What Population for Sprinter Setting

[Spada]

Hi, what should be my population settings if i wanna have sprinters ?

Personally I find that having only sprinters makes the game far too difficult. I like having a nice mix of different zombie types. There's a mod you can use which allows for this:

I like to set sprinters to 1%, meaning that 1% of all zombies spawned will be a sprinter. The rest are a mix of slow/fast shamblers and crawlers (I set crawlers to 4%)

It's enough to keep me on my toes. Generally I'll only encounter one sprinter at a given time, but sometimes if I'm running over a long distance and agroing a lot of zeds I might get 2-3 which proves way more troublesome.

These percentages are fully customizable using that mod, so if you want more sprinters you can crank it up to whatever % you'd like.

Yup, pretty much what the previous comment says. Playing only sprinters is playing for the shortest runs you'll get, you'll be lucky to even make it a full day. The aforementioned mod is the way to go.

Good luck and good night. For your speedruns.

If I remember correctly, you may start with low population count settings (0.35) as base population setting, lower starting population to 0.33, so the actual starting zombie count will be around 0.12, and then set max population to 1.00 (will result in 0.35 total after the base multiplier is considered). Set the max population day to anything you see reasonable, for example 30 or 60 days, or more. For me, fighting two sprinters is enough to raise my pulse and make me stressed, so good job game with that, almost no game gives me such feelings. I think it's quite obvious that sprinters can easily overwhelm a lone player, hence the low population for singleplayer. The above values assume an urban-focused population as I haven't yet played with a uniform one. Oh, and yes, obviously you need to be very careful. And I mean it.

Only sprinters or randomized? You might want to lower the population if you want to have just sprinters. 0.3-0.5 in my opinion.

Random Zombies mod, Custom Zombies mod are good but neither of them or other custom zombie mods come close to CDDA zombies imo. The amount of sprinters and other special zombies from that mod are the perfect mix for a hardcore play through. I don't know why more people don't use it.

Why are you even asking? Last time you played a game was last year. Doesn't seem like you are interested in game ....more into attention this community is giving you. Just my thing i noticed

Doesn't have to do with skill. Dealing with sprinters 24/7 becomes annoying rather than thrilling very quickly.

i think this is the perfect choice

Depends on how you take your deaths, if you tolerate a certain amount of getting a new char and continue the save, you could go with 1.0 or 1.25 with respawns off. That's how I play sprinters only saves. I do use a mod wich lowers their speed:

I use 5% sprinters. Zombie Population difficulty: Hard
Max zombies are present start of game, no slow work up.
Each 1% past 5% makes a big difference.

Whenever I'm bored I make a game with the rarest loot settings and sprinters

However, the spawn rates make it so they're EXTREMELY rare and Super Sprinters
