Zombies

Currently in Zompiercer there are 6 unique types of Zombie.

Each one has specific caveats you must address to beat them...or you can just whale on them with a baseball bat until you get backhanded back to the beginning of the game.


 * The Walker - This zombie is the most common, most basic, and very easy to beat. With a slow movement speed and short-ranged attack, simply backpedaling away from the enemy and smacking them in the face will defeat them.
 * The Runner - These zombies are a little more dangerous. They can outpace your walking speed but not sprinting. They way to defeat them is to sidestep their attacks. Unlike walkers, who have a wide attacking cone, the Runner sweeps a small area in front of them with a one-two combo, easy to avoid by merely stepping to the side.
 * The SWAT Zombie - These zombies come with strong body armour and a tough helmet. Aside from this, they are the same as Walker Zombies, you just have to be far more precise on where you aim. You can knock the helmet off with enough attacks, but this will drain weapon durability in an extreme way.
 * The SWAT Shield Zombie - This SWAT Zombie comes equipped with a thick steel shield. You have to bait out an attack in order to strike at this undead, as it fully covers all but one arm with the nigh-impervious shield.
 * Spittoon - With large yellow pustules and a frail arm, this zombie doesn't engage in direct combat. Instead it hocks balls of disgusting gas or acid at you, draining your health significantly. However, they are, as mentioned, incredibly frail. A single arrow to the head will slay them.
 * Healthy Fellow - Large rolls of fat or perhaps muscle cover this undead, giving him an imposing stature over the survivor. Melee combat is ill-advised, as a wide sweeping attack will knock you off your feet. Arrows or bullets are most certainly what will be needed to avoid a nasty trip to the morgue.

If there are other undead, feel free to add them to the list.

=A few tips=


 *  The starting area has a bow, fetch it. You can use this to kill every enemy with relative ease, the exception being the Swat Shield Zombies. 
 *  If you are so inclined, try to learn the dodge mechanic (spacebar). This will be handy for avoiding attacks. 
 *  When a fight seems too much effort, simply ignore it. The second region has fireworks that go off after retrieval of a weapon. You can, however, leave this until last, grab said weapon, then immediately flee to the train and ignore all the spawned undead, saving ammo, time, health and durability. 
 *  For dealing with regular walkers, the easiest combo is one arrow to the head, then one spiked bat swing to the face. It will kill them just like that. Alternatively, for those less melee-inclined, two arrow headshots will also kill them. 
 *  To make it easier to kill a zombie with a shield, break both of its arms...savage.
