I gotta couple questions if you people would be so kind as to help me :)

1. Can Zombies "see" the light from the flashlights and flares or are they like some animals who just can't see certain frequencys of light?

2. Whats the best place to find a map?

3. Is there a reason why i can't lower my weapon like in normal Arma gameplay?

4. Do i need to have chat set to a certain channel in order to talk to near by survivors and how close do i need to be in order for them to "hear" me?

1. Zombies will be attracted to flares and run to investigate, same thing goes for chemlights. As for flashlights i would assume the zombies will be able to see you easier.

2. The best place to find maps would be from residential buildings and supermarkets or from killing other players. Maps spawn in most, if not all "spawn areas" so you will have to look around.

3. Try to double tap left Ctrl

4. To talk to nearby players you need to have chat set to "group" the hearing range should be around 50m

I'm pretty sure Zombies don't see chemlights or flashlights (although they do see flares).

Zombies are oblivious of flashlights.
