vae_victis Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Zombies are able to grab or engage a player from what appears to be a further than normal range. I haven't noticed any obvious triggers for the behavior. However, I'm encountering this issue on a fairly regular basis when killing zombies vigorously (70-100 zombies / in-game day). I've included a clip below that might help understand the visual. If you can get past my lamentations, watch the zombie with the teal leggings. Around the 16 second mark, it engages the character with what looks like a tile of distance between the two. https://www.twitch.tv/vae___victis/clip/SpookyInquisitiveHamsterOptimizePrime If I can provide any other information that would help, please let me know.

Zaidah Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I second this as I had it to happen as well. It's hard to tell what triggers it (at least after you already hit/pushed them I believe), but it's infuriating when it happens for sure 😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaGrey Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Does it happen only when kiting groups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely when I notice it most; can't say it's the only time it occurs with confidence. I can go look at some vods to see if anything stands out. Just going from memory, there are a couple things I've noticed when this occurs: I'm predominately using short blades, I've already interacted with the zombie (stabbed/pushed), and it's most noticeable when backpedaling or kiting. EDIT: Happens with as few as 4-5 zombies. Hard to see what might trigger the change in grabbing behavior; i.e, whether it's the zombie being stabbed or forced backwards into another zombie via push/hit/stab. Whatever the cause is, it seems like the event switches that particular zombie's behavior/visual and they will continue to attempt "long grabs" when possible.
