Zed TKO

Assuming zombies have some amount of brain(you have to destroy it to kill em after all), perhaps you should be able to knock em out.

 

It could add a degree of extra danger if the zed behind you that you thought was dead isn't quite there yet.

 

Thoughts?

Sounds good, but it should be a bit more obvious, like they're moving around a bit before they get up fully, & they'd have worse speed (Sprinters -> Fast Shamblers -> Shamblers), worse hearing & worse sight.

If it wasn't almost immediate, it would be a lot like the new corpse revival mechanic.
