Learn about zombies, the main threat in Resident Evil Outbreak, their T-virus infection, and recommended tactics and weapons to defeat them.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Zombies are former citizens of Raccoon City infected by the T-virus, turned into undead creatures that survive by devouring human flesh.
  2. 2
    They are the main threat you will face before escaping Raccoon City.
  3. 3
    Zombies move slowly towards their target and are less dangerous individually but pose a significant threat in large groups.
  4. 4
    When encountering many zombies, your best bet is to escape to a safe area as fast as possible.
  5. 5
    Zombies have lost their consciousness and do not feel pain but will fall after sustaining heavy attacks.
  6. 6
    They will pursue targets relentlessly, crawling under cars, breaking barricades, or forcing open doors.
  7. 7
    A zombie attacks by hugging its victim and biting the neck, which can infect the victim with the T-virus. Try to shake them off.
  8. 8
    In rare cases, zombies can spit acidic vomit containing the T-virus, so avoid getting too close.
  9. 9
    If too far to bite, they may swipe unpredictably and quickly to infect their victim.
  10. 10
    Since they attack at close range and move slowly, avoid confrontation if possible.
  11. 11
    When you need to eliminate a zombie, equip a weapon and attack from a distance, ideally with a Handgun.
  12. 12
    Aim from afar and fire your Handgun until they fall. You can then run past or finish them by attacking their body until they stop moving. If not finished, they might rise again.
  13. 13
    When close, use melee weapons like the Iron Pipe for self-defense if you lack guns or bullets.
  14. 14
    Be aware that zombies on the ground might not be dead and could rise again or fake death to attack your ankles.
  15. 15
    Zombies emit a low moan to signal their presence and have a medium-range, unpredictable, and fast swiping attack.
  16. 16
    When facing a lone zombie, use the tackle to unbalance it, then run past.
  17. 17
    Be cautious of zombies appearing from elevators or reaching out from windows, as they can drag victims out.
Tips
  • The Handgun, Handgun SG, Handgun Burst, Scrub Brush, and Iron Pipe are recommended weapons.
  • Using the Tackle (or Kevin's Kick) is a tactic for unbalancing zombies. It takes about 70 Tackles to kill a zombie in normal mode.
  • It takes about 20 kicks or stabs from a knife or Kevin's kick to kill a zombie.
  • When a zombie is about 1-1.5 meters away, execute a Tackle. Wait for it to get in range and Tackle again.
  • If you don't finish a downed zombie, it might rise again.
  • Be wary of zombies faking death.
  • Run whenever possible, or use weapons from afar if the area is too tight to escape.
