Handlebar’s Preppers aims to add a more interesting zombies that fill the “Prepper Role”. Unlike the Survivor zombies you find alongside roads in hordes, preppers will be dispersed among regular groups of zombies. These zombies will be noticeably more geared than survivalist zombies, as well as toting extra useful loot within their bags.

This mod utilizes Vanilla Firearms Expansion, Britas, Guns of 93 and Vanilla weapons, giving you another way to loot weapons, and find rare weapons that may not spawn in crates and so on.

Mod is mid game safe, to addon and remove.

Please tell me your thoughts on balance. To many prepper zeds? Loot unbalanced? Please let me know!

FAQ

Does this work with Vanilla, Britas, Guns of 93, Firearms B41 Revamped & Vanilla Firearms Expansion Yes, yes it does, depending on your version B41/B42, please use reference above.

Can I add/remove this mod midgame? Yes, of course, though you have to find a new chunk that hasn’t been loaded before these zeds will spawn, or if you have zed respawn on, they should back populate?

Can I configure this mod? You have to pick which weapon pack you are using, and you can adjust the frequency of prepper zed spawns.

Can I use this without weapon mods, just Vanilla weapons Yes, there is an option for that!

Which Option # is which Pack? Vanilla (1), VFE (2), Britas (3), Guns of 93(4), Firearms B41 Revamped (5), Guns of Marz (6)

I don't like the items spawning in the backpacks I am working on an updated inventory spawn list for useful items in game, let me know what you'd like to see!
