Turning in costume salvage doesn't guarantee a zombie invasion. I can't recall having seen any zombie invasions since I16 hit, however. It might have something to do with the new Halloween event, which we'll see next week on test according to TheOcho.

Also on Steam
I've seen a couple zombie invasions since i16 on Victory. My understanding is that turning in Halloween salvage, at any time, has a CHANCE to trigger an invasion. Last I heard, it was being estimated at a 20% chance.

Had a zombie invasion waiting for us after exiting a mission in the hollows just 2 days ago.

I didn't know it was chance.
Thank you all
I've bumped into two zombie invasions on Virtue since i16.

That doesn't jive with testing I was involved in. At that time, you could always create an invasion as long as you didn't turn in salvage before the next in-game midnight after another invasion had been created.|

Is it known to have changed to a random chance?

American Steele: 50 BS/Inv
Nightfall: 50 DDD
Sable Slayer: 50 DM/Rgn
Fortune's Shadow: 50 Dark/Psi
WinterStrike: 47 Ice/Dev
Quantum Well: 43 Inv/EM
Twilit Destiny: 43 MA/DA
Red
Shadowslip: 50 DDC
Final Rest: 50 MA/Rgn
Abyssal Frost: 50 Ice/Dark
Golden Ember: 50 SM/FA
As far as I know, it's always been a chance, no matter when the salvage is turned in.
I don't know about the chance or the percentage, but I saw one on Justice the day after I16 went live. I haven't seen one since the patch last week, but I'll keep ana eye out next time I'm on.

At this point, I don't see any reason for the Devs to continue to not tell us how to trigger the ZI. It's almost been a year now.
Spill the brains, Devs!
Er... beans! Yeah... Spill the beans...

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
There were two running concurrently on redside Triumph Last night, around maybe 9.30 or 10 eastern. Cap and Grandville.

There is *definitely* something random about it. Multiple zombapocalypses can be spawned in one in-game day cycle, and even during the day... but not always. Sometimes turning in the Halloween salvage doesn't trigger an event.|

However, that doesn't preclude that there is a *definite* way to trigger the event by waiting a full day cycle.
So, it's *possible* that there is a 10-20% chance of triggering an event, except if it's been a full day cycle since the last event, in which case, there is a 100% of triggering it.
We need a larger sample with logs and rigorous testing of theories of triggers. Or, a dev can tell us.

About 20 minutes ago those buggers were in GV.
A whole bunch of 50's.
I've noticed something odd with the zombie invasions since i16. It used to be that when there was a zombie invasion, both hero and villain side would get a zone invaded. Since i16, I've only seen one side get the invasion, never both.
And yes, I put both hero and villain zone even messages in my tab so I see both sides when something happens. If I happen to be on one side and there is something spawned on the other I need, I like to know about it. Setting up my chat tabs is one of the first things I do when I make a new toon. 
Maybe they were never meant to spawn both sides and it got fixed with i16, or maybe it got borked with i16 and they are only spawning for one side. Who knows for sure. Maybe we can get a Dev to look into it.
Losing faith in humanity, one person at a time.
Had anyone seen Zombie Invasions since i16 release?
I turned in Halloween salvage in Croatoa, don't know what was a game time at that moment, but it was a night. It didn't trigger any invasions.
