Zombies settings allow you to configure the behavior of zombies on your server. You can change the spawn chance, loot chance, and other settings to make the game more challenging or easier.

Spawn_Chance

Percent chance (represented as a decimal) for any given zombie spawn node to spawn a zombie. Value must be within a range of 0.0 to 1.0.

Respawn_Day_Time

Respawn_Night_Time

The time in seconds it takes for a zombie to respawn during the night.

Respawn_Beacon_Time

The time in seconds it takes for a zombie to respawn during a horde beacon.

Quest_Boss_Respawn_Interval

How many seconds it takes for a boss zombie spawned from a quest to attempt to spawn a new boss zombie. This setting is useful to prevent players from easily farming boss-tier loot.

For example Kaiser Zombie Boss zombie from the quest on Germany map.

Damage_Multiplier

Multiplier for the damage dealt by zombies. 0.75 means 75% of the default damage.

The default damage of normal zombies on official maps is 15, so with 0.75 multiplier the damage they deal is 11.

Armor_Multiplier

Multiplier for the armor of zombies when they are hit in the head.

If you want to modify the armor of zombies when they are hit in other parts of the body, you can use the NonHeadshot_Armor_Multiplier setting.

The lower the value the less damage zombies take.

For example setting this value to 0.5 will make zombies take 50% less damage, so it's like they would have 200 HP instead of 100, which is the default value on official maps.

Backstab_Multiplier

Multiplier for the damage dealt by backstabbing zombies. Backstabbing is hitting a zombie in the back.

NonHeadshot_Armor_Multiplier

Multiplier for the armor of zombies when they are not hit in the head.

Beacon_Experience_Multiplier

Multiplier for the experience gained from killing zombies during a horde beacon.

Full_Moon_Experience_Multiplier

Multiplier for the experience gained from killing zombies during a full moon night.
