Do my eyes deceive me?

Are zombies back in DayZ? Is it no longer a hunger games simulator? My God.

[Yimo]

Yep, they are back . I finally have a reason to stock up plenty of ammo

Yeah zombies were added back in the recent patch, there's still not as much as they're planning to add for the future but you can find them fairly commonly.

The zombies in this patch are a major pain (Damn spinal fracture stat), BUT if you get them to swing at you and miss (Something that usually happens), they should be pretty easy to take down.

Throwback to when zombies could be one-hitted with a fireaxe and you could actually melee fight them

There back but I have only seen 1...

There back but I have only seen 1...

Just the other day in Zeleno I spawned in and killed about 5-6 of them, with plenty more around the area.  You just gotta go to the right areas and you'll find a decent amount.

Mainly around the major cities and what not

I was RPing with some friends, and the server re-started while we were in the middle of the city. When we joined, ther was at least 11 zombies chasing us, and there were even more around the town.

Zombies spawn in where players log in at. Usually 5-6, with 2 more spawning in per zombie killed.
