Does killing zombies give humanity?

If so how much?

How are people getting hero skins now days?

Sadly, it doesn't.

If people have teammates they just help each other out or if your lucky you can go around being a medic and being successful at it.

It doesn't, but it would be awesome if killing a zombie would give like 3-5 humanity per zombie kill. That would give you a reason to kill them (Other than for residential supplies and possibly ammo)

I dont see how murdering the victims of an infection could be considered a heroic deed.

It's their only cure, and an act of mercy. So don't let it trouble your conscience.

Ok, lets look at it from a gameplay point of view, whats to stop bandits from just running around slaughtering zeds to give themselves the hero skin?

This is the main problem with this really. People that actually want to be bandits are going to have to kill zombies at some point and I'm sure they won't want that adding humanity and fighting them the whole way. Although the amount of humanity lost for killing a hero/survivor would easily outweigh the minor + you would get from killing zombies so it really could be doable just a matter of balance.

The idea of gaining humanity through killing zeds totally defeats the intention of the humanity system which is to reward players for helping other players.

People kill zeds to either survive or just because its fun to kill things, rewarding them for this is just dumb.
