Killing zombies doesnt do anything

[nooblord 8]

Does anybody think they should increase the spawn timer on dead zombies? cause if you go into the smallest town and shoot a zombie, you will literally have to hold out in a nearby building for the next 20 minutes killing zombies.

they should make killing zombies actually mean something and not just "oh you killed me? np 2 more will insta spawn"

other peoples thoughts?

You know you can loot their bodies right?

This point has been raised in quite a few threads and I think it is something that will be eventually addressed. However you shouldnt be too concerned with the zombies closing in its the bandits honing in on your position that will kill ya

and the longer you're killing zombies the higher chance you'll die to other players. durr

yesterday I headshot a zombie and literally 2 seconds later another respawned right where it was.

Honestly, killing zombies should feel pointless. After-all, these are the same guys who over-ran the damn army. Frankly I like how killing a zombie is instantly met with an "Oh shit, do I gotta start running, now" reaction. Maybe it'll only draw one or two, maybe it'll draw an entire battalion; only one way to find out, and it's only worth the risk when you really have no other choice.

The whole reason zombies are a threat is their endless numbers.

Are you wanting zombies to be tougher to killed or more shown at a tiem so they don't have to spawn? The only reason zombies are somewhat dangerous is because of their vast numbers. That is how it has always been and will always bee with infected/zombies.

then why not just make them immortal? Im all for having loads of zombies, but what happens when i sit there for 20 minutes straight killing all the zombies in the town? Just throw the whole realism concept out the window shall me, if i clear an area, it should be clear for atleast a short amount of time, not as soon as i shoot one, 2 more appear behind me

That is where you are wrong. Realism in a zombie apocalyspe is an endless amount of zombies all the time. What kind of zombie apocalypse are you thinking of? You should never be able to ever clear out a town unless if you have a bunch of people with you.

Eventually zombies do stop coming. I would show you in one of my videos when me and a bunch of guys were stuck in a building killing zombies at the NW airfield but eventually they stopped and we killed them all for a short time.

honestly zombies are not a problem in this game at all. You can run from them, slow them down in building and run away out of the building if it has another exit. That or run up a very steep hill or walk down a sleep hill and they will run and fall to their deaths.

I think he is getting at how zed keep spawning right on top of you. IMO, zed should spawn back in but a little further out, at least in small towns. You can be in a small town with maybe a dozen zed. If you shoot though, sometimes you end up having to kill three times that many because of frequent respawns. If the spawned further away from the player(w/o aggro but moving closer), small towns wouldn't be swarmed from nowhere.

In bigger towns ans cities, spawn em close and keep the rush coming. You just shot a gun in a city full of zed.

Then he needs to be more clear if that's the case. Also if you shoot while indoors the sound i muffled more. Shoot out in an open field and you have a much bigger problem.

All in all,

it would be very very nice to be able to actually clear out a city.

Atleast for a short while

The spawning of zombies needs a lot of work. Primarily the issue of being able to spot zombies off in the distance and from that determine that a survivor is in that area.
