Can I Survive SPRINTERS In Project Zomboid? | Project Zomboid Sprinters Only Challenge

[@HarrisonRocks]

I play what i think of as "I Am Legend" Mode where it's sprinter zombies but they're only active at night. Can spend the day looting and picking zombies off before rushing home before 8pm. Gets very tense, especially if you crash on the way home and have sneak back before nightfall.

[@menh292]

That sounds awesome! Can I ask for your world settings?

[@HarrisonRocks]

@@menh292 Sure, canonically the virus hits around the 6-7 July so I start the game a day later with abundant loot and regular helicopters/events. Virus transmission is bites only, zombie type is sprinters with super strength and only active at night and I always start injured and in a doctor's office (like how 28 days later starts). That's how I play but there's so many options I'd recommend playing with the settings menu and seeing what's the most fun for you.

then theres me spawning as a electrician and finding 2 generators in neighbors garages 💀

[@BubblegumDog_]

@kailen You'll always get fucked trying to find a sledgehammer though. At least I do. I've played for over 50 hours and I have never found a sledgehammer in the game. I'm seriously considering that the spawning might be bugged. 50 hours isn't a lot compared to most people who play this game of course. But 50 hours is just way too long without being able to find of the most useful items in the game. I did regret not having chosen electrician though. Scoured through literally all houses and libraries, or places with bookshelves in west point and didn't found a single magazine. I then read you could find them in mailboxes, so went through all houses again and eventually found it. But jesus christ...

I kinda wish that they added a type of zombie between “Fast Shamblers” and “Sprinters”. Like, a zombie that you could outrun by jogging, but still had to move faster then a simple walk to avoid.

[@tonybambino1445]

The mod slower sprinters is for you, there are pre sets for what you just described

[@BLACK80085]

Yeah this type named Lunger for example.

[@Chakallbitu]

A run with the strongest, best hearing, sight and memory but slowest zombies, population and respawn cranked up to 11 would be a fun challenge! One would think that it's easy but you end up not being able to visit some places at all unless very well prepared

[@captaincapitalis1205]

Ooh I might have to try it. Def a Riverside run though

[@jackhazardous4008]

I love the high population settings, they just stressful weaving through hordes at a full sprint

[@w花b]

@Quandale Dingle The 3rd yep

[@TheMajorpickle01]

I've tried it, but honestly when you have shamblers you just lure them out with alarms and never fight as you can walk away even when exhausted. It's frustrating more than fun

[@sleepydee1745]

Another great way to play is use rewarding night combat along with night time sprinters. You can use the dying light night sounds mod to add some extra fear. The zombies have normal hearing, poor sight, normal toughness and strength, plus fast shambles during the day. But during the night they have pinpoint hearing, great sight, tough, extra strength, and obviously sprint. Night fall changes depending on the seasons so you’ll have to adapt to the time change as well. I personally play with damage severity set to high and no infection for the player. Being the last person alive but immune to the disease.

[@JoshPrice1]

Just wanted to say I appreciate everything you do on this channel and you're the reason I gave this game a chance. On a side note in reference to any content you are planning or if you are looking for ideas for new videos, I think a good challenge would be if you make the zombie pop 5-10% sprinters and leave the rest as fast shamblers but increase the overall pop and memory of the zombies. In my opinion this would create the additional problem of you having to defend your property if an area has not been cleared and it adds increased intensity since you cant always expect to be allowed to just turn and shoot because of the sprinters, additionally I think this would remove the bug problem or lighten it at the very least ( the bug I'm referring too is the zombies tripping over one another when sprinting after a grab attempt) I know this is a long read but if you're still here at the end whoever you are I'd love to hear your input and if you're reading this Predz big thanks to you no matter what you decide to do for your future series!

[@adrielanonymous]

I've been following 3 zomboid series and this include yours, you guys doing three different runs and I enjoy most of yours cos this game play is the closest to what I have been playing for days. Keep them episodes coming! I'm enjoying the small steps to survive. Have fun!

[@MsNikkieMichelle]

What would be neat is adding defensive traps like spikes, barbed wire to slow zombies down and that actually work and not just for show or cosmetics, kind of like 7dtd, the infected or the forest.

[@tommeakin1732]

Imo saliva-only infection when playing with sprinters is a good move. In normal PZ, it's harder to make fuck ups that get you hit; but with sprinters, the games controls are just kind of...bad. It's not built for it. Like the keys to transition from running to sprinting are clunky asf. If you set your alt sprint to be hold down instead of toggle, tapping alt will actually slow your person down for a fraction of a second. Saliva-only infection is just a little compensatory cushion that won't even save your most of the time, as most deaths result from you being surrounded and torn to shreds lol

[@astro16k80]

Hey man, Super psyched to see you making more content. I love your chill vibes and was following since day one of the 1000 days challenge. Its remarkable how much your quality and skill has improved since then. You are one of the only PZ creators I watch, and I always am happy to see more videos from you, good stuff, man.

[@dropdeadrush7918]

I drop pop to .15 on sprinter playthroughs but buff them immensely by letting them open doors, also lower loot drastically forcing a nomadic style of play, altogether creating a dope 28 Days Later like game 🤘

[@DatGuyAlex]

This is super nostalgic for me because that farmhouse is the first base I managed to survive a year in, on apocalypse mode. Love your content!

I'm impressed. You didn't crash your car even once. Sunday Driver was made for you.

@@AUsefulNPC haha!

[@ownagenoobs1]

Honestly don't think too much about how to play the game "in the best way possible". Just get into it! Try different things. Learn what all the traits do. Find out what it is you like vs don't like. You have a specific playstyle that differs from other people, so the kind of traits you take will also differ. Also depending on what your settings are they will change too. For example I've started playing with 10% sprinters, and my trait selection is totally different from when I play with regular fast shamblers. The best thing to do is to learn the trait system by heart so that you can choose and change your traits with relative ease depending on how you are playing.

[@rabbidninja79]

Also, you will die... alot. Dont get disheartened theres Norway to survive forever haha

Helpful tip: If u have panic you can sit down and fast forward time and this will reduce panic when you for example have the klaustrophobic trait. I mean with this method of sitting next to a bed in a small bedroom it is possible to sleep without betablockers. Also nice video and big respect for the attempt of 100 days sprinters. Can not wait for the 1000 days actually sprinters. You would be a mad man if you do this ;)

That's easy with guns and a shit-ton of ammo (Especially with Brita's guns) OR a lot of molotovs. Cheesy tactics such as campfires also exist and is another easy method of zombie disposal.

I think it'd be pretty neat if a zombie was sprinting at you from a distance and made contact with the player, the zombie has a chance to just straight up tackle you, what a way to end a playthrough

if you really hate your community, remember randomizing the zombies behaviors is always an option. from shamblers to sprinters to crawlers, to fast shamblers as well as durability thrown in makes every encounter a nightmare.
