mikichan 0 Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Am i doing something wrong or it's alpha bug? I must say that i never played the mod. So no matter if i am crouching/walking slow and i am miles away from zombies , they hear me or see me and start chasing me (thanks God i have fireman axe). Is it something that i am missing how to avoid zombies or they're agro range is big ? Edited January 11, 2014 by mikichan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelonelyone 103 Posted January 11, 2014 In the Mod, the zombies were pretty easy to fool, you could just crouch your way in a city and get all the loot. At least for me that was the case. But I think that in the SA they made it so zombies are more realistic, I must agree that it is too much some times, but now zombies are a real threat, you can't just sneak your way into a town, going around with the blind/deaf zeds. I'm pretty sure that they'll do some changes, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MurQ 33 Posted January 11, 2014 I think they only have sight working at the moment but its longish range around 200metres, its also like a cone so you can run up behind them. They can alert other infected. Currently they are not very good at climbing stairs as i think they try to attack you through the floor so never make it up. Its also possible to just run away, they are easy enough to shake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gray-z@hotmail.co.uk 84 Posted January 11, 2014 Some aggro from a fair distance regardless of what you do whilst others don't aggro until you're right next to them, and that's if they aggro at all. I wouldn't read too much into it as there is still a massive amount of work to be done on them. I'm sure things will balance out in the end but right now I'm liking that they are not as predictable.

InflatedLyric 39 Posted January 11, 2014 When I was sneaking around every square inch of isolated towns, I was having the same problem. I even tried sneaking up behind one during this period and still got agro from 20 feet away. Honestly, I think they behave so sporadically that it suggest they are not "working" appropriately. They can, however, be snuck up on, I have done it since. Get an axe to kill them with, step back as they attack and then rush them and attack. I am currently shooting them. Mostly for the practice, but I also have ammo to burn. Today I snuck into a building a zombie was in front of, only to get agro while I was looting. Kill them before they have the chance to surprise you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gugolas 228 Posted January 11, 2014 Don't forget that some of them seem to be able to see through walls and buildings. Even if they are better than mod zeds, I believe that they are just placeholders at the moment, and that there will be a huge improvement. We'll see! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toybasher 27 Posted January 11, 2014 Is it me, or are the zombies MUCH more deadly in the mod? In the S.A. they move slower then you, and you can use your fists which are surprisingly effective against the zombies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
