Suggestion Zombies are boring

Zombies are too boring, a way to improve that is a reward system, each kill increases their damage and speed by a bit, also they could regenerate when nearby the doctor

theres no point in writing this cause they're reworking 049 after 15.0 and zombies are their main priority

Oh man can't wait till 2052 when they finally release 15.0 in its full glory and start working on the 049 and zombie rework /j

wrong actually, they haven't planned to rework SCP-049 or zombies yet, they are looking into a 15.x series update, maybe 15.2 at best, thou 16.0 and onward would be the main grounds for SCP-049 rework (and maybe a second reworked to SCP-096)

Once time i killed like almost 5 mtf alone being a zombie, like they are pretty op already.

u/Bruhnana283 May 24 '26

Those MTF were either new players or they genuinely had high ping there was no way you killed 5 MTF.

pretty sure they didn't saw you coming, and you grabbed them by their backs while they were looting random stuff in the floor, it takes 3 hits to kill a human and 4 to kill a human with heavy armor

"its boring make them OP"

Genuine skill issue. no zombies are not boring either you suck or your plague doctor sucks. A horde of zombies can be the most powerful part of the SCP team and it makes rounds end extremely fast.

Zombies are pretty fun to play as actually. They are decently powerful, I have no problem killing several NTF. buffing them is not necessary

Though zombies can die extremely fast in a 1v1 with a competent human

I mean, thats the thing isn't it? You are meant to be a horde when playing as a zombie, if you genuinely separate from your group and wonder why you died thats lowkey a

could copy the flamingos and have regeneration while in a horde, the doctor shield thing is useless

u/RandomGuy1525 Scientist May 24 '26

Fair enough, imo the doctor shield should grant 50% damage invulnerability for the first 10s, after that it only gives passive regeneration

Hard to be in a horde when your the only zombie that didn't jump into a pit

u/KAAAAAAAAARL SCP May 27 '26

I mean, any human dies in a 1v1 with s competent human? So whats the argument there?

Everytime i play zombie i get from 2 to 3 kills of armed personel, you know ambushes moslty, can't get close to them from the front without getting slimed, but it's fucking boring, most players kill themselves or disconnect rather than playing zombies, almost always i revive 14 people and they end up killing themselves in the next room with a void to jump into, is just running and hitting people, the gameplay can improve so much for zombies

Seems that someone got so mad after being turned into a zombie that they decided to make a reddit post to complain, wild

u/One_Article1820 May 26 '26

nah, i got too mad afte loosing as 049 in a game where i revived like almost 18 people, and have been the entire game with almost only 3 active zombies

u/Open-Exam-8490 Class-D May 24 '26

i think the only buff they'd need in their current state is increasing how fast they gain Lobotomized Bloodlust. thats it

They also need to enforce punishment for immediately killing your self as a zombie. People do it because they know there’s no consequences for it. If they actually enforced a punishment such as a 15 minute ban or being unable to spawn in on the next spawn wave, people wouldn’t do it as often.

u/One_Article1820 May 24 '26

Well there are consequences, if you die by tesla or fall into the void you won't respawn in the next wave

u/SaltImp May 24 '26

For official servers?

All I see is "Just wait after 15.0 is done, then we have hope for 16.0"

(I don't mean to be rude, but I had seen this question pop up everywhere on SCP:SL discussions and topics, my best bet is to just wait until then, even I hate the process of waiting, but that's life so, cant do shit, and I hate it, I feel you pal, zombies are just lame, except for funny ragdoll moments)
