Project Zomboid is the ultimate zombie survival. Alone or in MP: you loot, build, craft, fight, farm and fish in a struggle to survive. A hardcore RPG skillset, a vast map, a massively customizable sandbox, and a cute tutorial raccoon await the unwary. So how will you die? All it takes is a bite..
Project Zomboid is an open-ended zombie-infested sandbox. It asks one simple question - how will you die?
In the towns of Muldraugh and West Point, survivors must loot houses, build defenses, and do their utmost to delay their inevitable death day by day. No help is coming - their continued survival relies on their own cunning, luck, and ability to evade a relentless horde.

Tanks/ armored vehicles with main cannons. (Mods, obviously) and grenades/rockets (using Brita’s). The former for blasting through large groups and demoing buildings full of zombies, the latter for more tactical (and less destructive to loot on the zombies)… well, if you stick to frags, at least. Though the incendiary’s can be helpful if you’re in winter, especially with the cryogenic mod. Also there’s the “sacrificial” method: spawn in NPCs, then make a lot of noise next to them and then run and hide.

I don't understand why they dislike the fire method more than the car method, it feels like more of a trade off and punishment using fire, losing loot from zombies and destroying building and forests, vs damaging your cars trunk or maybe losing a car. maybe they get their opinion from multiplayer where the fire ruins it for others, which i understand, but if it's singleplayer you're weighing the cost of fire.

Fire feels for some as a cheap method of getting rid of zeds without putting yourself into any tangible danger from the Horde itself, unless you somehow get them to start following youz then you gotta kite a huge ass of shambling fireballs until they die and become ashes, or risk losing the horde and it spreads all over a city or patch of forest, burning it all in the process. Most "Cheap" Methods are usually done by Specific PZ YT'ers who play challenge runs and you clearly see them using the exploits the same way most would when faced with what challenge they were doing (Super Sprinters, Max pop w/ minimal loot, Cryo winter...) And the choice between two equally bothersome ways to solve the current problem, one which is safer and just demands you to goddamn have patienxe, the other demanding patience AND the capacity to not F up to not die. Fire to me is useful if you just want to wipe a horde, and if using a Noisy bait to cluster it somewhere isolated and safe to burn, all the better. Though my runs are more gun centric and specific kinds of gun chars (No shotties, the Dakka must not stop, Sniper...) For specific challenges, so fire exploitation is rare unless i ak alpowing myself use of Incendiary nades

One can always make the fence non-thumpable again in a solo game. For example, i made doors hp as follows: 500hit points initial jp plus 500 for each carpentry level. With carpentry 10 you end up with a door with 5500 hit points. Quite strong but the Zs can still break it, it just takes more time.same for walls. As long as the friendly devs keep the game files un encrypted, we can tailor their game to our liking. Plus the mods of course.

I like to prepare a roof with a tent or a second story building with a bed so that I have a safe escape down the backside of it and a place to sleep and to store ammunition and food. I then place a car with running motor and active radio in front of it, at a distance that still allows me to shoot zombies at it. Honk the car or pull a horde to it by other means and climb up, wait a bit or make some more noise. When you got a horde there, cull them with the shotgun and any other guns. It attracts more zombies and the old ones won’t leave due to the car‘s radio noises. You can cull thousands of them like that

You can make a trail of 24 watches, dropped a screen apart from each other, each with an alarm set one hour apart from the last, to constantly pull migrating z's from other nearby cells, to your car/radio kill zone and always have a steady supply of targets. All day, everyday, it'll grab, cluster, and slowly move groups to your kill zone. Get 24 more watches to repeat for each cardinal direction.

Something you missed on the fence fighting method is that you can also just stand back facing the fence while also hugging the fence so as soon as the zombies vault you can kill them Also you can't get hit by lungers
there is another way to do the car cheese. you get 2 cars a good condition one and a garbage one. take the tires off the garbage car then hook it to the front of the good car and do circles in reverse

Used to play with high pop in Louisville, but the lag is frustrating. And found out you just end up cheesing the hordes as a way to clean up faster. Medium/Low pop + random sprinters was a surprisingly much harder challenge. Everything is quiet and calm, but when the zeds come its so sudden

