Are Barracks always packed with Zombies?

[freak367 24]

So I've been alive for quite a while now and have a lot of gear, including enough food, water and cooked meat to survive for a long time in the wilderness. I was randomly travelling North/West and I stumbled upon the NW International Airfield. (had no idea where I was going)

Now this thing has just been a myth to me since I have never seen it in person, so I had to check it out, and thankfully I was alone, I looted left to right and I came to the Barracks where I tried to sneak around the wall, but I got too close. 4 zombies came out of the door, I mowed them down with my Bizon SD but several more around me got alerted, so I had the amazing idea to use the Barracks to funnel them, I sprinted inside to find 6 more zombies just appearing inside of the little rooms, and about 5 more coming in from outside. Crouched at the far end and unloaded my Bizon SD on them, I won, but wondered if that's average for Barracks?

The Barracks themselves had an M16A2 and M1014 with plenty of ammo and a few other reasonable things.

Are Barracks the most zombie heavy buildings?, looting the Fire Station and 6 remaining hangers I came across maybe 5 Zombies which were easily avoidable.

I ask because I might do another run through of the Airfield at a later date to see what I can pick up.

You should worry more about players being there.

It was probably just a funky zombie spawn.

Oh I really was, I had a very stealthy approach, constantly on guard for other players, not that the Bizon SD could do much to other players mind. Awesome zombie killer though.

The Barracks had the highest concentration of zombies I had ever seen, in and around it, all military too. One of the few full on hordes I have taken on. I guess I was unlucky if that isn't the average experience.

I have about 5 smoke grenades so if I do another run I'll see what I can lure away.

It's not usually like that.

I have yet to see zombies spawned inside the barracks and if you do find them in there you could throw a bottle or empty can outside and draw them out.

After aggro, I have found that the large industrial building close to the northern barracks is good to draw the zombies into because it gives you a large area to pick them off one by one. Running into the barracks should also work but there is a risk of attracting other people and there is only one exit.

I've never seen zombies inside the barracks... always just around the area as normal.

Oh wow, I guess I was really unlucky in that case o_0, as I ran in 6 zombies were just in the door ways of the small rooms walking/crawling out, literally leaving me JUST the right amount of space and time to get to the opposite end to make my stand, since there was no turning back with 5 more at the door.

It was a situation I got under control, but it only took one of them to be in that narrow corridor to stop me in my tracks, then I'd have been screwed. With the zombies I lured out and killed at the door though, it means there would have been 10 zombies in the Barracks initially before I alerted them. That seems pretty excessive...

Either way, this is telling you that it is possible, even if rare, be more careful around them, thankfully the Bizon I had has 64 round mags, so I had plenty of ammo to sort them out, when I first turned and faced them though, picture the narrow barracks corridor with 11 zombies in it, the closest being about 3 feet from me, for the first 6 zombies or so, I didn't get the opportunity to pick headshots, I had to just mow them down, which burns through ammo.
