Model 1887 Update

The Model 1887 Update is the current named Project Lazarus ZOMBIES patch as of late June 2026. v1.0 went live on June 10, 2026 with a sawed-off lever-action shotgun in the Mystery Box and a new revive animation set. Four lettered builds followed through June 29. If your menu still shows Foam or Wetwork in the lower-right corner, you are not on this gun yet.

The shotgun is an American lever-action with a cut barrel, cut stock, and an enlarged lever loop so the inspect and fire cycle can flip-cock. logitech101 built the model. It is a close-range pellet gun, not a wonder weapon. Pack-a-Punch turns it into Terminus with the Judgment Module, which tightens spread while aiming and lets headshots stack bonus body damage.

The video on this page is not the shotgun. It is the older RPG-7 showcase from the late-2025 Rocket / Frontier window. We keep it because it is the best official-feeling launcher clip still circulating, and because squads still confuse “the new heavy” with the 1887. Read the changelog if you want that rocket’s dates (October 28, 2025 add, December 2025 ammo bugs). This page is the lever gun and the revive work.

What v1.0 actually shipped (June 10, 2026)

  • Model 1887 added to the Mystery Box at the usual 950-point spin.
  • New revive animations for downed teammates. Timing for the revive itself still respects Quick Revive; the change is the presentation and the code path underneath it, which is why later hotfixes targeted revive bugs instead of the gun.
  • The Maverick foam blaster was moved from the handgun class into the Easter Egg class in this same v1.0, which is why some loadout sheets suddenly “lost” a pistol.

Day-one pellet damage was 520 max to 60 min across three pellets (1560–180). That number is why early clips call the gun a peashooter past round 15. Do not use those clips to rank it after June 25.

Lettered hotfixes

v1.0a — June 25, 2026. The real gun patch. Max pellet damage went 520 → 560 (1680–180 at close range). Pack-a-Punch Terminus jumped 1240–800 per pellet to 1600–1200 (4800–3600). Smoke was added to the muzzle. The module name “Judgement” was corrected to Judgment. If you packed the gun during the two-week gap, inspect the module name; a British spelling means you are looking at a pre-buff memory, not a different weapon.

v1.0b — June 26, 2026. Critical revive bug fix. This is the build you want if a teammate was failing to stand up, getting stuck in the new animation, or dropping a revive that looked complete on your screen and not on theirs. High-round squads should not attempt a record on v1.0 or v1.0a after this letter existed.

v1.1 — June 29, 2026. Added the Creator camo and a bundle of smaller fixes. Cosmetic, but it is how you tell a June 29 client from a June 26 client at a glance in the armory.

v1.1a — June 29, 2026. Perks bug fix. Pack-a-Punch was not checking Mule Kick correctly when it handed weapons back, which could strand or drop the third gun. If your three-weapon loadout melted after packing, this is the letter you needed. Pair it with how to pack-a-punch and the perk guide.

How the shotgun plays

Unpacked, the 1887 is a seven-shell lever gun with 7+56 ammo, about 79 RPM, and no headshot multiplier (head, torso, and limbs all ×1.0). Damage is pellets and range, not a head-click bonus. Packed Terminus keeps seven shells, jumps to 7+126, and uses Judgment: ADS tightens spread, headshots stack 25% body damage (up to seven, five seconds). It will not replace packed Frostbite or Ray Gun on high-round strategy, but after June 25 it is a real close-train special on Graduation halls. Learn the loop on how to train first.

Spin the box only after power and Juggernog. Point math is unchanged on the points guide. Health is still 150 on round 1 and exponential after 9; pellet floor matters once round scaling puts zombies past 2,000 HP.

RPG-7, because the video is the rocket

The RPG-7 was the late-2025 heavy (Rocket October 28, Frontier fixes through December 23). Model 1887 v1.0 even added backblast. If you wanted a rocket guide, use the changelog and the weapon tier list. The embed stays because it is a real clip, not a fake ID.

Creator camo is the v1.1 collectible. Play v1.1a for reliability. Do not rank the shotgun from a June 10–24 demo. Tier arguments belong on the weapon tier list; this page is the patch anatomy.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for perks, Mystery Box pulls, and high-round survival.

When was the Model 1887 added?

June 10, 2026 in v1.0, Mystery Box only. Damage was then buffed in v1.0a on June 25.

Why does this page embed an RPG-7 video?

That clip is the late-2025 rocket launcher showcase. The 1887 itself is a lever shotgun; the video is kept as a real related highlight, not as footage of the new gun.

What did the revive patch change?

v1.0 shipped new revive animations. v1.0b on June 26 fixed a critical revive bug. Use v1.0b or later for any serious co-op run.

What is Terminus / Judgment?

Pack-a-Punch name and module for the 1887. Judgment tightens ADS spread and stacks body damage after headshots. Upgrade steps are on how to pack-a-punch.

What did v1.1a fix?

A perks bug: Pack-a-Punch was not checking Mule Kick correctly when returning weapons. Needed if you run a three-gun loadout.
