How to kill gangs of zombies and packs of dogs. It is easier in A17.

[Wigbert]

In A17 you can for the most part outrun a zombie. You can outrun a pack of zombies.

 

In A17 the zombies and critters will not follow you very far at all.

 

Run away until they stop following. ( 300 yards?)

 

Turn around and get the attention of the closest one. Kill. Repeat.

 

I did this at night with running zombies and a pack of dogs.

 

I feel I can start clearing out buildings with confidence now.

 

TFP: Please don't get rid of this. I feel it makes the game balanced once you change your fighting style.

There's no reason that running from zombies shouldn't be a viable tactic. The description for agility even says the best defense against zombies is running away.

***SPOILER***

Large buildings are mini-dungeons now. You go in, you fall through the floor, you get jumped by a bunch of sleepers, you have nowhere to run.
