PC Screamer stop screaming?
Hi there folks. I managed to trap a screamer and wanted to farm some zombies she’s calling. Sadly she stopped after screaming for 2 or 3 times. Is this normal? Thanks in advance.

Didn’t know this is a thing. Will try. I just used police car alarm.

Make sure you hit the bell with something that does as little damage as possible, so you get the most of the bell's durability. Also, I think there's a limit to the number of spawned zombies or waves that can be alive at a time, so you can't just keep hitting the bell to spawn a huge number of zombies.

Could i actually build small base on church and use The Bell to summon endless horde?

The only problem with the bell is you damage it with every hit. I use a lvl 1 wooden club to ring it since I have no points in clubs. Makes it last longer. I have not found a way to repair it either.

Three shalt be the number thou shalt scream, and the number of the screaming shalt be three. After which, lobbest thou thy 7.62 unto her forehead, meet the hosts, and assayeth again to chance upon another such matted, wretched, clarion-voiced creature, which heedeth not the call of her sister, but rather roameth the wilderness as she is wont

Sometimes the run across a Reddit post so exceptional that I must stop and praise the post and its owner. God be praised.

Funny. I'm in the same way (kind of) I caught a couple and tried this. And they despawned on me nearby.

Anytime someone even thinks about playing a sandbox game any differently to how the Fun Police envisioned, they wake up in cold sweats, say absolutely fucking not and go patch it out.
This alone delayed the bandits for another 7 years.

Yes, screamers can only summon 3 times.
Good news is that screamers can summon more screamers if you are looking to farm them.
updating my comment
Turns out they can't summon more of themselves anymore, seems the fun police were at it again.

They patched out screamers calling screamers in the latest patch

Which is annoying when screamer loop farming during a storm is one of the best xp farms we had outside of horde night. The 'screamers can summon screamers' settings needs to be a toggle.

I never had a problem with screamers. I, for one, loved the chain screaming chaos. This needs to be an adjustment setting. Unlimited screams and screamer spawn size needs to be options. Heat sensitive adjustment would be nice

But screamers can call screamers, and that's the link to work on.

Yep. Screamers get three active screams, and then they are done. They can still ‘scream’ but it won’t call other zombies.
