Special Infected zombies in 7 Days to Die are characterized by distinctive abilities that set them apart from regular undead. These formidable creatures are more likely to appear in your 7 Days to Die Server during blood moon horde events, happening every seven days. Special Infected pose a significant threat due to their heightened danger level.
Engaging them without proper preparation can lead to swift player demise, given their potent abilities. Exercise caution and ensure thorough readiness before confronting these formidable adversaries.
Burn Victims
A distinctive category of zombie exclusive to the Burnt Forest biome and occasionally encountered in Blood Moon hordes, Burn Victims exhibit a profound influence from their surroundings, resembling burning, charred wood. Similar to Frozen Lumberjacks, these zombies undergo significant biome-induced alterations.
Typically roaming near roads or abandoned shacks within the Burnt Forest, Burn Victims adeptly blend into their fiery environment, requiring travelers to stay vigilant for subtle movements in their territory.
Their presence is announced by hoarse moans and a constant crackling sound reminiscent of lit torches or campfires, providing players with an audible warning long before they enter their field of view. This auditory cue serves as an opportunity for players to prepare, as while Burn Victims deal standard damage per hit, there is a chance that every successful attack may set players ablaze. Being attuned to these distinct sounds becomes crucial for survival when navigating their fiery domain.
Crawler
A crawler is a specific type of zombie in 7 Days to Die characterized by its distinctive method of movement. Unlike upright zombies, crawlers navigate on all fours, using their hands and arms to drag themselves across the ground. These zombies often exhibit a more decayed and contorted appearance, reflecting their adaptation to this crawling posture.
Crawlers can be encountered in various environments, and their low profile can make them harder to detect, especially in dimly lit or cluttered areas. Despite their slower pace compared to upright zombies, crawlers can pose a unique threat, particularly when hiding among groups of other undead. Players need to remain vigilant and adapt their combat strategies to effectively deal with these crawling adversaries in the post-apocalyptic world of 7 Days to Die.
Demolishers
A special and highly destructive type of zombie in 7 Days to Die. They are characterized by their imposing size, bulging muscles, and a distinctive red hue, setting them apart from standard zombies. Demolishers live up to their name by carrying large amounts of explosive material strapped to their bodies.
When a player comes into close proximity, or if damaged, Demolishers have the potential to detonate, causing a massive explosion that can cause substantial damage to structures and players alike. Their destructive nature makes them particularly formidable adversaries, requiring careful strategy and preparation when encountered.
It's advisable to keep a safe distance and utilize ranged attacks or explosives to defeat Demolishers from afar to avoid the devastating consequences of their explosive demise. As the game may have received updates or changes since my last knowledge update, checking the latest game resources or community forums for any modifications to the Demolisher zombies is recommended.
Feral Wights
Unlike typical zombies, Feral Wights remain impervious to the influence of daylight, allowing them to pursue players relentlessly at any hour. Possessing heightened stature and strength compared to their undead counterparts, they prove challenging and perilous adversaries. Their formidable strength poses a significant threat to player-built structures, enabling them to swiftly dismantle walls. Residents of Wasteland Towns should fortify themselves adequately to repel the potential threat posed by a Feral Wight.
Engaging them in close combat is strongly discouraged; instead, high-powered weaponry such as Hunting or Sniper Rifles, especially in high-quality versions, can effectively neutralize them with a well-placed shot. Alternatively, the application of spike traps can reduce Feral Wights to crawlers, slowing them down and simplifying their elimination. However, caution is advised due to their extended arm reach, requiring players to maintain a safe distance when opting for melee strikes to conserve ammunition.
Infected Police Officers
The Infected Police Officer is a unique zombie variant commonly encountered in cities, suburbs, and wastelands, with occasional spawns of one to two in Police Stations. Notably, those found in Police Stations do not seem to respawn. Recognized for their elevated health and the destructive capability of their acidic vomit, these zombies present a formidable challenge.
Identification is relatively straightforward due to their grotesque, disproportionate appearance and distinctive police uniform. Despite their sluggish movement attributed to bloated features, their acid attack can cover extensive distances. Alongside their physical traits, Infected Police Officers are characterized by repulsive burps, gurgles, and various vomiting sounds during engagements with players.
As their health diminishes, marked by a faint, rapid heartbeat and wheezing, Infected Police Officers adopt a sprinting approach towards players. In a desperate attempt to cause maximum destruction, if they reach the player, they initiate a self-destructive explosion, dealing substantial damage to nearby blocks and almost invariably resulting in the player's demise if within range.
Spider
Spider Zombies stand out due to their distinct four-legged posture resembling a spider. They possess the ability to climb walls and navigate obstacles with ease, making them agile and challenging adversaries. Typically, these zombies are encountered in various environments, including urban areas, towns, and during horde events.
Their unique crawling ability allows them to scale structures and pose a threat from unexpected angles. In combat, Spider Zombies can be particularly challenging due to their agility and climbing capabilities.
For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding Spider Zombies in 7 Days to Die, it is recommended to check the latest game resources, community forums, or official patch notes, as game content may have evolved since my last update.
Screamer
Screamers are typically female zombies with a distinct red dress and long, dishevelled hair. They are notable for their ability to emit loud, piercing screams that attract hordes of zombies to the player's location.
When a Screamer detects a player or a heat source generated by various activities (such as using forges or campfires), it will unleash its piercing scream. This attracts additional zombies to the area, creating a more significant threat for the player. Screamers are often considered a priority target, as eliminating them promptly can help prevent the escalation of zombie hordes.
Their presence adds an element of strategy to the gameplay, requiring players to manage heat sources cautiously and deal with Screamers efficiently to avoid overwhelming encounters with larger zombie groups. As with any game, details may have evolved with updates, so it's recommended to check the latest game resources or community forums for the most accurate and current information.
Team Z Player Football
The Team Z Player Football Zombie stands out as a distinctive zombie variant. Having succumbed to the infection long ago, their bodies now show advanced signs of decomposition. Nevertheless, driven by the insatiable desire to hunt humans, they continue their relentless pursuit.
The male counterparts in this variant sport football helmets, providing them with a degree of protection against headshots. These zombies exhibit a unique behavior, initially walking towards their target and then transitioning into a charging motion. Additionally, they boast higher health compared to standard zombies, making them more formidable adversaries.
A female version of the Team Z Player Football Zombie also exists, with health levels akin to those of a regular zombie. Despite the variations, both male and female zombies in this category remain committed to their quest for human prey in the post-apocalyptic world.
