Does Nemesis really need his zombies
I feel like BHVR only added them because it was a resident evil tie in but here's the thing.
1. Most of the time they'll get stuck on something and maybe not even move for the entire match because their stuck
2. When a survivor is hit they can't pass through them which means a survivor is stuck in an area free down which can be infuriating
3. A survivor is on a hook zombies don't die or anything so they can go there and once again free hit or down plus they just do his job
So does he really need them when he can just hit or use his whip plus they can body block survivors meaning he has to waste time killing them.

His Zombies give him the slightest amount of 1v4 pressure and some situational information. Better than nothing I guess.
I still would rather have the devs remove his Zombies and give him an entire rework to make him more accurate and unique

If they remove zombies and make tentacle only 2 hits, i will gladly take this.
And finally they can add actual add-ons for my boy.
Zombies are useless and rng most times. So removing them will be good QoL for Nemmy with tentacle buffs.

If Nemesis' Tentacle Strike contaminated Survivors and injured them, what would the point of the Contamination be?
2 -
Remove it? Simple. It is bad mechanic anyway and not doing anything.
0 -
Need them - no.
But they are unique and funny. I like them.
I only wish the wayfinding was better.
There was this simple idea that if they don´t move for some time they die and respawn somwhere else.

But then he'd only be a 1v1 Killer that gets outshined by other 1v1 Killers
2 -
I think the information the zombies give is actually pretty decent.

I'll admit to having some funny moments thanks to the zombies. I've also had some extremely stupid and frustrating moment thanks to the zombies as well. Both go for both sides.
They could delete the zombies and I wouldn't miss them, even if Nemesis didn't get an offsetting buff. The problem is that without the zombies, it's hard to give Nemesis a full slate of addons.
1 -
Devs should increase zombies to 4 or up zombie's movement speed.
Nemesis should can change zombie to NE-alpha parasite like this.
5 -
I get what everyone else here is saying but I'd be really sad if Nemmy lost his zombies. They're normally so fun and unique on both sides of the gameplay.
8 -
Getting hindered like wesker maybe
1 -
Hey maybe making contaminated to tier 2 and change1 zombies to that and tier 3 to 2 good zombies would be cool.
1 -
They should remove vaccine and put the rocket launcher into the boxs and give nemesis can use it.
3 -
Lets make more zombies with survivors.Instead of 3 hooks ,zombie conversion
1 -
Then they'd basically just be copies of each other
1 -
Not really.
Nemesis's 1 v 1 potential is so strong if it takes only 2 hits. And remember that, removing zombies means removing zombie add-ons. So possibly he will get new add-ons which makes his tentacle much matter. More distance, shorter cool-down etc.
1 -
Need? No. But it is kinda crucial to the RE vibes. I think that was the point of them to begin with.
1 -
So they're simultaneously too strong and useless. Gotcha. Makes sense.
0 -
I mean no if they allow him to use his built mutation to go into a charge like Oni mixed with legion without the vaulting and single health states per a hit
0 -
If survivors dont like zombies, I'm willing to settle for a rocket launcher
3 -
He does not "really need them" as, well, half the time they are not doing anything anyways because they fail to fix the common bug spots. That being said, they better not touch them unless they want to fix the bugs. Removing them for a salty survivor would make papa salty.

You can get rid of zombies when you pry them from my cold, dead hands! Not only are they good information tools, they also force survivors of gens, and use pallets.
Not to mention, I can't tell you how many times I've trapped a survivor between me and a zombie and got a down shortly afterwards.
1 -
Nah, you can remove them and it would not really matter. You get infection mainly from Survivors anyway and the Zombies are either hit or miss.
IMO the only reason why they included Zombies was because it is an RE-Chapter. If Nemesis would be an original Killer with that power, he would not have Zombies.
2 -
That would be nerfing his map pressure and buffing his chase potential. I think that would make his chase potential to oppressive. People generally aren't the biggest fans of killers that have nothing but power in chase, but with that power then being oppressive.

2 me Demogorgon and Nemmy are the same but one gets zombies one gets portals he needs zombie or he is legit just Demogorgon in every other way
0 -
I think a new zombie should spawn every time you hook a survivor. Then, when a survivor dies a zombie horde spawns and rampages across the map.
1 -
Balance wise, no. But they add a certain spice to him. Without them he’d be a hair weaker and a monumental amount more boring.
1 -
Yes. He has no 1v4 otherwise.
1 -
Apart from rare cases, They are useless i agree (Except with the movement speed addon, they could be problematic).
Tbh the times i used the zombies to my advantage for a speed boost is way more than the times i got downed because of them.
1 -
No they don't, All they do is raise their arms when a survivor is near. Most of the time they aren't even walking toward the survivor. If they made it so they always walk toward survivors then fine, but when survivors walk by them they just keep walking in the same direction, leading you to waste your time. Additionally they often just get stuck there. I have had many times where a zombie is literally just staring at survivors doing a gen and not moving for no reason.
1 -
No, zombies are half of the time very annoying and inconvenient for survivors. The only thing I'd add is give Nemi power ability to direct zombies, so they go towards designated location or patrol certain area.
1 -
This would be beautiful. Or spawn a new zombie after each survivor death with better AI/movement speed/field of view.
0 -
Yes, it makes him unique.
0 -
Yes. His tentacle isn't good enough to be his only power. I kinda wish his power was different all together though.
1 -
when infected you legit glow blue and cough, thats a pretty good reason to cleanse
0 -
Not really

Zombies are not that useless. They give information as to where survivors are, and can exercise some amount of gen pressure. I don't play as Nemesis, but in the past week I've seen a lot of them, and I was often forced off a gen by a zombie walking towards me. Or if two survivors are on a gen, one will have to get off it to lead the zombie somewhere else.
On another note, I'd love being able to become a zombie when sacrificed or moried by Nemesis. Creeping up towards my friends hehe
1 -
maybe you keep the small hinder when infected then
0 -
The zombies are by far the funniest part of his kit. I wouldn't want them gone ever.
Nothing beats a survivor t-bagging you at a pallet only to run into a zombie at the doorway and going down
0 -
There is no Hindered Status Effect when infected, that's Wesker's Uroboros, not Nemesis' T-Virus
0 -
I had just a game yesterday where a survivor was downed close to me, and i hid in some bushes right next to the hook, without the killer seeing me. However, a zombie just turned around the corner and hit me. yeah, nemesis knew then where i was. Also, its not so rare that you are pushed of a nearly finished gen because you didnt have a flashlight to stun the zombie.
0 -
It'd be nice if nemesis had even a tiny bit of control over the zombies. Like being able to press the secondary ability button to command them around.
0 -
No. Lets nerf or take away zombies so we can actually make his whip better.
0 -
I would love if it that happened during his T3 form, 1 meter on the tentacle does not warrant an entire extra tier on its own.
0 -
I like the zombies, they're a cool little thing that gives survivors to watch out for and interact with. They just need to fix their AI so they aren't getting stuck on things all the time. That's all they need.
0 -
Theres a reason why he has it, and its because his 1v1 would be insane otherwise
0 -
More likely adding hemorrage,mangled oblivious,blind...
0 -
Use pallets? No one use pallets to kill zombie they lure it or use a flashlight.
0 -
there is. its 20% when you get hit by his whip and it lasts.... 0.2 seconds and you get this legendary add-on to improve it to 0.4 seconds.
his zombies are decent anti-stealth and they can stall the survivor sometimes, but i would say their movement speed is too slow even with add-on's to be of much use.
0 -
Yes he need, the zombies are only good with addons. Nemesis is a underwhelming killer.
