Use this to your advantage.Ī good way to avoid them is by sneaking. The use of grenades can stun zombies, as well as the use of a snowball, which will confuse all zombies and prevent them from attacking you for a short period of time. If you get hit by a zombie, it can alert nearby zombies, causing them to run over and attack you. They have poor vision, but can hear well enough to detect you, especially if you're sprinting and/or jumping. They often travel in packs, and run almost as fast as you can while sprinting, swim faster in water and they can also 'dive' to get to the player. Zombies are fast and dangerous brutes - modified by the developers to be clever, relentless and deadly.
