Standard Zombie

Summary
The Standard Zombie, also known as the Regular Zombie, Normal Zombie, Common Infected, or simply Zombie, is the most common type of zombie you'll encounter in ZAPT:R. It makes up a majority of the zombie population within the maps. It only has one ability, which is a clawing attack that does low damage and restores +1 of the zombie's HP. Due to this fact, this zombie is rather underwhelming in 1v1 combat.

While one Standard Zombie might not be so dangerous, a group of them definitely are. A mob of zombies can be quite devastating and can quickly reduce the player's hp to critical levels if the horde surround him/her. They can also aid other infected in attempts at killing Survivors, often with great success.

Standard Zombies are also the zombies you most often spawn into when playing on the Zombie Team, along with the Generic Soldiers. Player Zombies can climb up walls by rapidly left clicking against one, and can break objects by right-clicking against a surface.

Background Story
It could've been a friend. It could've been your neighbor. It could've even been someone with close relations to you, or possibly might've been your worst enemy. No matter who they were, they are now mindless, flesh-eating zombies that want nothing more than to dine on your brains. It may be heartbreaking, but you've gotta send these foul beasts back to the grave.

Many Survivors often find these zombies very weak, but still do not underestimate them. An entire group of zombies could take out an under-prepared Survivor team.

About 50% of those who die in a heated battle become these flesh-craving ghouls, who have no emotions whatsoever, are insensitive to pain (although fire may still cause a panicky reaction within them) and are nothing but shells of their former selves.

Survivors

 * These zombies aren't very powerful, and can be taken out rather easily.
 * A group of these zombies can easily overwhelm an unprepared Survivor. Stack up on some necessary goods in order to outsmart them.
 * Use Pipe Bombs, Molotovs, and High Explosive Grenades in order to clear out mobs of these zombies.
 * Player Zombies could be considered more dangerous than Bot Zombies, since they can easily dodge most of your attacks, can climb up walls, and can break down obstacles/walls. Kill them if you can.
 * Be careful -- Consumer bile can attract a horde of these types of zombies. Make sure to guard players who have been biled, and for any biled Survivor to take cover.
 * Make sure to always be on the look-out when in the open, as these zombies could come out of nowhere and swarm you.

Zombies

 * As you are cannon-fodder, you could essentially become useless if you attack alone.
 * Attempt to group up with fellow zombies and attack in groups.
 * Break down walls to blow a Survivor's cover.
 * You can also climb up walls by rapidly left clicking while against one.
 * When attacking a Survivor up close, dodge his/her's attacks by jumping/crouching.

Trivia

 * Before the Progression System update, getting eaten by a Player-controlled Standard Zombie would give you no points. Now it gives you 20 points.
 * In a similar regard, killing a Survivor as a zombie got you only 30 points. Now it's 120 points.
 * The Standard Zombie and the Generic Soldier share the exact same health bar icon.
 * There were originally plans to reduce the Standard Zombie's HP to 50, but it was scrapped once it was found out that the Standard Zombie's health was linked with the Smoker's, Generic Soldier's, Swimmer's, and Fallen Survivor's.
 * Interestingly enough, there appears to be no female Standard Zombie skin.
