New infected.

[mrjenkins 8]

Morning all.

New infected such as zombie Doctors which may drop morphine or painkillers when killed, also Mechanic zombies would have scrap metal or toolboxes on them. Have them only spawn in select locations, Doctors only spawning in the major cities which have hospitals and Mechanic zombies spawning around industrial areas in cities.

p.s my apologies if this idea has already been looked at.

It would be pretty good, but they should be very rare, and dynamic :)

When I opened this thread, I was thinking "Oh gosh another L4D inspired thread".

But this idea seems sensible.

+1 to this.

And yes the dynamic zombies would be rare/select spawn locations.

Great idea! I wouldn't say too rare as things like toolboxes and morphine shouldn't be too hard to find, but yeah not too easy!

Perhaps the mechanics spawn near village gas stations too?

This is a fucking awesome idea, dunno why rocket hasn't thought of this himself yet.. we already have cops who like drop pistol ammo and shotgun ammo, military zeds for military ammo and grenades etc. Should definitely be doctors.

Perhaps priest zombies would drop bullshit.

And rocker zombies will drop the bass (or skrillex zombies)

I like this idea. Variation in zombies would be great... Wouldn't mind seeing some shopkeeper zombies lawl... Just more variation I reckon :D

I actually think I'd rather hear a joke about a killed priest zombie dropping a child.

I'd certainly prefer it to you blatantly calling peoples religion "bullshit."

Yes, being a smartaleck is a fun hobby and it will get you far in life. Regardless, we don't need to be calling the faith bullshit in a place where the situation does not call for it; here on a development blog.

I was expecting another "Omg super zombies, omg smokers, omg Left fur dead" but instead surprisingly... I see a good suggestion.

Okay I'm all for this idea, but the part of it that they can spawn anywhere in the city that has hospitals I dislike. Maybe if a zombie doctor spawns at the hospital and walks very close to the hospital yes. But all over the place wouldn't be the best of ideas.

Medic Zed has Morphine and painkillers

Bob the builder can have a toolbox and scrap metal?

Things like that would indeed be interesting.

Note: I'd love a "Fake dead" zombie by the way. Lays on the ground like a dead one, and only reacts when you're around.

Thanks for the constructive criticism everyone, much appreciated.

I have to say i do like the idea, but imo there wouldn't be any reason for the zombie to drop any medical supplies if it just patrols infront of the hospital anyways. The reason i see a medical zombie useful (other than aesthetical variation) is if for instance, you are engaged in a fight, pvp or environmental and something happens to break your legs, you could get a lucky break and see a medical zombie wandering around which is much closer to you than the nearest hospital. I do love the idea of the medic zombies and engineer zombies having a purpose other than being aesthetic commodities, however i only see it happening in rare occasions.

Thanks for the posts people!

im sure like others i thought he was gona do some bull**** about fat zombis or some left for dead ****, but this is an amazingly good idea.