Another fence method that’s a lot safer than the standard is to kite them up and down the fence hugging it with your character some will fall over the fence when you shove or hit them causing the hoard to string along instead of ball up
A better way to apply the car cheese method is when u tow a car and use the car bring towed to hit the zombies. Its effective if ur towing a sports car its gonna go start going crazy and will hit zombies if u reach a certain speed and just turn at the right time to hit more zombies
Imo (1800+ hour veteran), 'Thinning the Herd' and 'Fence Cheese' are my most common tactics, with 'Normal Method' lagging behind slightly. I never really got used to using fire, you rarely ever get to take advantage of chain fences for horde clearing, doors are only useful for a small group (as you said), leading zombies away is temporary and eventually dangerous if you keep using the same luring spot, and cars are too precious and fragile to be using as beyblades. I agree with your sentiment--hordes *are* a chore; they are, however, still a serious threat.
Really dig your humor and editing style.. Nice work man.
Glad to hear your voice has cleared up lately, great video as always
My wife already left me.
The car cheese method looks epic.
With the fence tactic it's also useful that zeds tend to climb over them or windows if you and zeds are going tight next to the fences/windows so some of them will eventually climb over them and the herd in front of you is gonna be thinner

They could make something to counter the fire method, like getting sick from the smell, even gettin stuned because of puke from the smell. I get that survivals get used to the dirty smell of the zombies, but i dont think they smell burnt putrefact meat everyday.

Once you started talking about your opinion on arsonists, I agreed and had a good chuckle. You earned a sub with that one, mate 👍
Honorable _honorable_ mention: a subtactic of fence killing Zomboids is conga lining a horde along a long fence line. A lot of the pathfinding will fall over the fence, giving you a lot more breathing room in your conga line and giving you the ability to switch between conga lining or fence killing.
i've been doing the cheese method without even knowing it! The biggest risk is loosing a wheel i noticed, as long as you loose only one you can still spin, but not drive off, if you loose both you are stuck.
I did a stream recently where I went to a new town (So not a single zombie had been killed yet) And I went to loot some stores. There was a car in the parking lot that I checked out and it triggered the alarm! there must have actually been at least a HUNDRED and MORE and I took em ALL on like a boss! Such an immense adrenaline rush, every move counts.

I back up slowly with a short fence beside me. The zombies pile up and then jump over the fence to get to you which slows them down. You can handle any size horde. It's even better if you're on the second floor, so they jump over and have to path back to you. I can kill hundreds this way
Moaning salvation but you do it in the car, honking like a BMW driver being mad at a slow driver on left lane, and setting your cruise control to 5mph. No risk of zombie catching you while you collect the horde and you can chill inside an A/C running car, eat your daily grilled cheese and bleach sandwich while listening to rap for christs on your premium radio technologies.
I found the safest safe house going to the road northwest of rosewood, at the first alternative path you find, and there are two houses with good loot, one warehouse very close by and if you go further northwest you find 5 warehouses and lots of houses with loot.

My favorite style on fencing is actually fighting in narrow 2-fence corridors. You can feet-massage entire hords single feeted.
Something I learned the hard way with the reverse donut method is I'd you have a lot of horsepower, or a top heavy car, you run the risk of tipping yourself over and rendering the car completely undrivable.
3:22 Weary = Tired Wary = Cautious Common mix up
honestly I've used the fire method before after luring a particularly massive horde to a relatively safe area with a cop car... my friends wanted to loot a military base for guns and there was no alternatives since my friend added like 100+ mods to the game and one of them increased the amount of zombies that could appear so it was a 2000+ size horde, none of the methods would help us get into that base without atleast an out of game week worth of zombie slaying so I burnt them all to a crisp
The good thing about the molotov method is that it allows you to get a lot of weapon exp since last hitting a zomboid gives more experience than what you would get from a normal attack, the problem is that if you receive a hit 1 time you're done. I do this specially when I'm playing with spears since you can lvl it quickly without wasting to many resources while you keep a somemewhat safe distance.
thanks for another banger
If you hold the alt key youll prioritize aiming at lunging/fallen zomboids. You get a madive accuracy and damage boost this way - nearly garunteeing instant one bullet kills with even pistols. If you combine this with multiple zomboids vaulting and a shotgun and you can garuntee each shell kills four zomboids.
This commentary with that voice is PERFECT. Please more like this!

