World War Z Viral State: is the $9.99 Florida Episode worth it, and do the free Microgun and Dual Kama change your class build?

World War Z's Viral State update landed on November 12, 2026 with a paid Florida Episode (three maps, four new survivors) and two free weapons for everyone. Now that you have played it: was the episode worth the price, and did the Microgun or the Dual Kama earn a place in your loadout?

What Saber confirms: the Florida Episode costs $9.99 / €9.99 on Steam and follows four vigilantes through Miami streets, bars, hotels and a theme park. The free Microgun (heavy) and Dual Kama (light melee) each have their own perks, Daily Challenges get a new timer, reroll system and pinning, and several perks are fixed (Pillbox, Cluster Bombs, Dragon Breath, Last Exhaust).

Our questions:

1. Florida Episode: how long did the three maps take your squad, on which difficulty, and do you feel it was worth $9.99 / €9.99?
2. Which map or set piece stood out (the streets, the hotels, the theme park), and which one was the hardest?
3. Microgun or Dual Kama: on which class did you try them, and did they replace your usual heavy or melee weapon?
4. Daily Challenges: does the new reroll system and pinning make them easier to finish?
5. Did the perk fixes (Pillbox unlock, Cluster Bombs after a restart, Dragon Breath fire kills) work for you, or is a bug still there? Which platform are you on?
