Zombie
- Type
- Zombies (C-Virus)
- Chapters
- Prelude; Leon 1–5; Ada 2, Ada 3 (the Shopping District courtyard) and Ada 5 (from the helicopter and in the Quad Tower)
Weak point
The head (×1.5 damage); arms and legs take ×0.8
Tactic
They shamble in, then lunge at you. They climb fences, crawl if you shoot their legs, spit acid at range, and many carry weapons (pipes, axes, swords). If one grabs you, rotate the stick to fill the gauge in time or it bites you and knocks you down. Go for the head: it finishes them fast. Melee does more damage to them than to other enemies, so counters, quick shots and hits after a stun save ammo; the shotgun handles groups. A weapon stuck in a zombie can be used against it after a counter or a stun. Don't let them surround you.
Drops
Types: civilians, police, firefighters, mummies in the cemetery and the catacombs, armoured BSAA soldiers (they fire their rifle in inaccurate bursts of 3–6 shots, then drop it and club you with it) and dynamite zombies (the Leon Chapter 3 catacombs and the Quad Tower roof in Ada Chapter 5, where one topples the lightning-rod spire). Zombie Hunter Lv2 adds +50% damage against them. Achievement Zombie Massacre: kill 500 zombies. Playable in Agent Hunt.
