In Project Zomboid, one thing which a lot of new players struggle with or worry about is a horde of zombies around a building or their base. The combat system in this game seems to be hit or miss however with the method that I will show you that you don't really need to use the combat system at all when clearing hordes! This is a beginners tutorial for project zomboid as if you have experience in this game you will most likely not have a problem with just walking in and killing every single zombie.
Hope this helps new players and teaches you how you can deal with big hordes of zombies with no weapons and not even touching the combat system!

If you hold your nimble/aim button (right click) while moving through the trees they won't slow you down or tear your clothing, as it cancels that weird walking through tree animation, although unless you have a high nimble level you'll still be walking slower that the zombs just not as slow as the tree animation makes you

@Noughtical Год назад

Yep another great tip! My bad i forgot to mention this trick, always forget to use it though! But thanks :)

@sxcorpy Год назад

the best way to move in the forest is to use the "move to" command. The character perfectly bypasses (runs around) trees.

@Noughtical Год назад

Yep that also works too thats probably the best way to get around in a forest!

@STAIR_WAY14 Год назад

That's why I use Standardized nimble EXP mod. In half of the month you can hit lvl 10 nimble with just a bit of grinding. Truly a great mod

@Noughtical Год назад

Yeah mods which overhaul the nimble skill and other ones such as fitness and strength are some of my favourite!

@Noughtical Год назад

@whozyourdaddy 7 месяцев назад

I craft a campfire kit, place it down near the horde area, put enough fuel in it to last for a few hours, round up the zombies by shouting and shooting and then I lead them to the campfire, running just ahead of them to light it. If you keep circling the horde, they'll catch themselves on fire. It should go without saying that you'll want to do this in an open area so you don't ignite buildings. Also check the weather report beforehand. You don't want all your efforts going to waste if it starts raining. Is it a cheesy way to play? Maybe. But you're one against thousands, and sometimes you just gotta watch the world burn.

@spamton7321 2 месяца назад

This is 5 months old but you can pair this with 2 cars and sitting in a seat blocked by the other car, and zombies can't get to you, so you just have to wait as they burn and all die

@Iustusxi 13 дней назад

This is just how it would work in real life too. No matter how cheesy the game is about survival.

@punkyto892 8 месяцев назад

if you use right click and walk to option in the forest, your character will automatically avoid any trees while walking so it can be useful to either get in or out of the forest fast. just click walk to and the pathfinding will do the rest, even if you're sprinting

@Noughtical Год назад

Yep exactly there are lots of good methods to use

@raine6813 Месяц назад

the problem with the "just lead them somewhere else" method is that a lot can go wrong. you can run into another horde in front of you and get cornered (thats happened to me before,) a zombie could pop out in the trees and bite you, some of the horde can break off and go elsewhere, and on top of that they could just inhabit another area that you plan on looting later, or just come back. its not solving the problem, youre just making it so you have to deal with it later MY preferred method is the "campfire" strategy. find a big open field, light a campfire there, and lure all the zombies over the fire. walk around them for a few in game hours, and theyll be reduced to ash. problem gone.

@yesIfuckPigs Год назад

maybe you could burn the forest? simply leading them away doesn't seem like a definitive solution, there's zombie migration and the chopper event, etc, plus this would restrain your ability to use guns near this places when outside zombies migrate in and definately restrain your ability to do this process again, as if you go into that forest a second time you would be screwed. But its a cool technique anyway so great video!

@Noughtical Год назад

Yeah you could burn the forest but then you have a forest fire on your hand and that can get out of hand very quickly so that may not be an amazing way to do it. Yeah its not a definitive solution it’s more of a just quickly move them method! But yeah its a technique you can only really use a few times in 1 area ect :)

@yesIfuckPigs Год назад

@@Noughtical I never tought about it that way. Thinking about it now I actually find this really helpful, especially in the first days, it doesn't waste weapon condition, nor ammo, and it does clear the zombies pretty well. I apologise for my criticism

@Noughtical Год назад

Yeah its much more of an early in your run method as later in the game you can just blast your way through! And nah no need to apologise it’s alright you raised a valid point and the criticism wasn’t meanly worded or with malice so don’t worry :) It was more constructive criticism which is good :)

Yeah its defiantly something to attempt for the first time but I’m sure you will be alright with it, just be careful and always check behind you!

