Clear quest in the tier 4 Shamway Store

[RipClaw 310]

The new Shamway Store is a great POI but doing a Clear Quest in there is frustrating.

 

There are some zombies that don't seem to react to anything at all. I can make as much noise as I want, they won't come out of their hiding place. I spent half a day searching for the last three zombies.

Two were hiding in the false ceiling and a crawler was hiding inside a machine surrounded by an iron fence. If I hadn't found the crawler by accident I would never have found him because he didn't even move when I stood 2m in front of the machine and he wasn't visible on the compass.

 

Only after I killed the crawler did the other two appear as yellow dots on the compass.

Yea, I don't like that some zombies they coded to NEVER respond until you walk within proximity of them so they can jump scare you. I get it, but it's a bit annoying, it's not exactly realistic with zombies.

I understand the reason though. Otherwise if you'd shot a gun in the factory the zombies would come from the whole building. Have fun with 50+ zombies at once. Either you die, or your CPU does..

I'm well aware of that. But the factories are designed in such a way that if you follow the path you will come across every single zombie. But the new shops are designed in such a way that there is no real path anymore. In the case of the Shamway Store it is a gigantic room with a high ceiling. This of course causes problems when you set the spawn points of the zombie in the false ceiling.
