How to Configure Leader Zombie Damage and Spawn Chance

Finding the Options

The mod exposes its settings through the configuration file, so open your config folder and locate the Zombie Improvements entry. Inside you will find options for leader zombie damage, leader zombie spawn chance, and a toggle that controls whether only leader zombies are allowed to call for reinforcements.

Tuning the Difficulty

If leader zombies hit too hard for your playthrough, lower the damage value in the config. If you want them to appear more often as a recurring threat, raise the spawn chance; if you would rather keep them rare, lower it. The reinforcement toggle is the biggest lever for difficulty: restricting calls to leaders only means ordinary zombies can no longer summon help, which makes normal encounters much more predictable.

After editing, save the file and reload the game or the world so the changes take effect. Test in a controlled area first, such as a lit arena, so you can confirm the new damage and spawn behaviour before heading into a dangerous biome. Keep a backup of the config if you plan to experiment, and remember that changing spawn chance affects new spawns, not zombies already loaded in the world.
