What are the requirements to jump tall fences?
I started with a strength 5, fitness 0 character, 3 weeks in and I'm almost at Fitness 2 and halfway to strength 6, but he still can't jump over them

And down from Obese to Overweight

I didn't even know you could jump tall fences. I thought you could only leap over small ones.

Build 41 feature.

I start my games with +4 strength/+4 fitness traits and I've never climbed one of these. Checking now.

Just a tip for climbing the tall fences... Don't have anything equipped in your off hand(like a bag). You will drop it on the ground before you climb up and over.

No they can't. Zombies can't jump or climb anything. At most they fall over the tiny fences and fall through windows.

Build 41 they can jump high fences

They cannot, i have used high fenced safe zones a lot of times, and never were they able to jump over. What could happen, is when you go away from your base, certain zombies "bug" and they pass THROUGH the wall while they are not animated. (They are stored as numbers walking over cells, but they are not pixelated if you are not there.)
The same can happen while you are sleeping. However they still cannot jump over. If they could, they could climb on walls and get to first level windows as well. Another option is that if you use a car as a blocker, they can crawl under it. But this is all they can do.

For the poster.
The minimum requirements if i recall well are 3/2 str/end. However you will need a good roll for it to succeed. Every negative moodle you have lowers the chance of climbing over the wall though. So for instance, even if you are tired only just a bit you may not be able to climb over a wall, that usually u are. (The moodles dice affecting became a lot harsher in 41, and even more so with the recent update.)

I thought you could climb fences without strength. I usually don’t bring strength into games and only bring athletic or a min of +3 fitness. I think if you start with a fitness debuff like overweight or underweight then you will struggle with fences. But strength probably plays a role in the success of the climb. But the most impactive for a successful climb is the obvious low energy. Sometimes takes two attempts.

Note that I said fences, not walls. In 41 they can jump (so can you) high fences

No. Zombies cannot scale walls or high fences.

Not sure what you all count as a high fence but if we're talking the typical high fences like around the convenience store in Muldraugh, they can definitely scale those (41.53).

Zombies cant jump over these, only player can

As for the OP, i can jump with 3 Fitness just fine
Animalman Aug 3, 2021 @ 8:17am 
3 fitness does a great job but won’t work if you’re tired. As expected.

Thanks, and ha that first paragraph reminds me of a traumatic bug where the game decided to let a random zombie into my completely barred and barricaded safehouse (Which was a 1 room building) while I was sleeping, I got so terrified by that, that even now I'm ready for a fight each time my guy wakes up
