How much health do players have in comparison to zombies?

[Brutal-Hunter 5]

I was thinking about this the other day. For example the Makarov takes 3 body shots or 1 headshot to kill a zombie. Will these statistics be the same for a human or are survivors slightly stronger?

Zombies have something like 4k blood, while players have 12k.

Both a headshot and a .50cal BMG round negates these thresholds.

-note, this chart is from before the weapon nerf... Just for reference.-

It takes 1 revolver shot for me to kill a zombie regardless of location of hit

But players...i have unloaded all 6 into the chest and they still manage to get somewhere before passing out

i have no idea what the hell the australian servers have done with the numbers

Player has 12k life one revolver shot anywhere except the body does 1.389k of damage. So you need nearly two mags for kill or aim for head ;) Zombie has around 4k of health.

Use weapon chart for comparison.

Zeds have 4.5k blood (unless this was changed very recently) and players have 12k.

That chart is way off after the latest Arma update though, most the damage was lowered, hopefully we will see infected and player health reduced soon to compensate.

Edit: Although taking more hits to kill the infected does make it abit more tense, hard to complain about that.

Revolver and 1911 aren't one shot zombie kills anymore.

zombies are somewhere between 4001 and 4500 blood, not sure exactly. probably 4500.
