Hahn Bauer | Guts & Blackpowder

Hahn Bauer: A 5'6 29 year old prussian with fair skin and dark-brown generic hair with a Walrus mustache and having a right black-eye, having dark-blue irises with black pupils, speaking a slightly loud, raspy Niederpreußisch accent, the rasp due to shouting constantly in battle as his brows were furrowed, eyes half-lidded and slightly narrowed with faint bags, and his mouth a narrow trapezoidial sneer that's in a slightly upward arc, left side of the lip somewhat closed but the right side showing the narrow sneer with slightly grinding teeth

Clothing & Uniforms

The Coatee (Kollet): The official regulation uniform issued just before the campaign was the standard dark blue, double-breasted Prussian Kollet. As part of the newly annexed Westphalian province, the regiment was officially assigned pink facings on the collar and cuffs. Shoulder Straps: Under the new line regulations, the 18th Regiment transitioned to yellow shoulder straps, though older white and red straps from their parent reserve units remained in use, and he currently has the red straps. Headgear: The primary headpiece was the standard Prussian felt shako. On campaign, this was entirely enclosed in a black oilskin cover, completely hiding any brass fittings or national cockades. Trousers & Gaiters: Privates wore loose white linen trousers or gray woolen trousers over standard black canvas leg gaiters. He wears white linen trousers.

Equipment & Accoutrements

Crossbelts: Made of heavy white leather, worn diagonally over the shoulders to support ammunition pouches and sidearms. Cartridge Box: A large, black leather pouch worn over the left shoulder, sitting on the right hip, designed to carry up to 60 rounds of ammunition. Knapsack (Tornister): Standard calfskin or cheaper canvas knapsacks held the soldier's personal effects. A gray greatcoat or blanket was tightly rolled and strapped horseshoe-style over the top and sides of the pack. Haversack & Canteen: A simple white or off-white canvas breadbag (Brotbeutel) hung on the left hip alongside a small wooden or tin water canteen.

Weapons

The Firearm: The regiment was primarily armed with the 0.71 caliber Prussian Model 1809 flintlock musket or British-supplied muzzleloaders. It was fitted with a triangular steel socket bayonet. Sidearms: Musketeers and Fusiliers carried a short infantry sidearm saber (Sabre-briquet) housed in a black leather scabbard on the left hip.

The map

La ferme d'En-Haut (translating to "The Farm Above" and often referred to as "Ligny") is a prominent Endless Mode map in the Roblox Napoleonic zombie survival game, Guts & Blackpowder.

Map Setting & Atmosphere

The Location: It is a run-down, atmospheric farmhouse compound situated on the side of a road next to a river, set in Ligny, Belgium. Chronology & Lore: Chronologically taking place in 1815 (just before the events of La Haye Sainte), a combined force of the French Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia makes a desperate last stand against the undead horde. Horror Vibe: The map features a gloomy, eerie atmosphere, with players noting it provides a genuine horror vibe compared to other locations.

Layout & Features

The Compound: The layout features two distinct entry points that zombies use to breach the defenses. Notable areas include a barn and a two-story house with a pantry. Cannons: La ferme d'En-Haut is uniquely distinct for being one of the rare Endless Mode maps to feature functional defensive cannons for players to fight off dense hordes. One is a 24-pounder on the second floor of a small building that has a large gaping hole facing the field, granting it use and is loaded with Canister or Grape shots. A second 24-pounder is all the way at the opposite end of the farmhouse on an elevated wooden platform peeking just over a wall. French Logbook: Hidden in the pantry of the two-story house is a handwritten logbook written entirely in French. When translated, it details the dwindling rations and grim fate of the garrison ("Three bags of flour, forty bottles of juice. Five died yesterday. Down to twenty men...").

Strategy

Endless Wave Survival: Due to being Endless, there is no escape objective. Men must hold out against increasingly difficult waves of Shamblers, Runners, Bombers, and Igniters until the entire squad dies. Defensive Items: Due to the aggressive tight-knit spawning of fast zombies, using Tar Bottles to control choking points and halt fast-moving Runners and explosive Bombers is a popular high-wave strategy.

