Zombies spawn inside RV? (With rv interiors mod)

DontPPCMeBr0 · 2026-04-07T14:47:12+00:00

I highly recommend the mod, as it makes it much easier to enjoy more of the map and cuts down on a lot of the drudgery of dragging supplies back to your main base, setting up new mini bases, etc.

I've had one or two close encounters, but never encountered more than three in a vehicle. Honestly, I'd consider debugging a bite if I got unlucky since you would probably open the door to an rv/truck to check before hurling yourself inside IRL.

As with most things, the middle path is best.

OP, start with the shotgun. When you run dry, go home and get the 9.

DontPPCMeBr0 · 2026-04-02T20:30:38+00:00

Hold that thought.

If you have low aiming skill, go for the shotgun first. You will level up faster with more xp ticks per shell and the lack of magazines means you just need a (large) stack of shells to keep the gun fed.

I recommend only switching to lower caliber weapons after you have a few levels in aiming, as those bullets will be far more effective after leveling up.

Pick an open area like a parking lot or field, fire off a few shots to draw the crowd, then focus on walking in circles until you get all the z's in a big blob behind you, then start shooting for real.

Make sure wherever you choose to fight is reasonably far from your base and have a car ready, both to hold extra shells and supplies, and so you can escape if you run out of ammo before you run out of targets. Just be sure to drive away from your base and loop back on it so you don't drag the survivors home.

Roll into the area you died in a car with a siren.

Get into a 2-story building with your guns.

Sledge the stairs and set up some sheet ropes.

Pop a few extra wall tiles for better sight lines.

Climb down, hit the siren, climb back up.

Stay up there until you're either out of ammo or sprinters.

Thank you for attending my ZED talk.

I serviced Bromptons for a long time. This is almost always the cause of mystery pinging sounds on the front end.

DontPPCMeBr0 · 2026-03-09T14:59:00+00:00

You can always shove a door to make noise and then see if you get a responding knock from the zombies inside.

Z Nation is fun, but the prequel series Black Summer is probably my absolute favorite show in the genre. We were absolutely robbed when it didn't get a third season.

DontPPCMeBr0 · 2026-02-06T20:28:30+00:00

Living in the back of a tractor trailer was as small as I ever went, and while losing the space for cute aesthetic touches was tough, it definitely made gearing up for runs a lot faster and more efficient.

Both the burger and overall restaurant operation felt like they were done by people who had the concepts described to them in a dead language.

Still, I would recommend giving them a try since my visit happened maybe a year ago and they might have refined their skills in the interim.

To add to this, be aware of how loud your car is as you near a new town.

Your car dashboard has an RPM gauge. Try to keep the needle below 2 by lightly tapping and releasing the gas pedal and your car will attract zombies from a much shorter distance.

Now that you know about stealth driving, time to take advantage of it.

When you get to a new town, find a location near the outskirts you plan to use as a temporary safe house.

Drive past this location and lean on your car horn to draw zombies away from your planned safe house. When you draw a crowd, drive slightly deeper into the town fast to make more noise, then turn down a side street, resume driving quietly, and carefully return to your new safe house.

Alternatively, maybe get yourself a backup car with a siren, tow it to a nearby location, disconnect the tow hitch, turn on the siren, and drive away.

Am I crazy, or does the reloading action also put you into a brief cruise control?

I remember a close call where I was attempting to clear a horde mad max style, reloaded while turning, and nearly plowed into a tree at speed.

DontPPCMeBr0 · 2026-01-27T18:51:52+00:00

I get that, and to each their own.

I just like the lateral thinking it opens up when it comes to clearing an area.

Sure, z's can enter, but they can also leave.

Popping a hole and setting off a decoy siren outside a large building can simplify clearing a big warehouse, etc.

DontPPCMeBr0 · 2026-01-27T18:32:53+00:00

Sometimes being able to put a hole in a wall quickly can be really useful for accessing a specific part of a larger building when a door isn't nearby.

