Why do zombies look and act nothing like zombies.

[Mr. Nobody]

What's the point of adding "zombies" into a game if they can shoot guns and look no different than normal stalkers? The zombies seem completely pointless imo.

if you follow one of side quest they will explain the some zombies can turn back to be humans . i still wacked that dude he try to attack me . i think its not zombies you see if other games. its more like mind control thing zone does unless i am wrong . its psi thing they still flash like real people

the original term was zombified stalkers. but they aren't the biting bleeding infected type,

its just a term for people's who've suffered near fatal amounts of psi radiation, their brains are destroyed and they're just shambling husks that can barely stand, but still know how to do basic actions like opening doors and using their weapons

based on the old voiceovers in the old games, its possible that the explanation is zombified stalkers are halleucinating whilst having fatal brain damage, they can still speak but its mumbled, they'll say things like "enemy!!!!" and then wildly fire at them.

They can barely stand but are walking miles in a wasteland, able to stick together, manage inventory, and fire with decent accuracy as well as know to reload and what ammo their guns need? Just seems all over the place. If they're "brain dead" they should be brain dead and essentially unable to do anything. Idk just seems an odd design choice that is all over the place like they're brain dead but can do essentially everything but talk..

It being a sort of mind control from the zone would make sense and they're essentially like a hive mind.

Imagine a common american on fentanyl

Basic motor functions, routine reflexes, but nothing else

That is a zombified stalker

Here we go again, another person complaining simply because they don't have a clue.

If someone asking a question is somehow "trolling" to you, i HIGHLY recommend staying off the internet.

They look like normal stalkers because they are normal stalkers

Whose brains basically got microwaved to the point that they only partially function.

Do people not bother to understand a games lore before they post things like this? They are not zombies in the traditional sense as in "undead" and there is a reason they have guns and still can shoot them.

Others have already explained that they are more like husks that have no emotion, no memory, and are acting on their most basic instinct, that being to kill anything/anyone they come across.

they definitely do have emotions & memories. i suggest anyone who doesn’t speak ukranian to go on youtube & look up a translation of what things they are saying in the og games. its gut wrenchingly sad. i think its more like they have a kind of locked in syndrome. not sure if its accurate to the lore but i think of them as the people who failed to turn completely into monolith soldiers as the processes of monolithification is not perfect.

Even dogs and rats can open doors in this game,lol.

I saw a rat open a metal door once in an underground area, and it scared the crap out of me lol

This was amazing when it happened because it scared me too. I suck at first person shooters, and having to fire at rats without realizing they can't jump up on things made me think I could just shut a door on them. It was so funny when I ran away like a screaming baby. lol.

For brain damaged, mindless husks these "Zombies" sure have incredible accuracy.

100% a bit ridiculous in my opinion. As well as animals opening doors.. idk the design choices in the game completely contradict one another. Like in some aspects they’re all about realism and yet in others they go out of their way to break realism.

Why do trolls act nothing like trolls?

Because Zombie in STALKER world are not dead, they are Alive Stalker who are zombified, they don't want to eat anything, they just lost there 95% of their memory, they have reflex like shooting enemies and wanting to get some artefacts, like previous games they said "Wannt tooo geet artiefact ARTIFACCCCTTS" or crying to their moms; and in stalker Lore this is the worst fate to end up because you are 100% aware you are a zombie but can't do a thing exepect waiting to get killed by a stalker
