Zombie weakness: what to tweak.

[grazieandre]

1. Zombies can drown. They breathe, so if the go in the water they drown after a short period of time.
2. Zombies strong arms cannot hit things forever and do more damage than a pickaxe, so after a while their arm break and they start hitting blocks with their head.
3.Surely there are many other things to say but these were at the top of my list. i hope they implement this features.

Canon zombie lore dictates that zombies do not breathe.

"Canon zombie lore"?

Seriously?

There's no "canon" zombie lore when there's so many variations.

I bet you were one of those guys that freaked out and said Skyrims dragons "weren't real dragons but wyverns".

You can have some common consensus for fantasy creatures (elves have pointy ears, orcs have green skin, dragons breath fire), but there's no canon for them.

On that note, Dead Islands zombies cannot breathe underwater, they slowly take damage while they're submerged.

not to mention that the white american version of zombie lore is vastly different than the original zombie of Hatin Voodum. i mean if we are talking about canon zombie lore and all

Most important tweak. All zombies should have advanced breast physics.

Zombie of Hatin Voodum? Gad I would hate to run into one of those.

Not sure if anyone else has seen Neil deGrasse Tyson's scientific analysis of zombie (featured on the Daily Show)...he's a smart guy. And a ruiner ;)

I like your way to think. But, you think small.
Female player characters need it too.

But seriously, if the zombie is a dead zombie, do not need to breath. If the zombie is the infected type it need to breath.
So, what type is the 7dtd zombie?

OP

2. Zombies strong arms cannot hit things forever and do more damage than a pickaxe

muscles need oxygen to move. there must be some type of aerobic transfer function even though these zombies appear to be dead. i will assume that movement comes down to some kind of muscle memory therefore most of the brain can remain nonfunctioning, but certain biological facilities must remain active for there to be any kind of plausibility to the idea of zombies. yes, they can "drown"

Plausibility is not really needed. They're zombies. Dead walking. A walking impossibility.
Unless they're more like the infected type, of course.

Its bad enough already that a zombie can be killed by a cactus, so hell NO to having them drown.

yes. i tend to think of them as infected instead of reanimated corpses. walking dead, now that's just silly.

But reanimated corpses is more scary.
Infected is... well, just people with serious self-control issues.
