soldier zombies "immortal"?

[Hamster2000]

Okay, I'm pissed off. What's wrong with the soldier zombies? I have just shot almost 300 bullets (pistol) and several rifle bullets into a soldier zombie. At least 100 headshots. And the guy kept getting up. I am now out of the game. It is not playable. The last night of blood I had 3 infected soldier zombies in front of the base. I didn't stand a chance. Is it a bug or should it be so? I love this game but that pisses me off.
PS: Sorry for my english.

For a sec I thought I was in hunt showdown forums and got rly confused
Anyway soldier zombies are pretty durable because they have armour. 100 headshots sounds like a bug because that's heinously tough, but as a standard note ap rounds do well against them.

What version of the game are you playing? This was a bug in early A17 but hasnt't been an issue since then..

It might be worth considering what weapon you were using. Hollow Point ammo counts the target's armor twice (200% armor in effect), and Shotgun Shells count 140% (pretty sure these are what the in-game numbers mean). If you were using either of those on an irradiated soldier (these heal quickly, use Rad Remover mod on ranged weapon to prevent healing), and maybe missing a lot (lag between you and a server?) then I could see things getting pretty frustrating pretty fast.

I've seen a bug where Z's stand up while dead, and can block shots for the Z's behind them, but those standing dead are immobile (aside from the jitters), so clearly a bug.

Standing zombies are why junk turrets are great.
They know when the buggers are truly dead.

Aside from the soilder zombie issue, you can adjust all the settings in the game to tone it down a bit, if you are not having fun because of the blood moons.

You can even turn them totally off, or make all the zeds walk only and never run......even at night.

Had it a few times on 18.4, a few blood moons you get invincible zombies you know they are dead but are still moving and attacking. Eventually they warp off at a 100mph until they are out of view and vanish. :D Probably a server lag thing i have no idea.

Might be, because I have never seen this in single player, but maybe it just has not happened to me.

I play A18. In other rounds i have no problem with zombies. Mayby you need a little more bullets but you can kill them. But in this game now it is impossible.

Thank you all for the answers. I'll try other weapons, but I also think it's a bug. I have always played with pistols and rifles and have never had any problems. So I think something is wrong. That means "new game, new luck (?)". I hope the bug is gone.

A) Consider that irradiated zombies regenerate health alot. If it has glowing eyes - then it is probably regenerating its health. Kill it in a quick burst, or leave it alone until you can kill it in a quick burst
B) Some zombies have armor. Armor reduces your damage output by alot. Aim for non-armored parts of their body, or get *armor piercing* bullets to shoot through armor.
C) Instead of facing them - I'd say - hit it. Get away as far as possible. Sometimes, It is better to just run away from them.

You probably meant to say "armor piercing" here instead. Helpful post, by the way.

Sounds like it, yeah, but man would that be trippy as hell to see Zeds warping all over the place.
Just Nope! right out of that map. :D

Many thanks for your response. But the problem is, the soldiers don't die. I just tried again now. Into the military camp and fired with a magnum and machine gun. Again and again in the face, the upper body and nothing happens. I have been playing 7D2D for over 700 hours now and have never had these problems. And when they stand in front of the base at night, I can't even run away. I know it's not easy to be out there as a woman, but I usually know how to defend myself. ;)

Odd. Have you done an XML change of some sorts? Mods, maybe? Have you refreshed your game data after switching from A17* to A18?
I'd suggest a complete reinstall of 7DTD(just backup your worlds). Maybe some XML data got corrupted, or something.

That is obviously a local bug, that is somehow tied to files on your PC.

Try switching difficulty to the easiest one. Will zombies become killable after that?

haven´t read all the comments but do you mean a normal soldier zombie or the newer one with the explosives?
