Bug Description:
Detailed steps to reproduce the bug:
1) Start game, play for a while
2) wandering horde spawns ???
Actual result: 3 zombie bears, 2 zombie dogs spawn on day 10, Game Stage was only 38. Best weapon at the time that I had with me was lv6 pipe pistol. (I have not found any real non-pipe guns except for a couple lv1 pistols, but that could also be bad RNG luck)

Expected result: Is this intentional? It seems a bit too strong, but I understand this issue could be subjective. I am not sure what equipment the game expects to user to have at GS38 that would be strong enough to take down 3 zombie bears, or if the intention is that some hordes are supposed to be so strong that you are supposed to run away?
