Surviving the Four Zombie Types

Surviving the Four Zombie Types

Each zombie type requires different tactics. Spitters attack from range with acid projectiles, especially aggressive within 12 blocks—keep distance and use cover. Fatties explode when defeated, so either kill them from far away or accept the blast; they may drop gunpowder if they don't explode. Zombie Brutes are slow but extremely durable with powerful melee attacks and drop significantly more loot than standard zombies—use hit-and-run tactics or ranged weapons. Crawlers are small, fast, and can scale walls, sometimes spawning with a Spitter on their back—deal with them quickly before they close distance. Prepare armor, weapons, and healing items before nightfall when these threats emerge.
