Unturned zombies

Every kind of zombie in Unturned 3.26.3.14: how much health it has, how hard it hits, how fast it runs and how often it spawns on each difficulty. Then the 48 mega zombies and the bosses, map by map, with the places they spawn. Read from the game files and the map files.

Zombie types

Each map gives its zombies a table (Civilian, Police, Military…) with a health and damage value; most tables have 100 health and deal 15 damage per hit. When a zombie spawns, the game rolls its type on top of that. On Normal, 62.5% of zombies are plain ones and the rest are crawlers, sprinters, flankers, burners and acid spitters. Easy rolls only plain zombies. The chances below are the server's defaults; a server can change them in Config.txt, and some maps set their own for some areas (by map).

Speed in brackets: with Slow_Movement on, which Easy turns on by default. Bosses, ghosts and volatiles have a 0% default: only a map, or a server that sets the chance, brings them. Damage is per hit before the difficulty's damage multiplier. A zombie in an aggressive ("hyper") area hits 1.5× harder and reaches further.

Easy, Normal and Hard

The difficulty (Mode in Commands.dat) picks a set of zombie defaults. These are the ones that change between the three; every other zombie setting is the same on all of them. A dead zombie respawns after 6 minutes, or 30 seconds during a full moon. An area holds at most its spawn points × Spawn_Chance zombies at a time, and the map can lower that.

Descriptions are the comments the game writes into Config.txt. Every server setting: Unturned server Config.txt.

Mega zombies

A mega zombie (the game's "special" tables) is a big zombie with thousands of health that throws boulders. It comes only from a map's mega tables: each area holds at most one at a time, and the next can't spawn until 10 minutes after the last one spawned or died. On a horde beacon, the last zombie of the wave is a mega. It drops 5 items from its table's loot. The toughest is Deadzone Mega on Escalation, with 5,000 health.

Health and damage as the map sets them, before the difficulty's multipliers. "Where" names the locations of its spawn points on the in-game map.

Bosses

On the official maps, bosses spawn in a few areas only: Cologne on Germany, where about 1 zombie in 42 is a fire boss. On the curated maps, bosses guard quest areas and bunkers. Electric, wind and fire bosses have 6,000 health unless the map changes it; every boss drops 8 to 10 items.

Ghosts and other rare zombies

Zombies by map

58,811 zombie spawn points on 23 survival maps. "Own mix" is the share of a map's spawn points where the map, not the server, decides how many crawlers, sprinters and other types spawn, whatever the difficulty. Those areas are usually harder. PEI, Russia, Washington and Yukon use the server's chances everywhere.

Health and damage of the ordinary tables, before crawler/sprinter multipliers and the difficulty. Each map page lists its tables and how many zombies spawn at each named place.

Loot and XP

• A normal zombie drops one item from its table's loot with a chance of 55% on Easy, 50% on Normal and 30% on Hard. Police zombies drop police loot, military zombies military loot, and so on: each map page links every zombie table to its loot table.
• A mega zombie always drops 5 items, a boss 8 to 10.
• XP per kill is the table's value: 3 to 100 for ordinary zombies on the official maps, 30 to 50 for their mega zombies. A full moon doubles it.
• Backstabs with weapons that allow them deal 1.25× damage. On Hard, weapons hit zombies with their player (PvP) damage values, and nothing stuns a zombie.
