How to kill the zombie with purple fire?

[mxyzf8]

When infection level reached lv. 4 or 5 zombie spawn will randomly have purple fire over them, and it seems they can't be damaged by any kind of weapon. I just want to ask it they are really invincible or is there other way of killing them?

Some players calls them cursed zombies.

They are not invincible. They just have A LOT of health. if you are struggling with the small cursed zombies my advice is keep grinding more gold to get stronger cause on higher levels, you will encounter cursed heavies and those cursed exploding zoms and those definitely have way more health the normal cursed ones.

Thank you! But this game is bloody hard...I'm already getting frustrated when reaching lv 5 and I never did passing that ever since. I love the game art and music and all the weapon design and perks, but having that many zombies is simply freaking me out. I'm wondering if I'm able to play at a fixed, lower level of infection rate so I can have some space to breath.

As of rn there is no feature to lock the level, only a feature to increase / decrease the level you start and a feature to slow down or speed up the level.

I'm already putting everything down to minimum... man I wish someday they can offer us a mode with lower difficulty

I would suggest getting the bat or other melee weapon to save on ammo and get and upgrade health packs. The game will only get more difficult I've only been able to get to lvl 95 with everything unlocked and upgraded.

getting the katana as start weapon helps alot, and you can buiild up melee kills (needed for flame edge) and precission kills on top for the weapon unlocks.
at start its best to first take the perk for more drop money and more money drops on melee kills.

when you kill a cursed z it drops a weapon, mostly better than what you can get from chest on the saem infection level. they are only dmg sponges and a little more resilent to elemental staggers.

Since they can’t be knocked back, melee is a bad idea. Just unload into them until they’re dead.

The zombies with purple auras are simply stronger versions; the weapons drop when they die.

They can take more, not more, not less.

Melee wasn't so great at first, but the late-stage melee is simply OP. I especially like the 40-coin sword, which freezes enemies very often. Plus, the longer frost state perk does more damage when frozen, and there's a chance of instant death. Those with purple auras are sometimes one-shots with a sword, and you're almost invulnerable, unless you're too greedy. XD
Melee is OP. They don't break, they have no durability.
And once you get the hang of it, they're exploding enemies, which is no longer a problem with melee combat.

[Dracov2011]

It may seem like a bad melee at first, but as someone already wrote, work with melee at first because they're the weakest, plus the perk: more money for kills every 20 seconds. And work towards the flaming sword. It'll be worth it. As I said, melee is OP. You can easily make it to wave 100 if you max out everything, then upgrade your medkit, and aren't too greedy and get lured into a trap or become careless. In the end, just swing your weapon and do something else while afk. XD, especially with the coin sword/ice sword.


Sure, it'll get more and more expensive, but since you get 100% of your gold back and can change skills at any time, it's okay and fair, but not without its initial cost, when costs keep rising. xd

thank you lads, I think I will working for the flaming sword right now, wish me luck!

[Dracov2011]

I wish you much success.
And yes, you're not forced to if you don't want to, but it's still not a mistake to have the flaming sword.
If you have it and upgrade with a medikit, you'll be glad you have it. It makes a lot of things easier at the beginning, plus the perks, and it works.