@Drie_Kleuren 11 месяцев назад

What I like to is get a fast car and then just honk and drive around circles and lure them away. Its safer but you will need a car and fuel... But after a few days you should have a car and fuel so yeah. Then when you have a scrap car or a damaged car you dont care about come back and run them over...

@Noughtical 10 месяцев назад

Yeah exactly that is always a good way to do it too!

@bergeracvandamme 8 месяцев назад

Another good tactic is to find a sacrificial vehicle with a siren, set it blaring, drive around slowly (and carefully, so as not to get swamped by zombies or stuck) rounding up all of the zombies into a huge horde before slowly leading them out of town like some kind of sick Pied Piper of the undead. Then just before you get to wherever you want to lead them to, speed up a bit to put a bit of distance between you and them, exit the vehicle with the engine running and the siren still blaring, and just run away leaving the vast horde gathered around your decoy which will not only keep them there for ages but will also lure in any others nearby. Or at that point if you're not bothered about losing the loot, you can lob a molotov cocktail into them before you run off, leaving the fire to cleanse their foulness from the Earth.

@davidnaude1087 Год назад

i just use Molotovs or Shotguns with silencers with a mod i think and i clear them out, or i light a campfire get a vehicle infront the house with the driver facing the wall and you start calling them and they wont be able to get to you while your in the driver seat and they will all die eventually due to catching fire and if you want you can leave the windows open and shoot them

@Noughtical Год назад

Yeah that’s always a good way to do it, this is more of a what to do if you don’t wanna fight them and you are new to the game ya know! But yeah that’s a great way to do it and that’s what I tend to do too!

@lime---green Месяц назад

good info, makes me wonder if a true pacifist no killing run could work or how long it could last

@TheOofertaffy 7 месяцев назад

This tutorial is good, however I do want to mention to anyone out there that zombie migration is a thing. Whilst you may have moved them. This method is a temporary solution. Some amount of them will move back to where you got them from because of how the game works with migration. A better more long term method of this, would be to get in a car (Maybe a throw away car, one that you don't care if it breaks) and honk around the general area you want to clear. Once a big horde comes and it becomes no longer safe to use the car, hop out, and start rounding them up in a ball like shown in this video. Once they are all grouped up, take a Molotov cocktail, and throw it into the ball of zombies. This is basically like the method shown in the video, but with a bit of fire. And if you do it right, you can completely avoid having to directly kill any zombies, and avoid getting exerted. Hope this helps. (this method also works really well if you have zombie respawn off as the area you cleared is basically guaranteed safe for the rest of the playthrough, not accounting for zombie migration of course.)

@bretmensen5306 Год назад

And then you break the window to get into the gas station and set off the alarm and they all come back. Or at least that's been my experience.

@altergeronimus1918 Год назад

Great guide. Perhaps you should do a comparison for kiting vs manslaughter mode and show which scenarios they are more viable to use? It could be handy for beginners who need to understand basic zombie behavior.

@Noughtical Год назад

Thanks and yeah that would be useful and I can defiantly get that done sometime for sure. Just show different scenarios and explain the best options and then methods to get there through for example killing them all or using alternative methods!

I said that you can do this repeatedly however to be wary of the zombie filled forest. I also said that you should wait a long time before you go back through that forest as migration and meta events will pull them apart and disperse them

3:40 - From there lead them North a bit, throw a molotov North, lead them south west, molotov west, then South East, molotov, then head East as you lose them and throw molotov near original entry point and leave. Then you've cleared the area and burnt/killed many Z's that you won't have to deal with later (by migration). 1: Area Cleared 2: Killed Zombies 3: Glorious Fiery Bonfire Always thought it a pity you can't pour a trail of gasoline that you can spark! :(

Ive tried this so many times and 2 things always happen. 1 i keep running into more and more zombies. Even in the woods. They start coming from everywhere and i cant shake them. A few stick on me and the noise they make ends up drawing in more. The other problem is after enough time spent trying to ditch the stragglers that i have. The original group wonders back to their starting area.

@caseygillitzer132 Год назад

I like to do this in a car with a gun. I keep shooting out the window and drive down one road staying on one side of the road. Kite them far far away turn around and drive like a mad man to lose them. If there are more you just keep doing it.

@Noughtical Год назад

Yeah that is also another good method to do it and yeah just gotta make sure you drive like hell and safely, just don’t crash otherwise you have got lots and lots of zeds right on you!

@akzolux423 5 месяцев назад
