Slow, but dangerous zombies. Inspired by 80's zombie movies. In general they are very slow moving, but they are unpredictable. They have short bursts of energy and might run at you when close enough…

Slow, but dangerous zombies. Inspired by 80's zombie movies. In general they are very slow moving, but they are unpredictable. They have short bursts of energy and might run at you when close enough or if you make a loud noise.

Zombie attack speed has been increased so they can kill more quickly and I reduced their sound volume by 50%. Now you can't hear them coming from a mile away.

This mod has short grass (DayZ default length). For a version merged with SmokE's High Grass mod, use this instead: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1660755046

Works well in combination with my More Wolves mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1655899239

It won't work with SlowZombs (or WalkingDeadZombies / JoggingDeadZombies), because it replaces the same stuff as SlowZombs, but it works nicely alongside HeadShotZombies and ZombieSounds. The overall zombie speed in this mod is somewhere inbetween WalkingDeadZombies and JoggingDeadZombies.

Server owner instructions

1. Copy the @Sneaky Zombies Short Grass folder from !Workshop to your DayZServer root folder. 2. Copy the ChopperZombiesShortGrass.bikey file from the keys folder to your keys folder. 3. Add "-mod=@Sneaky Zombies Short Grass" to your server startup parameters.

Good luck!