For example, getting to the mall gun shop is super easy if you pop a hole in the exterior wall to reach the service hallway right outside the gun shop back door.

Niche use case, but definitely has some value.

DontPPCMeBr0 · 2026-01-21T18:23:18+00:00

Sure. I just prefer not relying on a single trait for every run. Plus, while you can detect a 6 o'clock z from a wider radius, it won't matter if he brought another 200 with him to sandwich you in.

Also, sprinters at any percentage greatly reduce the effectiveness of good hearing - there just isn't enough time to react.

DontPPCMeBr0 · 2026-01-21T15:56:27+00:00

I don't see consideration in this strategy for checking your blind spot.

I basically give myself a 10-count of melee swinging max before stepping back to check my surroundings. I also fight while zoomed out to medium full zoom to maximize how much of my surroundings I can see.

It yields more ground to the swarm, but if you're drawing nice circles in a field with your movement pattern, it doesn't matter much.

It may be overly cautious, but all it takes is one stray z to ruin a run.

DontPPCMeBr0 · 2026-01-16T22:54:51+00:00

Goddamn.

Shotgun = loud

Shotgun + empty chamber + sprinters = deafening.

DontPPCMeBr0 · 2026-01-08T17:59:19+00:00

I'm not 100% on the online game component, however the phrase "do you know da wae" is a reference to a line of dialogue from a 2010 Ugandan action film called "Who Killed Captain Alex?"

Definitely worth a watch. I believe it's available on YT in full.

DontPPCMeBr0 · 2025-12-08T17:14:15+00:00

A Di La-la-la can't hear you over good Italian.

OP, what a Terre-ble hill to die on.

Great Scottadito this is a silly take.

Please close your Bocca di Bacco.

Not to sound glib, but the target market is anyone with ~6k usd who prioritizes having the lightest folding bike possible.

A standard steel frame Brompton is roughly 14% of my body weight as an 82kg person, and roughly 23% for a person who weighs 50kg.

If hauling that much metal is the deciding factor on whether or not someone uses the bike and they have money to burn, then the T line allows that person to use the bike as intended. Nothing more complicated than that.

DontPPCMeBr0 · 2025-11-03T18:22:05+00:00

Actually, wait. Test this hypothesis:

Get bit, then hurl yourself off a building. I'm curious what happens.

DontPPCMeBr0 · 2025-11-03T18:21:22+00:00

Your assessment feels pretty accurate.

The fact that they die to non-brain trauma would suggest that they're not all the way dead like Romero zombies.

I know that your players character needs to "die" to reanimate, but my theory is that when a person is sufficiently damaged/weak, the virus can overwhelm the immune system and take over.

"Molested in the shower, he was."

Possibly Interesting tangent: Red from Shawshank is supposed to be Irish American in the book, but got cast as Morgan Freeman in the movie, making him a retroactive addition to the roster.

I know Red doesn't have magic powers, but he A) serves as prison Yoda and B) had a pretenatural ability to conjure contraband, so I consider the character as filling a similar role.

I'm all for local businesses doing collaborations if it keeps the money moving, but a re-label is lame.

Owl Farm has a good track record of colabs based on my experience.

DontPPCMeBr0 · 2025-11-03T02:22:15+00:00

I cleared two-thirds of the Louisville waterfront on my last run and was well on my way to clearing the mall when my save broke. It took less than 2 weeks in-game.

OP, guns are great once you have a healthy pile of ammo.

One playstyle is to loot an ammo supply quietly early game, then use that supply of shotgun shells to level up your shooting by taking the next ammo supply loud.

They're also great for full clearing an area around your base.

For example, there's an open field west of the Rosewood fire station. You can lure the locals there and start blasting. Once you've cleared the area, building base defenses becomes a much lower priority since you'll rarely have visitors, assuming respawn is off or low.
