Zombie Configuration

These settings define how the undead behave on The Endless Rot. During the BETA Server Run the Zombie settings are set to emulate a typical George Romero type of zombie.

However during the Build 42 Stable release the ultimate goal is to emulate Zombies from We're Alive and 28 Years Later with a touch of an Xenomorph This blend will truly be a unique and difficult survival experience.

The settings listed below reflect those used by the BETA server. Also note changes to zombies from special events are not listed here. Settings not shown here are set to the default values.
