Zombie Despair

Revised for Season 17

Concept

It is an advanced theory which says one zombie dies from despair for every 2 killed in the same zone each night during the The Attack.

Formula: Zombies that will die from despair = min( floor[(Number of zombies killed - 1) / 2] ; Remaining zombies on the zone )

Technique to kill everything while saving resources

The table shown is a table instructing players how many zombies they should kill to completely clean the zone of zombies (by tomorrow). The icon displays how many zombies are in the zone, the Machete representing how many zombies the player should kill with weapons (or other methods), and the icon representing how many zombies will die during the The Attack due to despair. In theory, if a player were to follow this table and kill the exact amount of zombies as instructed, by the next day the zone will be completely cleared of zombies.

The idea behind this is that it will save the need to use resources to kill some zombies, as melee weapons require to repair, and ranged weapons require water or a Battery to use.

Note that, while the zombies will always die of despair, the zone might not appear completely cleared the next day. This is because zombies will still respawn in the empty zone if any of its adjacent zones is infected.
