I am aware this is duplicate. Zombies are simply too difficult to kill with melee, and I am aware that this is an effort to make things more balanced. The simple truth is that the balance has been over tipped. New spawns have no means of defense, and since the zombies have consistent legolas level vision, they will always spot you and sprint full speed to deliver your bloody demise. You can't just keep running, they will chase you. Indefinitely. This is no longer a game about survival, its now just a run until they catch you and kill you sim. The game in this state is unplayable, since my character was reset by the game and now I am as all newbs-with no weapons to preserve my in game life. Please, please developers, restore vulnerability to the zombie population. remember: zombies are no threat by themselves, only in numbers. Don't make them hoards of superundead.
