[QUOTE]Removing Zombies
Helk was meant to remove Zombies before we released on Steam. That never happened. The sooner we remove them the less people will miss them.

We don’t know whether we’re actually going to have to replace them further down the line. It’s not something we want to rush into. Reskinning them so they’re ‘mutants’ instead of ‘zombies’ goes against the whole point of removing them in the first place (which is: we’re not a dayz clone anymore).[/QUOTE]

So, if zombies are going to be removed, which monsters will drop good loot? And why are they being removed? They are a cool feature in the game!

Thanks in advance,

Bawzzzz

Probably raider NPC's or something.

If they were to keep in the post apocalypse theme they have going, mutants or raiders/bandits would be my guess as replacements.

I find it funny that the zombies in rust even as placeholders are more of a threat than the zombies in the "zombie survival" game dayz both the mod and standalone versions.

I don't know if we will see them, but there was some concept art done early on.

Adding's someone else's quote to this.

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;43598044]Honestly, for bosses I'd just add irradiated animals.
Take a look at STALKER, the most fearsome boss in that game is a fucking thing that goes invisible and rips your dick off. The other being soldiers which have gone mentally insane from radiation poisoning, and gone feral mode.
Just to make a point: Nature is a brutal motherfucker. Theirs a reason we make the quote, "Mother Nature is a spiteful bitch" in survival training courses, because everything about Mother Nature is a literal interpretation of Murphy's Law. Another thing to add into the fray is the fact that the most dangerous creatures on Earth... Insects. Not sharks, not bears, but little bugs that bite your hands and shit and cause you to get a infectious disease or fills you with enough toxins that it doesn't matter anymore.
Which brings me to another creature: Enlarged insects, rattlesnakes, and stuff like the Gila Monster lizard. All these creatures carry enough toxins in them to wipe out a grown human in nothing more then a few seconds. Gila Monsters being literally the size of a small carbine rifle, and are considered the most dangerous lizard in North America.[/QUOTE]