I loved your video, even as an expert PZ player. Ive been playing since 2014 have hosted a few servers and have nearly 4K hours in the game with a lot it spent in Sprinter servers. I feel you left out one of my favorite methods of horde management, which is the "Woo-Woo" Method. This is where you take a vehicle with a siren and park it somewhere close to the horde, activate the siren and run away then wait. You can use this to lure a horde away from a house you want, or clump them together to easily take care of with firearms or use the "Thinning the herd" method with melee.

Who knew that donut drifting in reverse would be the most efficient and stylish method of dispatching hordes
As an arsonist I’m using the house fires by driving an ambulance into the house, then turning on the siren, good times.
I have a way to deal with hordes in a mid game with using fire axe spear or anything giving high damage to quickly kill them you will build storage box in some place like storage room with only one way out lure zombies by shooting and then using a melee gun to kill them without facing danger and if they breach defense or horde is big use sledge hammer to destroy a wall and quickly run away or build another storage box on another storage box
A tactic I discovered antilunging zombie is staying with your back to the fence with you near the fence. When they jump they phase through you as they fall on their face, this allows I to keep hitting more before they can do their jedi force push at you. And if they do they do it Away from you as their animation keeps them stuck with the back to you. By the time enough of them have fallen over for u to need to bail and switch spots you can take out about 10-15 zeds with a crafted spear, fitness 5 and strength zero character, freshly born. A 10fit 10str 10spears can do this almost forever. Switch to a window so they cannot break it like the low fence and you can clear half WP like this.
3:20 "One thing you should be weary about". Wary, not weary.
you can also fight zombies along a car, as long as you hug the sides of the car and swing as they come around the corners, they'll get stuck on the ground and have trouble reaching you.

