Are zombies really the hardest part of the game?

[Schuey 0]

I have recently bought the game, and have had the most trouble with zombies. They agrro randomly, spawn in behind me, can see me from yards away, and are pretty much invinceable to my melee attacks (when I can get a melee weapon). I also have had two times of spawning in and a zombie had already attacked me. Is this just the state of the game right now?

Spawning mechanics are getting worked on. They are currently some kind of POC. (Causing Zeds to randomly appear behind you)

Zombie AI is having some treatment too. (Causing Zeds to ignore collisions and whatnot)

 

Hit a Zombie with a firefighter axe 2-3 times and it'll drop dead.

 

Other than that, it's more of a difficulty to get people to not shoot you the moment you come out of your cover.

So that would be the harder part of the game.

The zombies are currently a work in progress.

Other players are the most trouble,to be honest the zombies suck(beign placeholders).

You can easily wait for them to get close and axe them to the head 1 or 2 times.

You can take out whole hordes that way.

 

(Also if you are not aware,right click on a T-shirt and hit the command "turn into rags" when bleeding status is indicated right click the rags and tick "bandage myself")

Zombies also die with one shot from any gun anywhere on the body, far as I can tell, so once you get a pistol you will pretty much never worry about them again.

 

Instead you worry that the zombie flipping out to chase you or the gunshot you put it down with might attract the attention of someone else with a gun...

Thanks for the help. The one time I got an axe was one of the times I spawned into a zombie, lol.

Quickly switch to first person and drop bombs on em. Circle around them and punch them in the noggin. They drop with one punch and usually stay down after three. I find this the easiest way to handle multiple Zeds as well... Just send em sprawling. Even if I have a melee weapon, the first shot is almost always with fists as I use the time they're picking themselves back up to get my weapon out. I've been enjoying the one-hand weapons as of late. The hammer makes a wonder tune when you knock them on the skull, and the stabbing animation with the bayonet, Kitchen knife, or even screw driver is also amusing. I wish they didn't have the ability to wreck all your stuff with one hit though. It's silly that you don't have a scratch on you but you're practically reduced to your underwear after a zombie encounter.

Yeah definitely keep moving as much as possible and just hit em with whatever you've got. For awhile I would just shoot em but now that they spawn all crazily I don't. Once you get the hang of it they aren't too bad. Other players on the other hand...
