  PS: Select custom if you want to adjust individually.

If you set the zombie speed to anything other than nightmare, you can easily outrun them outdoors.

• Comment : Zombie multiplier beyound 2.0 you may experience adverse performance issues.

In a multi-player game, there is no automatic correction based on the number of players.
The amount of zombies will be just right if the number of players is set equal to the number of players.
If the number of players is set at more than twice the number of players, close combat becomes tougher, and the game changes to one in which stealth kills are the main focus.

• Value : 0.25 ~ 10 *Can be set in 0.25 increments
  
• Default : 1

• Low(4steps) / Default(4steps) / High(1step)

  • 10Min ~ 295Min : Respawns at the set period.

  • 10Min ~ 295Min : Respawns at the set period.

[Lorenzo Hawk]

Is there a way to set only 'normal' zombies and no zombie animals? Would like to make my experience like The Walking Dead TV show before the variants were added.

[Combat Ready]

It's been a while but I have updated my guide.

[-Bl4ckH4wK-]

Is this guide up-to-date?

[Sutorx]

Where are these settings located?

[keterlyn76]

give the option to make player built structures stronger or invulnerable to zombie attacks and defenses that damage zombies and or entangle them.
options for zero ammo weight
better points of interests/ story telling scenes that are randomly placed with interesting loots ot items for base decoration
option to move or dismantle and/or build any object in the game for decoration.
settings for ammo drops
tab targeting and sticky targeting and forgiving hit boxes.
interiors for vans, buses, and box trucks.
climbing, ropes, ladders, and grappling hooks and hook points all over the map.
either plentiful weapons or easy repair settings or both
basically you make a sandbox with a setting for every single conceivable detail of the game and let us decide what gameplay details are important to us as players. follow this request and i promise you, your game will blow up.

[keterlyn76]

Carry weight and number of items carried.
stacks should have 99 or 999 of every single object including boxes of things like nails.
vehicle carry capacity should be super high as though a vehicle is how people move large and heavy loads around in the world. carry slots should increase number of slots should be increased.
alternatively give the option to automatically shunt loot back to camp like in baldur's gate 3.
I wouldnt mind having vehicles being the spot that you have to dump off point for that. either way inventory management should be adjustable for those that what to play a zombie apoc but dont like heavy inventory management or arbitrary limitations on how we play.

[tyclone]

eagle eye is a skill that can be unlocked in the skill tree, allowing you to see friends in the server. Although, I think it is buggy sometimes @doubleohdan

[Doubleohdan]

was wondering what the eagle eye was, look everywhere , no answer, thanks!!!
