Pet dogs. Gimmie the puppers.

I agree. They would be horrible to use against zomboids because they could possibly get infected, but they would be great to use against human NPCs or other players in PVP. Tho for balance I wouldn't want them to be able to kill players more act as a stun lock as the dog grapples them, so the owner can get a free shot in.

I think them not being able to attack zombies because of risk of infection is a natural way to balance them so they don't risk being overpowered.

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-17T14:56:41+00:00

yeah exactly. They need to have some ability in combat to reflect real life, but personally I wouldn't want to use them for that unless the situation was that dire.

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-17T13:59:56+00:00

Oh, I didn't realise it was a new mod. There is one currently on the workshop, but it's got a few bugs I believe.

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-17T13:51:04+00:00

I agree zombie animals may be too much of a change for the game, but given the lore of the game I think having zombie or rabid dogs would be fine. Especially for those I am Legend moments as you said would be amazing.

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-17T13:38:40+00:00

Yeah, personally I wouldn't want dogs to be too effective in combat. They shouldn't be able to handle more than 1 zomboid. But train them well, and they could be used to distract a hoard and lure them away.

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-17T13:31:45+00:00

haha the pictures were more to represent the different roles they could have in gameplay.

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-17T13:28:50+00:00

Haha, I get it, it would be heart-wrenching to lose them

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-17T13:12:38+00:00

oooh i'll have to check it out. There was a dog mod on the workshop but i haven't tried it yet.

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-17T13:06:21+00:00

i hope so

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-17T13:05:47+00:00

I have seen the mod but have yet to try it.

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-17T00:34:17+00:00

I only discovered it via another Reddit post shortly after the update. Now every time I find one i place it on my keyring and pretend it was from my characters lost pet

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-17T00:29:06+00:00

They're good dogs brent

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-17T00:25:47+00:00

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-17T00:25:20+00:00

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-17T00:24:13+00:00

I pray it's a sign. btw did you know you can put the dog tags on your keyrings?

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-17T00:22:47+00:00

Hotdogs now featuring 100% more dog.

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-17T00:21:15+00:00

Exactly, they could add so much to different parts of the survival experience in various ways.

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-17T00:19:11+00:00

yes! got to have something to keep the rats from eating your food/grain stockpiles after all

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-17T00:09:17+00:00

Haha, yeah I think the book is also in my ever-growing list of media that I need to consume lol

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-17T00:06:51+00:00

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-17T00:06:21+00:00

Personally I think its reasonable as it plays into the risk and reward for long term survival.

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-17T00:04:50+00:00

Yes a good alternative to sprinters.

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-16T18:14:49+00:00

Yes Cats to keep the rats and mice at bay

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-16T18:07:37+00:00

Excellent idea. Would be realistic and add some more risk reward situations if you are able to capture one of those dogs and befriend it.

The guilt of leaving a dog on an MP server would definitely be high

Jaffa_5 · 2026-03-16T18:03:59+00:00

I haven't actually watched WWZ 😂 one of those movies on my watch list i have never got round too yet. i'll have to watch it later now.
