Can zombies get in through the main shutter?

[Master Cheeks]

I replaced the fuse and the main shutter opened up, but it can't be closed again. This leaves a hole in the main hall which is a safe zone. Can zombies come through the shutter entrance? If so, I'll probably just reload my save cuz I don't see much point in using the fuse if it's gonna compromise the whole area.

roughly halfway through the game the main hall will be occupied by zombies nontheless.

No zombies can't however Mr.X can and its actually better to have that open so instead of you having one way to go to the main hall via the second floor you have two which again is better because if Mr.X is on the second floor not having that open is basically you saying "I want to get jumpscared by Mr.X"

[Master Cheeks]

Ah, I'll leave it open then. Thanks!

No it won't, the ONLY time its ever occupied by zombies in during B scenario which even then the shutter isn't the reason why.

no one came to other side in whole game for me,
not in hardcore nor in assisted

i'm pretty sure some zombies can go through it in Claire's 2nd run.

Not really true.

Once Marvin dies the Main Hall is no longer holy ground. Enemies can go in.

Nope, even Marvin dead, there was no zombies for me in Main hall, even in hardcore , certainly there will be few in second run, but second run is scripted to have enemies again, every enemy IS there for Claire even you kill them in first run

He's right, once Marvin dies zombies CAN enter the main hall, he didnt say there'll be zombies spawning there. They can still follow you through doors such as the library if they're aggro'd on you.

Yeah im pretty sure i had some zombies invading the hall by the opened shutter and the library's door on Claire's 2nd run. In addition to the ones that are already there with Marvin. I was quite surprised.

Library zombies followed me into the main hall on B run.

[Alig200]

2nd Run scenarios are different, they can always have enemies come into the main hall right from the get go, and have those 3-4 zombies that spawn there.

For the A scenarios, enemies cant enter the main hall till Marvin dies/Mr X shows up.

Quite bold statement. Such a pity you are wrong,
As soon as Marvin dies and tyrant goes nuts zombies will follow to the main hall and stay there.

Main hall is safe as long as Marvin is alive. Simple mechanic to prevent enemies from getting close to him (he does have a gun).
