Where are the zombies...?

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, 

 

after a year long hiatus, I decided to try the game out again. When I stopped playing, there were a good amount of zombies. This time, I have logged a few hours and have yet to see a SINGLE zombie. Where are they? Are they currently nonexistent?..

 

Thanks for your time.

Zombies are in the game. You can find a good 4-8 in bigger cities such as Elektro and Cherno. But in the smaller towns, you'd be lucky (or unlucky) enough to find more than one.

 

The developers are currently working on two main things.

 

1) The loot table/system - That's a different story

 

2) Zombies and Server Performance - In the experimental patches before the .57 update, there were an incredible amount of zombies. I'm talking about dozens in bigger cities alone. Airstrips are somethin' else. But with the increase of undead, the server's performance went bonkers. So they are currently fixing the zombies, but they decided not to remove them completely from stable whilst they work on them.

 

Hope this answered your question.

They are few in numbers and no longer magically aggro on you from far away and out of sight. It's quite possible you went right past some or people other cleared your path before.

 

If you want to see zombies you can shoot a gun (the louder the better) and see if some charge you. But be careful their sounds are bugged and might come from a different direction.

Thanks, guys. I just got to a larger city (not sure what it is.. There are cranes?) and have yet to see one. Glad to know it's just something they are working on.

I know it can be concerning not finding zombies in a game that you know has them but sometimes they are just a pain in the ass to deal with if you don´t have proper weapons.

Zombies are not respawning, so if somebodys killed a bunch in a town there will be no more zombies there til the server is restarted. Also, Infected, not zombies.

 

 But just yesterday  I was moving through cherno and as I passed a wall theres a massive grouping of zeds around a dead player just around it. I snuck quietly away. Must've been like ten or twelve of them making no noise at all.

You should have aggroed them. One infected sounds like 3 or 4 now.

10 aggro infected must sound great. ^^

I spawned near Cherno a few days ago and worked my up north. Very few z's (i's ?)  so now I'm  used to not looking for nor worrying about them. Last night I was somewhere around Sinistok when 2 of them surprised me. No not surprised.. they scared the living daylights out of me!

 

My guy took a couple of hit's before I recovered. I ran into one of those storage units so I can lock them in but they just stood there,, one ran away. I ran out again gathered them up and back in the storage unit. Same thing. The z's could not follow me into the storage unit.
