Zombies should be able to break open doors

Recommended Posts

I remember seeing some animations for zombies barging through doors a while back. I think it's a great idea, since it would make the infected a lot more dangerous. At the moment, the course of action for being chased by infected is to run into a house, close the doors, and pick away at the zombies outside with small guns or melee weapons. Making the infected able to break doors down would remove that scenario, and make dealing with the infected a lot more challenging. Lockpicks could also gain a new purpose this way by strengthening the doors that the infected are trying to barge through and giving any survivors unlucky enough to be chased like this some breathing room to prepare for a breakout or standoff.

Maybe … like around the time helicopters are in the game. Right now infected are so glitched that we're happy they do not walk through walls (at least not as commonly as they used to). In conjunction you should be able to properly barricade the doors and jump through windows.

Negative, houses should be safe. I would like to see infected climb on cars and barriers first so that players can't just kite them/herd them. Maybe if there were five+ infected they could barge through doors... It's an interesting idea and I am also intrigued by your suggestion of fortifying a door by locking it!
