Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Are yours efficient when you play Nemmy?

In my experience, I get value every game with my zombies. (To be fair though I always give them direction)

    If the zombies didn't have perk synergy, they would be utterly useless, even if they weren't bugged to hell and have an AI model that's 30 years old.

    But I think it's part of the reason I love Nemesis so much. Sure he's not that strong, but his meme and funny moment potential is insane.

    Some games the zombies will be stuck looking at a wall and I'll be little more than a Xenomorph with extra steps and no mobility.

    Other games, the zombies will be at the perfect place at the perfect moment to basically carry the game by ending 3 chases early.

    The one saving grace of the zombies is that they respond to gen explosions/screams and notifications (Discordance, Dragon's Grip, Pain Res/Surge etc. All attract the zombies if they are close enough. Although due to being bugged to high Heaven it's not 100% consistant or there's a small delay) which makes them able to go defend important gens until your slow and stomping self can get over there.

    I honestly believe that Nemy only needs 2 things to be perfect;

    1: Update to the Zombie AI/Zombie bug fixes.

    2: Being able to sacrifice a mutation stage in order to temporarily gain the ability to sprint (something like Billy but a tad slower and no insta-down but better control) with a lenghty "breaking" animation upon stopping to give him a little more map mobility and ability to capitalize on long-range info (BBQ, FTTE, etc.) without making it a spammable offensive tool. This would also give more purpose to his add-ons increasing the mutation given by zombies, since after reaching tier 3, some add-ons essentially become completely useless.

    They should upgrade zombie ai and make change like if zombie is staing in one place and its not blinded it will despawn and spawns in 5 seconds this would fix the issue where your zombie gets stuck on hill or tree for the half game before you kill him.
