Do some zombies see much further then others?

Recommended Posts

I've become accustomed to prone sneaking through the middle of zombie hordes to get to where I'm going, and 95% of the zombies seem to never notice me unless it's day time and one is about to walk into my face--where I'm then forced to quickly dispatch him with my hatchet.

However, there is this one zombie--who might be in Solnichny or right below that--who almost always seems to spot me sneaking up into the hill side out of the little town there, and he's like thousands of feet away from me when he spots me sneaking.

It's weird because at other times I'll be running around to draw aggro from zombies to get them to follow me up steep hills so I can kill them by using their own rocket-booster power against them, and it becomes SO hard to get them to notice me! Most all of the zombies seem to just want to ignore me when I'm running around trying to get their attention. And then there's that ONE zombie again in Solnichny.. who always spots me when I'm not trying to be spotted...

all Zombies see the same distance, the reason you get the variation in detection is because the system now runs off of a % chance of being seen.

If there's a 99% chance you'll be seen from a certain position most of the Zs wont see you but there's always a chance one will be that 1% that does and he's the one that chases you from across the field.

This was bothering me too. I've had a zombie walk right up to me, and have to turn because I was in his path of movement, but not see me. But then a zombie I probably would have had trouble shooting comes running across the field to eat my face.

does the zombie standing/crouching/crawling affect their field of vision?

a lot depends on what you are standing on, different surfaces make you more visible.

What stance you are in, standing up makes you ALOT more visible

and which way the zombie is looking, if they are not looking your way then they wont (or are way less likely) to spot you
