Helps me choose which gun i should ditch or pick up.

Excellent post Flow, thank you for your contribution!

Thanks for the chart! Awesome post!

Question: Is there any multiplier for certain areas hit? Will there be less damage if his in a 'non-vital' area, ie appendages?

Is a headshot always a one hit kill no matter the weapon?

these questions pertain to both Zombies and players

I can test it out for you, on the firing range mod.

Or you can test it out.

Very useful chart and very appreciated!!

hatchet FTW

Ive tested this out in game and these are my findings (just observations, no mathematical data to back up yet)

Headshots with any weapon seem to kill any zombie with one hit, with exception of the Crowbar (which to be quite honest, I'm not even sure if I was hitting it in the head or not)

Hits in the lower leg (knee downward) seems to be a lower damage point, breaking zombie legs. Even one hit kill(to the torso) weapons, when striking lower legs just creates zombie crawlers. Two shots to the lower legs still seems to kill.

Military Zombies seem to be tougher, 3 shots in the torso with a M9 SD will kill a regular zombie, while it seems to take 5 to kill a 'military' zombie. 'Military' Zombies still seem to be one headshot to kill.

Will post more data relating to players and zombies once more research is done. I'm hoping to backup this post with numeric data as well.


You guys rock!
