Normal Civilian Puppet
Once an islander who did not get off the island. The ordinary one, and the one you meet most. Nothing about it is unusual, which is the whole of its threat.
An admin spawns one with
#SpawnZombie BP_Zombie_Civilian_Normal_Male
The Normal Civilian Puppet at a glance
- Health: 120
- Aim for: Head 3x a hit
- Next best: Chest 1.5x
- Worth least: Anywhere else 1x
- Its swing: 5 damage
- Weak spots: Same as most puppets
How it finds you
A puppet hears you from 60 m, or 20 m when it is lying down. A wall cuts that to 10 m when it is lying down. It spots you from 20 m when it is wandering and 50 m when it is alerted, across 90 degrees when it is standing or wandering, and not at all when it is lying down.
How it behaves
It vaults through windows, bangs doors in, lies asleep until something wakes it, screams when it is agitated and notices traps. Once it starts to limp it limps for 10 seconds. In deep water it drowns, losing 6 health every second. A vehicle does it no harm below 15 km/h and 250 damage at 100 km/h, more than the 120 health it has.
What it leaves you
Cut all the way down, one puppet gives 2 Puppet Arm, 2 Puppet Foot and 2 Puppet Leg, and the rest listed below. That is 2 cuts with any cutting tool, 15 seconds of work with no Survival skill and 7 at Above Advanced, and it pays 75 Survival XP.
Where it spawns
The game rolls it in 55 encounters across settlements, points of interest, hot spots, factories, medical, roads and open country, up to 5 at a time. In 42 of them, the dead are replaced after 10 to 20 minutes. Every one of the 363 zones on the map can roll one.
