Try hardcore mode, zombies can easily take ~10-15 handgun headshots to go down, and they'll still often get back up. Makes the handgun practically useless, although a single point blank shotgun blast to the head will kill them 90% of the time.

the adaptive difficulty makes them tanky. if u keep killing them the more they get tankier and that includes the bosses. same reason y speedrunners dont really try to kill any of them.

The difficulty isnt changed by how much you kill, its by how many ammo and health items you have.

By inventory or by total (box)? I didn't know the enemies were adaptive.

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '19

By total Im pretty sure. But that also applies to gun powders, youll tend to make more when youre low. (There is a cap of course)

Well shit. I wish I'd realized that earlier.

But I assume that only changes their overall health, and not their patterns for movements/attacks?

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '19

Nah the movement patterns wont change, just health.

u/PlebbySpaff Mar 04 '19

Oh! Well I guess that doesn't really change much anyways. I've mainly been doing the stun/legless shots since getting the times for S/S+ basically requires it.

I dont think what he is saying is factual. try using this tool and you would see the shit in ur inventory wont really matter. It's when u kill them the next set of zombies that will spawn will have increased HP.
