Ideas for mutated zombies

[LOLgotyou]

I was trying the mod where a special zombies called banshee and nemesis are added to the game, honestly wasn't very happy with the special zombies added. I feel like instead of making you think of a way too kill or avoid it smartly, instead I feel like it only add pressure and another unfair problem that you have to deal with. So it got me to think what specials zombie that would be challenging but have a clear solution how to deal with and perhaps having a good loot on their corpses so player will feel rewarded. But I can't think anything on the top of my head lol. So if there is anyone who have any idea I would like too hear them, or if there is any other great mod with special zombies you can suggest them to me and maybe I'll try it.

I personally think special/mutated zombies completely ruins the feel of the game, but that's just me

I agree! Adding special zombies turns it into an arcade experience. Orthodox zombies ftw

How about a "Thick Zombie" that eats other zombies and turns all that extra protein into gigantic ass and thigh muscles which makes them fully immune to being hit by cars (they reflect all the damage back onto the car itself, while taking none themselves) and they also run abnormally fast as well.

That'd be pretty fun, right?

The half infected tramp
He is a half infected tramp sometimes he is in the mood to harass you other times he searches buildings opening doors and windows and ransacking supply. Sometimes on approach he will speak to the player other times he lunge and try to attack. If he finds of the player sleeping or living locations he may come at any time and open the door if it’s not locked.

He walks among the zombies.
Together with them. They ignore him.
If you don’t give him what he wants he attacks you or shouts. You can kill him but he infinitely resurrect.

Electrostatic Zombie
He is highly charged with electricity his arms can strike a short bolt of lightning stunning the player outside of normal grab range. He is noticeable from his spikey hair and smokey look and unique walk. Short or metallic weapons may apply stun to the player on impact. Longer blunts or spears are preferred.

Zombie Chimp —
Zombie chimp is fast and can climb !
A few zombified chimps escaped from the zoo. There is always a chimp at the zoo but the 4 others can be found anywhere on the map. Primarily in wilderness regions, due to its instinct. Zombie chimp will prefer to climb up to the second story window if he sees you. On ground he is fast. And very strong on grab. His bite is quick also. He smashes windows in hit in one dramatic jump animation. If he is in melee range he will likely win. He can only be killed reliably with a gun, stun stick. Or tranquilliser.

Hoggle -
Hoggle is a small hunched over zombie that does not attack the player. He is always found in a small enclosed bathroom, with various empty tin cans and other broken items. Hoggle is startled by the player and will push and shove before running away, the player will not be able to pursue hoggle once he has been pushed over. Hoggle can be killed. But Hoggles dens improve loot chances each time he is discovered in one.
Evidence of hoggle living in an area may be a chopped tree. Or closed curtains. He is indeed a type of deformed zombie but he is never aggressive to the player

Genius Zombie

Can open doors.

Invisible silent Zombies that wander around not touching anyone or anything. You never know if one is near you

The ones I've tried are "a Advanced zombie mod, CDDA zombies and personalised zombies." Out of the three, the personalised zombies mod has felt the most vanilla-like. I think the one you mention is called Soul Filcher's Turning Time which I haven't tried yet but looks interesting.

I also think that it would be off the game element of realistic. Just looking for new type of way to play, and so I was wondering could there be a special zombies that can blend well with the game, so it wouldn't go far off too a superhuman zombies that makes no sense and can create a unique scenario

So basically the infected from the last of us, well maybe it could be interesting if they spawn on closed area 3 years in the apocalypse, when your character is buffed and got many supply. But wouldn't that be too hard lol, it could run fast wasting stamina and with no gun you would be dead probably.

Half infected tramp and hoggle sounds interesting. It can add to the lore and add interesting scenario I say. Hoggle could be interesting for rewarding player when finding him. Half infected would be real creepy just staring at you, could be even more fun to build on this idea.

After so many hours nearly 1000 hours in this game / 24 that’s days. But after this many real life days playing the game, I totally feel that a special infected is required. And I’m not talking about sprinters, or spitters.

Hoggle is a good one there. Infected tramp may be abit too far. Hoggle there could set the standard for what to expect from an npc. He disappears off camera. I thought maybe when he runs away that zombies that player had attracted could then follow him away until he gets out of range. I thought hoggle sightings wouldn’t start happening until around 4-6 months into the game. So that it really pushes something to investigate.
I thought giving him a shamed persona like he is ashamed to be a zombie while also having a jog movement speed. He just push past the player and try to run off screen. Draws zombies with him in the direction of his escape. Chasing is futile. You could shoot him but then it ends the hoggle story development.



The zombie chimp shouldn’t be overlooked as it’s not something that can just come and find you. You’d activate the story by visiting the zoo. Now when you are in deep wilderness there is a chance a zombie chimp will come for you. It encourage the player to go on boss hunting trips. Zombie chimp obviously has no loot on him. But you can decapitate it for a mantle piece.
