Zombies and infection | ZombieNationRevamped

The zombies on this server are rebuilt and buffed: tougher, faster, in packs that grow while you fight them. Some of them carry an infection that kills you if you ignore it.

Hordes

25 hordes roam the island, one per monument plus roamers on the roads. Brutes only walk with the roamers. A horde starts with 4 zombies and gains one every 2 minutes, up to 12. Wipe one out and a new horde forms 5 minutes later. A headshot only drops a zombie instantly from 60 damage up, so pistols and bows need a few hits. Zombies never fight each other.

Breaking a roadside barrel can wake a zombie inside it (about one barrel in four, outdoors only, never inside a monument event). It goes straight for whoever broke the barrel.

Zombie types

The first word of a zombie's name tells you its type.

Shambler zombie: a bandaged figure with glowing eyes and a knife, on a road — **Shambler**, 200 HP

Runner zombie in a hooded wrap, carrying a chainsaw — **Runner**, 120 HP, fast

Brute zombie: a bandaged figure with a metal bucket helmet and a pitchfork — **Brute**, 650 HP, x2 damage

Carrier zombie in a yellow hazmat suit with a red hood, in front of the satellite dish — **Carrier**, 60% infection

A barrel zombie climbing out of a broken barrel in a shower of sparks — **Barrel zombie**, 150 HP

A player's corpse in the grass, moments before it rises — **The Risen**, up to 600 HP

Infection

Some bites infect you. You then have 20 minutes of play to cure it with Anti-Radiation Pills, a Large Medkit or /cure (1 bleach) before you start to turn, and if you die infected your body gets back up as the Risen. The whole story, from the clock to the Risen bounty: Infection and cures.

Runs on the Town

While a player is within 500 m of the Town, packs of 3 to 6 Town Stormers rush a gate from 190 to 260 m out, every 10 to 90 seconds. They have 110 health, hit like barrel zombies (x0.6), take double damage from players and give up after 4 minutes. The guards on the towers shoot them.
