Shooting Distances and Weapons

Recommended Posts

I have been playing the mod for a few days and would like to know how the weapon shot sounds work. I understand that the louder the weapon the more chance of attracting zombies are.

I shot my G17 in the middle of a city and attracted 1 zombie

I shot my M4A3 COC in the middle of a town and attracted 20 zombies

I shot my CZ550 rifle 250m away from zombies and attracted all 6.

I understand that the sniper rifle and M4A3 are loud weapons but how am I expected to sniper zombies/bandits at long range with a sniper at 500m and still possibly attract zombies?

Do the zombies that hear the shot come to the shot location or follow you directly ? Can you fire and maneuver and still remain invisible ?

To conclude:

How close can you shoot without zombies hearing you ? can you sniper without zombies hearing you ? How does the sound mechanics work ?

I'm not precisely sure about the range, but I'm certain zombies come after you if you shoot, not the position you were in when you shot it.
