Jason Voorhees Zombie....

[CSI48]

Anyone know where this guy is typically found near ? i just found out about this one a YouTube video , but now it's got my interest.

[Animalman]

I ran into him once in over 150 hours it’s just a rare occurrence. But the house he was in was also just random house near my spawn location. It was in westpoint where the 2 story houses are. When I met him he was the only zom in the house( and the house in every room upstairs and downstairs had murdered corpses.

It is just a standard survivor wearing a hockey mask and can have a multiple of different weapons on him. Hockey stick machete...whatever.
you can meet different kind of survivor types though they are rare.
(There are some standard common survivor types as well.)

[Animalman]

If Nordil is correct it’s still massively rare to find a hockey mask and machete on an every day spawn location zom. Like walking out your front door and a zom is holding a machete hockey mask is so rare. Especially if all the colours match Jason outfit perfectly and if you look at the colour chart lot of colours can spawn ultra rare occurrence. Special case zom.

About a week ago I encountered this type of zombie in Rosewood. Random house spawn, he was the only one there. Nothing really special, went down like any other zombie when it has buckshot in it's brain.

There is another type of event though. I think it is serial murder encounter.
I have encountered this a few times:

A zombie wearing doctors clothing with scalpel, and a few dead bodies on the floor. At some times outside there were also cops. (But both this events at one place is rare as hell, i met both only like twice, whereas the scalpel guy about 5 times.)

I use 1 painfulmod challenge settings so my encounters, loot, and so on are on rare or extremely rare. Same with guns and weapons. So finding a machete and a katana is not easy. Those two are the rarest weapons since the katana is as i experienced only findable on zombie that has been stabbed with it, whereas machete is also found on zombie, or on VERY rare occasions in boarded up houses.

Regarding the different kind of rare survivors:
-I found so far a guy who had stone tools with the military backpack, had also 3 food and a map, along with fireman trousers.
- the Jason guy with both machete and hockey stick
- The Jason guy with appropriate dark clothing. (random clothing spawn)
- Guy with a big hikers bag and a hockey stick
and a few others.
- Hunters -> traps and guns.
- fishers -> fresh food (even on 6 months setting)
- campers -> fresh food (even on 6 months setting)

The standard survivor you can most encounter is usually among a group of 25 zombies that are all gathered together in one cell, and spread out when you go close to them.
This is the most common way to find yourself a military backpack. Though you have to dispose of all the other zombies as well. However it is usually rewarding since there is at least one zombie with some kind of weapon or gun among them. (Last time i found my only axe, and a shotgun this way too.) also the survivor has usually 1-3 different canned or other such food on him. (This time it way TV dinner) And has a good chance for having an annotated map.

The standard zombie you see in herds tight herds of zom on the road who carries a bag rarely spawns with anything interesting in that bag or aswell as the bag. So the road zom are different to hunter survivors or Jason who will carry elite weaponry. The road zom in tight herds who provides the reward for defeating the herd is probably on equal standing to event zom like fireman and Orange jump suit prisoners. Also lots of bag carry zom can have nothing special about them satchel bags and duffle bags. Quite common


But to acquire the bag from the zombie ball is a waste of time vs if you saw a tent and 4x4 at the side of the road these guys probably have rifles and there’s only 2 or 3 of them. Much better find.


I am more likely to stop and kill a stray cop than I am to kill a zombie ball I use to always do it and get away with it but nowadays cars are weaker and killing that herd with a car is too expensive vs the reward of a bag

As i have written, it is not the standard zombie that is in the herded group, but usually one among the herded group zombies, who will have something nice on him weaponry wise. Often it is an axe, a crowbar...sometimes it is a kind of gun, and VERY rarely a machete. These are all that i have encountered. And if you are very lucky there are two such zombies among them. This is what happened with me in my current run.
Of course herded zombie loot depends on RNG, so if you are unlucky you can have instead of the aforementioned weapons....scissors for instance.

I found the standard survivor zombie with military backpack, he had an annotated map and a TV diner. (Annonated map is either on him or not. However he will have at least 1 food in the backpack. Though he can have max 4 food on him if i recall well, but 3 definetly.)
Among the 24 other zombies, there was a guy with a loaded shotgun on his back (5+1 ammo as standard for pump action found shotgun found on zombie) and another one with an axe in his back. Since I had no guns, no axe nor any kind of backpack for me this way a very lucky encounter on one painful year challenge. (Though i had a car.)

Interesting. Next game I’ll kill a few zombie balls and record my findings. I tend to only kill them if I have a shotgun since you can get it done with pretty quick and it makes about the same amount of noise as running them over would anyway. And any incoming zom not connected to the zom ball you can just lead away and come back to loot shotgun you take that ball down in a few shots before it scatters


Trouble with zom ball is in fact where you encounter them. For example on a road in the middle of nowhere. And you don’t wanna smash your car up in the middle of nowhere and have a hike for the nearest chance at an unlockable And it’s often impossible to separate the special zom from the pack. But you could just run that one over and the pull some dexterity to loot him but the other zom can have things you want like watches or random gun, cigarette lighter matches or ammo chance.

I regularly encounter them but only in the middle of nowhere. I pass by them, stop a bit further up or down. Get out and lure them to kill. Might take a few in game hours, depending on what level are my char's different skills and attributes. But if i have a katana or a spear it takes a lot less time. But it is usually worth it. Also i am using purely melee and no burning down zombies.
Settings are also insane zombie population, so any kind of noise happens, aka gunshots, alarms, regularly coming chopper, these attract a DAMN lot of zombies.

no lie, i literally just spawned with him next to me in a house

[spatulaodoom]

There is actually a Jason zombie.
I ran into him just a couple of days ago.
He was the only zombie inside a house full of dead people (obviously teens having a party, can't have that).
He had a machete and the clothes looked about right as well as the mask.

Well you cant tell they are teens or not.
Also that event for me usually spawned a doctor with a scalpel and outside were police cars.
So it is an event, so only way to trigger more frequent spawns is to enable it in sandbox.

[Always Neutral]

Yes, the implication is very obviously supposed to be teenagers who were murdered by jason. Quite semantic to argue otherwise.

Sorry, what i meant was that this setting i have yet to encounter, i might have worded it wrong.
The thing is you need to encounter this event on max the first two days once it triggers(aka the cell is loaded in "visually") elsewise you will not see the original scene, because the zombie(s) has already wandered away.

[Another Mother's Son]

Here he is again! My second time seeing him. First was the Riverside trailer park. Hard to get a screenshot when you're panicking IRL
