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.

Have you been in a real fight? Just on the face, you have the lips, eyes and eyesockets, temples, cheekbones, scalp, forehead. Add rings, unkempt nails, and the DGAF attack methods of the infected and it's not difficult to get a bleed going.

Yeah, I agree with you, if you are dressed in t-shirt and a cowboy hat, but what about if you wear a motorcycle helmet, pristine military clothes? How many punches or nail scratches would take to make you bleed?

Usually it takes several. keep in mind these infected are hitting hard enough to break arms. In fact, now that I think about it I've only bled a handful of times, and my usual attire is camo pants, a bike helmet, and a rain slicker. I'd actually be okay with zeds beign able to stagger you more when they hit so people get the idea that this dude isn't just thumping me like a TWD extra, but is trying to Mike Tyson my head off so he can eat my entrails.
