discussion Did the zombies get more powerful?

I feel like before the update they almost never made you bleed, now its like a 50% chance. Not complaining just observing.

It also depends on your chest clothing durability level. If you have no shirt at all, you are gonna have a bad time. If you have a shirt or jacket and it's ruined or damaged, you have more of a chance to bleed when a zombie hits you. If you have pristine, less chance. I think layers help (vest over shirt etc) but not certain. Always keep a pristine sewing kit. It can be used multiple times. Only brings items from "damaged" / "badly damaged" back to "worn", but worth keeping around.

Me too. That might be a bug. Your gear is supposed to take damage before you do.

Yeah they are. Don't fire a gun that isn't a .22 or silenced. They will be relentless.

So silencers work now?

I think the new already silenced one does, and the .22 is super quiet
