A more realistic approach to zombies

[KRAAYZiE 0]

Hello friends.

We all love how the zombies in this mod are all Olympic Gold Medal Runners and how they zig zag like crazy or how they die no matter where you shoot them....no not really. Well at least I don't.

Make it so the only TRUE way of killing a zombie is to get a headshot or destroy the spine. But even getting a headshot has a chance of not actually killing the zombie. Zombies only use certain parts of the brain such as the brain stem which brings me to....

Rule #2 of Zombie Land: The Double Tap.

Basically making sure a zombie is actually dead by shooting it one more time in the head. Make it so once you down the zombie it'll have a small chance of it actually getting back up and catch you off guard.

Shooting the limbs would either render that limb useless or make it less effective depending on what weapon you're using. Shooting the body is pretty much useless unless you hit the spine.

I'm pretty sure you can picture a lot of scenarios where limb shots will be more useful such as getting chased and your accuracy is bad for a headshot so getting some leg shots will be a little easier and probably more useful by slowing the zombies down and possibly outrunning them.

The reason I am suggesting this is to not only make the zombie killing more realistic, but to make them a bigger threat. Bandits seem to be a WAY BIGGER THREAT than zombies at the moment and by adding this feature it will encourage more teamwork and more of a reason to be worried about shooting someone and finding out that there are tons of zombies on your ass and they're hard to kill.

I personally have no coding experience so I don't know how you would implement that into the game but seeing as how rocket use to be an arma dev i'm pretty sure he could get it working like this.

If not this, then make the zombies a lot harder to kill in any other way because so far they're not even a threat to me unless I have no ammo.

I don't really think you understand the word "realism" but I do think zombies need to be harder.

How is this not realistic?

Id like to zombies lock you into a position, like clots from Killing Floor and do LOADS more damage.

Right now zombies do jack shit, and can easily be glitched into being entirely harmless.

Not to mention you can outrun them indefinitely and just look around for a steep hill or a building with two doors.

They also seem to think smoke grenades are some kind of delicious candy and will entirely disregard you when they see one.

That's if they even see you in the first place since you can just crouch walk through most places and they are entirely unaware of you.
