zeds with weapons?

[Arganth 6]

In this world loadet with weapons why dont give them to the zeds?

Zed-Farmers with double-barreled shotguns or crossbows, Soldiers with aks, policemen or civilian zeds with makarovs?

Think this would really spice up the gameplay against zeds

They should of course still remain "stupid" and have quite terrible accuracy but it would be a nice change from the usain bolt supersprinter-zeds

Also as zeds have to walk indoors its a lot more frightnening if a zed with a remington or m16 comes walking and shooting at you ^^

As the weapon damage is also quite low at the amount this should not lead to instant-kill zeds

headshotting players :D

Would also increase the risk to have a firefight in big towns as you then have many enemies shooting back at you...

(i dont necessarily want sniper zombies with camosuits and as50s :D we have enough of this in human form ^^)

edit: forgot the most horrifying hatchet-zed ^^

No.

To be honest, there are already zeds with weapons.

Other survivors.

[Huntra 35]

This just isn't happening. Zeds with melee weapons could be cool tho

[Verril1 1]

Zombies with firearms? And people think I'm stupid for suggesting melee weapns for zombies.

[PASTIEZZ2000 1]

Not the best idea!!! :emptycan: :huh:

I don't think you realize what infected/zombies actually are. There's a reason you've never seen a decent zombie movie with weapon wielding zeds.

[Dickhat 99]

Yup let's just ruin this game too. Just like they did to Resident Evil.

While we are at it let's put different zeds like the Tank, Jockey, Smoker...

Actually, no. That is silly. Let's not do that.

If anything all zombies should only be able to walk and only a really rare zombie should run. Really, really rare.

And they should be way more numerous. And not able to use stairs or doors.

The zombies can aggro over long distances already causing problems. Giving the thing a rifle would be a nightmare. Potentially infinite snipers everywhere.

Doors should be more of an issue, they should have to bash their way through them or something. Or the door will only give way if there's enough zeds pushing on it. So a door could stop/ delay 1 zombie but won't stop a horde.

Or maybe have it that they retain some sense of their human traits. It wouldn't be visible but some could be smarter than others and use the door handle, some could be stronger than others and smash their way in, some could be weak and dumb and just be totally stopped by a door.

There would be no reliable indicator though so you'd always have the moment of 'Is he gonna get in here?' *watches door as the handle slowly turns / Zed comes charging through it / gentle thumping and scratching noises *

Well they aren't zombies just suffering from a level of mental decay that's driving them insane, I'd say have some that are armed but in buildings suffering from very easily stages of the infection. That way they are stil able to function but they are highly aggressive.

Again people these aren't zombies rocket even has said in a number of interviews they are infected because that's a more realistic possibility.

[WaddupBrah 10]

Zombies are supposed to be primitive and have only the most basic survival instincts, giving them the ability to wield weapons; especially fire arms would be awful in my idea.

[Jello Jaw 11]

No.

[LT.Sacred 9]

I don't care about realism to the cent -.- I don't care if zombies would be able to wield weapons irl... I DONT CARE. It would ruin the game.