ZOMBIES:

In the Napoleonic-era Roblox horror game Guts & Blackpowder, the undead horde (known as The Blight) consists of several specialized zombie classes. Each features distinct visual cues, sound effects, and behaviors designed to test a squad's coordination.

Shambler Looks: Common peasants wearing varied historical civilian clothing (button-down shirts, dark vests, top hats, or tricorns) or generic military uniforms. They have greyish, pale skin and standard undead eyes. Sounds: Low, guttural groans, heavy raspy breathing, and typical slow shuffling footsteps. Behavior: They are plain, slow-moving zombies that walk directly toward the nearest player. While weak alone, they are dangerous in massive hordes. They attack by clawing or executing a grab attack that immobilizes a player until a teammate rescues them.

Runner Looks: Recently turned humans whose skin has not yet stiffened from decay. They are easily identified by their glowing red eyes and distinct, intact clothing outfits (like suspenders or elegant suits). Sounds: Distinct, high-pitched frenzied growling, screaming, and incredibly rapid, heavy footstep sounds. Behavior: Highly aggressive and fast. They sprint at full speed toward players. Upon reaching a player, they will immediately leap on them, pinning them to the ground and dealing rapid damage until killed by a teammate. They have lower health than Shamblers, making them easy to pick off mid-sprint.

Bomber Looks: Dressed in bright red logistician robes or worker uniforms. They carry a massive gunpowder barrel (powder keg) in their arms and a lit torch in one hand. Sounds: A prominent, rhythmic sloshing/thumping sound of the heavy barrel moving, alongside regular groans and the crackling of their torch. Behavior: High-priority threat. They target both players and Sapper barricades. When within roughly 10 studs of a target, they ignite the barrel and detonate after a 3.3-second fuse. Shooting the barrel triggers an instant explosion, which can kill nearby players or clear out massive hordes of surrounding zombies. They cannot be shoved.

Zapper (Sapper Zombie) Looks: Undead versions of the Sapper class, wearing leather aprons and uniform variants. They are distinctly identified by their glowing orange eyes. They carry a heavy engineering axe. Sounds: Heavy, metallic footsteps and deep, aggressive grunts. Behavior: Heavily armored tank units. They move at a moderate pace but possess high health pools. They actively swing their axes at players and barricades, dealing massive damage capable of breaking defenses quickly and killing a player in two hits.

Cuirassier Looks: Elite heavy cavalry zombies wearing distinct Napoleonic metallic breastplates (cuirasses) and helmets. They wield a Heavy Sabre. Sounds: Highly distinct clanking and clanging metallic armor sounds with every step. Behavior: Extremely resilient melee fighters. The front breastplate makes them highly resistant to firearms and completely immune to bullet penetration, forcing players to aim for their unprotected backs or heads. They move at an average speed but strike with quick, high-damage sword swings and cannot be shoved.

Igniter Looks: Heavily charred, blackened, and burnt bodies with their left arm completely incinerated down to the bone. They carry a lit, explosive chemical lantern. Sounds: Searing, crackling fire noises and painful, distorted screeching. Behavior: Area-denial units. They move sluggishly toward players. If killed or if they get close enough to a player or barricade, they smash their lantern. This creates a devastating pool of fire that burns players over time and quickly turns surrounding Shamblers into "Burnt" variants. They are immune to shoving.

Viral Variants (Infected Players) When actual men die to the infection system, they reanimate into dangerous Viral variants:

Viral Runner: Spawns when a living class (other than Sapper) succumbs to the infection. They retain the exact cosmetic uniform of the man who died. They behave like normal Runners but possess slightly increased health and even more erratic movement.

Viral Zapper: Spawns when a player Sapper turns. They retain the exact player armor and gear but move and attack significantly faster than a standard, naturally-spawning Zapper, making them an immediate threat to the group.
