared practice within households.
- Check the leaderboard after each mode to monitor improvement.
- Invite family members to compare scores and share tactics.
