Zombies

Configurations background

Distribution

  • Zombies are distributed according to difficulty areas and the presence of hot zones (e.g., shops).
  • They can sometimes appear in very large numbers.

Loot

  • Zombie loot matches what they are wearing.
  • City zombies may drop food, industrial zombies may drop construction materials, etc.
  • Most zombies will only drop the clothes "they are wearing".
  • If you see a zombie with red clothes, it will likely drop red clothes when killed.

Locations

  • Zombies are mostly distributed like in vanilla spawns, with two significant differences:
    1. Their number changes significantly depending on area difficulty.
    2. There are extra spawns in "hotspots" (special locations like shops with a chance for helpful loot).

Hordes

  • Static hordes: Always in the same spot.
  • Moving hordes: Follow paths throughout the map.
    • Rumor says zombie hordes follow power lines...
    • Horde movement corresponds to location changes after each game server restart.
    • Players logging out in the wrong place might find themselves in the middle of a horde upon login!