Gone but not forgotten
I like to gather a decent sized number of zombies and find an area with several parked cars. Instead of having a stream of 4-5 of them you can run through the cars a few times to make them split into different single file groups. This makes it easier to kill, since you’ll notice in the early game it’s easier to kill just a few zombies as there aren’t 5 coming at you at once. The confusion method 😢
Here's a fun fact I remembered by seeing the molotov part. Fire is inconsistent when it comes to spread. Either it's a mere fire that spreads 2 tiles away from the area the fire started at... Or, the worse type, is the infinite fire that spreads endlessly, over any tile. IIRC you can make the infinite fire happen by putting metal items in a microwave and turning it on. Other infinite fire happens in the CDDA challenge... So careful how you maneuver around the map when the infinite fire happens, or else you might spread it from Muldraugh all the way to LV!
Beyblade Technique gets even better if you attach a wreckage and have _that_ hit the zeds
Interesting video ! Thanks :) I don't have wife neither kids but i liked and subbed because we are never too carefull ahah
I have often used something that seems to be a combination of Thinning the Herd and Moaning Salvation which i call Ring Around the Office. You lure a huge chunk of them, presumably the entire local hoard, but minus the shouting if the entire area is zombie infested. You need to lure everything from around a certain block, maybe like one street of lenght away in every direction, and then as they form a key like birds, as zombies that cling together in a tight cell tend to get stretched into that weird arrow head as you move in one direction, you take the newly formed zombie key to a building which doesn't have easily accessible paths through it and many windows as they tend to get stuck it ( hence the Office in the name as post office used to be my fav with only one side having a window) and just take them around and around slowly fighting the tip of the arrow head every one and a half turn. It is risky tho, as if you don't manage the herd properly (sometimes you need to run around them and switch direction to clump them toghether again) you can easily lap into the end of the arrow headand get surrounded. Ideally, you should always consider ratio of building size vs horde size - small horde = post office, moderate horde = a flat, big horde = supermarket. But with that downside comes an upside, which is it's actually easy to manage, easier i'd say than the Moaning Salvation which comes at a risk of the end of the herd stalling and eventually stopping along the way or getting stuck on windows and doors along, as the horde tends to stretch over distance. It also gives you the opportunity that you can always just do two turns and lose it like in the Moaning Salvation, which i call the Emergency Ringaloo. You see your stamina isn't enough? - ER. There's some additional hordes suddenly joining which completely destroys your ratio? Ringaloo. Unforseen circumstances like the alarm going off somewhere near or helicopter saying hello? Ringadingaloo and bye bye. You get scratched because you misjudged the distance and now you're bleeding? Straight to the ER. It lets you keep the local crowd in one place without any risk of them stalling anywhere in the city and doing an unpleasant surprise some time later, whilst keeping the local population managed and contained to the one area that is of interest to you without making it too much of a hustle like clearing the entire town or a big chunk of it. Just walk past everyone and sprint a few times and then Ring Around the Office/Flat/Mall. It even works with smaller groups at the early game, just Ring Around a House/ Trailer. The tip of the arrow will stay locked on you while the middle will stall a bit and the end will lose track constantly giving you time to deal with the tip first and then again and again and again till there's nothing left. And remember- something not going as you planned? One turn, Two turn, Emergency Ringaloo away.
There are mods to set up chain fences where you want. Furthermore, coming in B42 chain fences will slowly fal over the course of days/weeks if a horde is next to it and you aggro them into it. This apparently will be modifiable in sandbox settings so change it however you want.
David Attenborough narrates the zombie apocalypse.
First time i launched up PZ i set up a world and spawned in a house found a pan in the kitchen and as soon as i stepped outside there was a herd of around 100 or more zomboids, Lets just say i didn't handle the situation very well as in screaming and ducking in and out of houses till i got myself stuck in a corner and died.
One of my methods that I use to clear hordes, I don't know if it is so effective but I always hug a medium fence, and I start hitting the zombies, I use this method very often if I am playing without multi hits or in some online server without multi hits. The method works like this: when I'm hugging the fence no matter which side it is, the zombie which I will fight first will always be one, since as more zombies accumulate towards my direction, the zombie's ia will somehow try to push/roll the zombie in front of him if he can't pass and that way he will jump the fence and so slowly my horde will be a line which is waiting to get hit and slowly the horde will be smaller and smaller. I usually do it together with the method of luring the zombies away that you mention and take them to a rural area with wires which are those who have a great durability to perform this method, since the wooden fences of the towns do not support a large number of zombies jumping over it
Very good show. I wish I had friends.
car cheese is best employed with simple stuff, like mechanic leveling, and speed demon trait. I tend to run with mods that make mechanic level make repairs easier, which make it even more powerful.
Anything that makes noise is nice. Park a police car in the woods and turn on the siren. Time an alarm clock and set it in the direction you want the horde to go, or craft noise makers
As someone with 2000 hours in this game, carefully choosing mods and configs to make the ultimate better PZ experience, using most of those methods just felt wrong. I made my game way harder by adding multiple mods and even purposefully breaking or patching every single method presented, including the ones that werent, and trust me, just straight up fighting the zombies and getting up to 15k kills in a single life is way more fun than it seems
after jumping from the fence you can hold straight to fence some zombie's are still going to try stun you after jumping but they cannot stun you they are just trying it if you hold still so close to fence after jumping then just hold alt key and hit the zombies on the ground.
A note about car cheese. Be careful of the front wheel falling off due to damage. Just happened to me, but thankfully it didn’t end the run

I got killed before from my wheels breaking off and got my car swarmed....
Car cheese was the most common one, and one I utlize myself quite often
The patched out cheese method is pinning your car directly against the drive side door with a wall/ other vehicle, rolling down the window, and unloading all your ammo into the nearby horde.
I burned 3/4 of rosewood population and tbh I regret it - it robbed me of valuable weapon skills in exchange for safe and quick method of despising of them. And I'm still fucking terrified of them.
I like your humor:)
This video had me cracking up. Made my night, or what’s left of it 😂My husband and kiddo are sleeping but I just had to finish watching this for the commentary. I guess I’m not a pu**y since I’ve never used the fire method before 😅 I have a 😺 but am not one, yay! 🤣
It's rarely the hoards that get me. I like to load up a few axes into a police car (or anything with a siren) and slowly drive around, getting out to fight them the normal way as they appear. My biggest enemy is the one behind a door that I've already been through a dozen times before.
The Car Cheese was kinda done in Juan of the Dead. It works.
Sick!

For an even more diabolically cheesey method, if you chuck a Molotov and park a car to where you’re up against a wall where no zombie can attack you, and just leave some sirens running, all the zombies will burn to death risk free and you don’t need to do anything.
10:47 zombie AI does not let them get close to the fence to be stabbed if they cannot bash it down or see a path around it to you. A curious bug I found about 6000 hours in is if you build a wooden box near the fence the zombies will FURIOUSLY clump on the other side forever trying to hit it and get stuck near the fence. NOW you can literally put an auto clicker to farm spear xp for u.
