Zombie damage buffed not decreased

So better patch .44 I could take multiple hits from zombies without ever bleeding or my clothing being dmged .

Patch .44 mentioned their dmg was decreased.....but in my exp it is the opposite. I bleed from a single hit.

I have been fully healthy and had one zombie hit my arm and it broke. They also destroyed two pristine tactical shirts in a row....one I had just picked up to replace the other.

I dont mind them being harder to kill but it seems extreme that a zombie punches me and my arm snaps when I have taken 0 dmg.

With the Axe nerf I have resorted to clearing NWAF with my M4 but now I have to take on like 25 zombies...they come running at me from out of view even.

So it also seems like they are aggroing from extreme ranges.

Finally since the patch I am now slower with a full sprint then the zombies...

I decided to sprint away from a pack of five and they caught up to me on flat ground.

Fists raised gun put away and I cannot escape them in a sprint.

Love the game part of me enjoys the changes cause zombies were not a threat befre I just want to know if this is intentional or not.

You are getting hit while sprinting because they can leap at you while they are sprinting. This is something they could not do before.

Getting hit while.sprint from a leap is fine but I have had like half an airfield lead on them and have had them catch up to me and force me to take them out.

I know I need to LOS em but easier said than done at NWAF thy followed me though the trees even. I entered the trees while they were in the middle of the airstrip and were on my butt on flat ground in no time...either I have slowed considerably or they have picked up the pace.
