What's the point of shooting zombies ?

I mean yes, it saves you from a zombie but then 10 millions of them comes back.

Seriously, it is ridiculous. it's endless you shot one time and yup never ending zombies commin at you.

That's why you should be more careful :P

This isn't supposed to be a zombie horde killing game where you go into a town and clear it of all zombies for fun.

It's about survival. If you can't use stealth to avoid zombies or if they spot you, kill a few to buy yourself time until you can escape. Personally, I think it should be impractical for a survivor to wipe out all the zombies coming for them... unless it's a very small group.

I don't mind it when I hit the zombies, but those mofos are like dip dodge duck and weave masters sometimes.

The point is to survive.

If you shoot near zombies, expect them to hear it. Maybe lead it away from other zombies before killing it, or use a quieter weapon.
