A total conversion mod that transforms the fast-paced zombies into classic, slow, and terrifying The Walking Dead style walkers.

[EN] Description in English

This mod transforms the zombies into classic The Walking Dead style walkers. It removes unrealistic speed and special abilities, focusing on mass, shuffling movement, and lethal grab attacks.

Key Features:

• Authentic Movement: All zombies (including Infected, Thugs, and Screamers) are slowed down to a shuffling walk. Running/Sprinting has been completely removed.
• Grab & Bite Focus: Zombies no longer use "punches." They constantly attempt to grab the player and bite as soon as they are within range.
• Headshot Priority: Body shots deal minimal damage. Only headshots (decapitation or head smash) are effective, forcing tactical combat.
• Sound Sensitivity: Walkers rely more on hearing than sight. They will track your footsteps and noises from a distance.
• Realistic Physics: Zombies have increased mass. They no longer fly back from hits; instead, they stagger or slump to the ground.

[FI] Kuvaus suomeksi

Tämä modi muuttaa pelin zombit perinteisiksi kulkijoiksi. Modi poistaa zombeilta epärealistisen nopeuden ja erikoiskyvyt, keskittyen massaan, laahustavaan liikkeeseen ja vaarallisiin tarttumishyökkäyksiin.

Tärkeimmät ominaisuudet:

• Aito liike: Kaikki zombit (mukaan lukien Infected, Thug ja Screamer) on hidastettu laahustavaan kävelyvauhtiin. Juokseminen on poistettu kokonaan.
• Pureminen ja tarttuminen: Zombit eivät enää lyö. Ne yrittävät jatkuvasti tarttua pelaajaan ja purra heti, kun etäisyys sallii.
• Pääosumat ovat avain: Vartaloiskut tekevät minimaalista vahinkoa. Vain pääosumat (murskaus tai katkaisu) ovat tehokkaita.
• Kuuloaisti: Zombit reagoivat ääniin ja askeleisiin huomattavasti näköaistia herkemmin.
• Fysiikka ja massa: Zombit tuntuvat raskaammilta. Ne eivät lennä iskusta, vaan horjuvat tai lyyhistyvät maahan.

⚠️ Known Issues

• Scripted Scenes: Some scripted sequences (like NPC movements or specific quest triggers) may expect faster zombies. If a scene "freezes," temporarily revert to original files.
• Base Game Assets: The mod changes behavior, but original zombie models (Thugs, Screamers) remain unless manually swapped.
