Zombita Boss System — State of Undead Purge

Five boss zombies for Build 42, each with its own look, animations, sounds, abilities and loot. No dependencies.

Workshop ID: 3816213269 Mod ID: ZombitaBoss

Every boss

• Health bar on screen with its state (STABLE, WOUNDED, CRITICAL) and what it is doing right now (CHARGING!, SLAM - GET OUT!, BREAKING THROUGH 2/3...)
• Its own animations, made for this mod: charge, slam, spit, scream, ground pound, strike
• Hard to stun-lock: shots and hits only make it flinch; a real stagger only lands on a failed resistance roll, then it is immune for a few seconds
• Knock it down and it is back up in about a second - with a ground pound that knocks over everyone close to it. Hits on a downed boss barely hurt, and it cannot be finished off with knife or spear executions
• Fences, doors and windows do not save you: a boss stuck behind one hammers it and breaks through on the third strike (building walls still hold)
• Enraged below 25% health: hits harder
• Its hits land on a body part and your clothing armour absorbs part of them

THE TANK - 300 HP

Bloated, slow, and built like a wall. Melee and normal ammunition only do 10% damage; armor-piercing rounds (from firearm mods) and explosives do full damage.

• Charge: it roars, stomps and drops into a bull stance, then charges in a straight line. Sidestep it. If it hits you it knocks you flying; if it slams into a wall it is stunned and takes full damage from any gun. Fences and doors in its way get smashed
• Ground slam: get close and a red zone appears on the ground. When the fists come down a shockwave knocks over everyone still inside

THE BRIDE - 220 HP

Sits against a wall, crying. Don't startle her.

• Wakes with a banshee shriek and sprints twice as fast as any sprinter - and she never trips
• Bites fast and hard; her wounds can bleed

THE PATIENT - 240 HP

Slow and tough - and any scratch, cut or bite from it is a guaranteed infection.

• Acid spit: it rears back, retches and hurls a glob of bile in a cone. A direct hit burns you and your gear, and the puddles keep burning for 18 seconds

THE SCREAMER - 120 HP

Every 15 seconds while anyone is near, it screams.

• Every zombie in a huge radius comes running
• Each scream calls a fresh horde from about 75 tiles out in every direction - a few of them sprinters. Its death scream calls one last wave

THE HAZMAT - 180 HP

Extremely slow, wrapped in a toxic cloud.

• The gas kills in seconds near its center and thins out toward the edge. A gas mask cuts it to a tenth, a hazmat suit to half - but within melee range even a mask only half-helps
• Its hits melt a piece of your clothing, and its acid eats any blade you swing at it
• You hear its respirator before you see it

Where they come from

• In the world: bosses turn up on their own near players - out of sight, never inside a safehouse, never two in the same area. About one every in-game day per player or group by default; each boss can be switched off and the rate tuned in the sandbox
• Admins: right-click the ground > Zombita Bosses > Spawn / Remove nearest / Remove all. In multiplayer only admins see this menu; in singleplayer it is behind a sandbox option (or debug mode)
• Optional fixed spawn points with a respawn timer, and ZBoss.SpawnBoss for other mods

Loot

The killer gets the boss's loot: the Tank drops ammunition, a sledgehammer or a pipe bomb; the Bride her dress, veil and jewelry; the Patient antibiotics, bandages and first aid; the Screamer ear muffs, shells, 9mm and a machete; the Hazmat a gas mask, filters and a hazmat suit.

Sandbox options (page Zombita Bosses)

Natural spawns on/off, hours between appearances, most bosses at once, each boss on/off, spawn menu in singleplayer, boss HP multiplier, boss damage multiplier, reward multiplier, Tank damage from normal ammunition, Tank damage from melee, scream radius, toxic cloud radius, fixed spawns and respawn hours.

Compatibility

• Build 42.21. Singleplayer and multiplayer (multiplayer support is new - please report anything odd)
• No dependencies
• Works alongside clothing / outfit mods that re-dress zombies
• Armor-piercing ammo from firearm mods counts against the Tank (ammo names containing AP, FMJ, penetrator, steel core, tungsten, sabot, slug...)

For server owners and modders

The mod has no currency of its own. Every defeated boss fires a server-side Lua event, so your own economy or quest mod can pay rewards:

Events.OnZombitaBossDefeated.Add(function(info)
    -- info.boss, info.name, info.killer, info.assists, info.contributors (damage per player),
    -- info.bounty (suggested amount), info.items, info.x / info.y / info.z
end)

Spawn from code with ZBoss.SpawnBoss(type, x, y, z) - type is tank, bride, patient, screamer or hazmat.
