How do you kill SWAT zombies?

[c8od47k57jx3m4h5723ukxur3urtujk]

They always kill me and my team. We unload entire assault rifle mags into them and they survive.

How do you kill them?

well obviously you can't aim for the head because of the Helmet so i would suggest getting everyone that's not having it Agroed on to shoot it while the one it's chasing kits the thing around

- They die instantly with grenade or IED
- They die fast with high dmg weapons (Pumpguns, Sniper weapons, Revolver)
- You can spam them to death with arrows
- You can kill him with melee if you are good enough to evade attacks

I believe getting them stuck and letting them "starve to death" works also. Just be sure not to agro it after you get it stuck, then wait for it to die.

Unless they fixed that bug? I doubt it though.

might have to look at the patch notes for your answer to that cause i came to this game very late like right after they made the Update for Flatline late

This is not a bug but a very bad solution to get rid of stucking zombies which turned into an exploit against riot zombies.

So they didn't fix it? This is another pathing problem I assume?

i did see a mod that does fix the god spots not sure if any servers really use it though but it's pretty much necessary until the Devs figure out how to fix it themselves

Just imagine without this solution. Zombies will stuck there forever and it will eat up resources on the server and may cause lag. This solution is not really needed if they would just improve the zombie AI though :S

Dealing with the riot zombie is like paying taxes. Once or twice a match it rolls by and goes:

"Hey, I see you have a fresh AR-15 with three magazines. I will be taking one of those now."

There's really only so many ways you can deal with them, as Sama stated.

Bullet-sponges are AMAZING gameplay designs!

the thing has Riot Armor on come on now calling them Bullet Sponges is a bit much now if the Developers made it so that it takes full damage from the back it would make sense to a certain extent

I still think a high velocity rifle round to the head should go right though the level 2 helmet (as it would in real life) pierce the brain box and bring it down.

Riot Zombies are pretty bad designed especially on extreme difficulty. The hp increasement between hard and extreme difficulty is insane. I'm already used to this but most of the random players are dying on their first riot encounters in extreme.

Riot zombie needs to be rebalanced imo. I have created my own balance for my Zedcore server and it works pretty well. I've decreased their hp almost to the same stage as hard difficulty and injected an increased riot spawn for each map but after some loots so that the survivors don't have to fight them at the beginning with starting weapons. It is more realistic that way and much more fun instead fighting against some weird robots.

Exactly, riot armor, not diamond-plated armor with 24 inches of pure steel beneath it.

I should come by that one sometime, sounds fun!

I thought of like, if you try a stealth kill on a Riot Zombie (For those who don't know, you can press V while holding a melee weapon and it will silently kill a normal zombie) , it should do an animation where you take off his helmet, and kick him from the back, as to not get hit inmmediately afterwards, leaving him vulnerable for a headshot (Like ZombiU except for the 3-hit bashing with a melee weapon to take it off).

Though this would leave these Riots to be the last targets in a horde, becoming a nuisance you have to constantly avoid, if holding on a corridor. But together with the reduced health and increased spawn rate, i think they would be way more fun to tackle, wouldn't they?
