Zombies on crack

[Teeth]

havent played for a while and it seems to me zombies are on crack atm, is that actually the case or am i on something ?

[Nathan]

they have made different types of zombies. there are runners who will chase after you forever and then there are the screamers who will bring surrounding zombies closer. Military zombies got a buff in hp. you can get knocked out more easier but generally when zams do that they will go away from a uncon player.

All zombies are stronger now then the used to be.

mr Peepers is the worst one. He will stop and just gaze out over a whole field, sometimes I will spot one of these bastards before he spots me. If I see one of these I usually give them a wide birth.

Yeah Zs got a little buff and at the same time stealth kills were introduced to the game.

Just sneak up behind them and stealth kill them with a sharp weapon.

They also hear doors opening/closing. In mil areas the call of officer Zs will bring all others Zs into the fight. make sure to kill them first.

HUH I did not know the officer ones call in back up.

@OP. The game is better for these changes IMO. Zombies are tougher now, but they are sttil easy to kill,. Sneak attack works great. One of our servers has 4x tougher zzs and I can still sneak attack and 1 shot those fools.

I just hate it when they are sidestepping or turning around at the last moment

Do it with bloody hands in the rain. In that situation you can just jog up behind them and take them down on after another. No need to sneak. That said, I don't know if bloody hands is a thing on vanilla?

Nope, its not at vanilla.

That is some sort of bug... I do not get it with one handed slash weapons, always with 2H, I been using a machete last 2 days and has been very effective.

But you are right, That fail is scary as it takes a few seconds to recover, which means the zombie most likely will get a hit off on yeah. I have tried to "recover" from this but never succeeded. I am hoping 1.14 fixes this.

I had a ninja grandma one today. Was dodging every blow I threw at her.p

In 1.14 2 handed melee and hatchet cannot be used for stealth attacks anymore. If you get a silenced weapon then the flat capped military should be your first target to avoid a hoard if he sees you he will call all within 200m to your area so if you are in Tisy or Kamensk you are in for a fight.

Skinny farmer and grandma are lower health so easier to kill. Runners usually have a back pack and can make you think it's a player outside until you get used to them.
If you back up whilst blocking and wait for their 2 handed down swipe you can retaliate with a power hit or two.

my trusty Fange is dispatching them just fine.
using two handed only as a last resort in direct combat when you ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up.

and I don't think that sidestepping is a bug, it's just to make stealth kills a bit harder - they require a good timing to succeed.

what's that bloody hands thing? are you mimicking their smell?

On some modded you are less detectable with bloody hands for Z. @ast
