Npc poisonzombie

Entity Description

Poison Zombie

Poison zombies, unlike other zombie types, serve as hosts for 1-4 nesting black headcrabs at a time. They usually attack by throwing headcrabs at their target.

Killing a poison zombie does NOT necessarily result in the deaths of the poison headcrabs it is carrying, even if the zombie is killed with an explosive weapon. A hit with the AR2 secondary fire will sometimes eliminate both the zombie and the headcrabs in one blow.

Placement Tip:In Ravenholm, players usually encounter 1 poison zombie at a time.

Note:Some keyvalues, spawnflags, effect flags, inputs, or outputs might not affect an NPC, based on the functionality and coding of the NPC.
