All Zombies Types in DayZ 1.13 – Civilian, Military and Special Zombies

English Deutsch

Since DayZ Update 1.13 there are different zombie types in the survival game. In this guide, we will show you all variants, where they spawn, how strong they are and what makes them special!

That was missing: Many fans have been waiting for a long time for there to be something like zombies types — sorry, infected. Even before DayZ, the mobile game Mini DayZ 2 carried out this idea. But unlike here, there are about 10 different zombie species in DayZ, which we are now introducing to you.

All Zombie Types in DayZ & What Makes Them Special

This is how they are divided: The 10 existing zombie variants are sometimes not entirely different. They can be divided into at least 4 different main groups, then we start as the list says:

• Civilians: 3 types
• Specialists: 1 type
• Enforcement: 3 types
• Military: 3 types

1. Grunt Zombie

What makes them special: The Grunts are the weakest among the infected / zombies in DayZ. You can only find them in spawn cities, along the coast. They also have no special skills.

2. Regular Zombie

Special features & abilities: The “regular” zombies (OT: Regulars) are most similar to the infected from the previous DayZ versions. They are basically a stronger version of the Grunts, with more health and increased damage. You can only find them in cities further inland.

3. Specialist

Special features: You can recognize the specialists by their working clothes. You can also find them all over the map in certain buildings like hospitals, factories or the prison. They are just as strong as the regulars but easier to spot. The variants include:

• Nurse
• construction worker
• doctor
• paramedic
• priest
• Prison inmate
• Bikers
• mechanic

4. Runner

Special features: The sprinter or runner is a zombie / infected person in DayZ who lives up to its name. No matter how far you run, the sprinter won’t stop chasing you.

In contrast to all other zombies, who can sprint a maximum of 250 meters before slowing down. You can recognize the Sprinter very easily, as there are only two models in the current DayZ version 1.13. In addition, this type of zombie is the least likely to hold or distribute.

5. Police and Firefighter

Special features: The police officers and firefighters are among the stronger zombie species in DayZ. They can only be found in and around their stations. But there are even more variants.

6. Special Police and Firefighter

Special feature: These zombie types are basically just as strong as their normal brothers and sisters. The difference with them comes from the protective clothing that these variants wear.

• Gorka Police: You can recognize this version of the police officer by the blue tabby jacket. They can take 25 more damage.
• Heavy policeman: This colleague is wearing an anti-stab vest (OT: Anti Stab Vest). This will protect him from hits in the torso, so aim for the head.
• Firefighter with helmet: This variant also wears protective clothing. A helmet that protects against head hits and weakens them.

On the next page you will find all zombie types of the military and a special zombie.
