There are also multiple classes of zombie that require different techniques to bring down. Larger zombies called thugs take a lot of damage and knocked us down more than once by swinging their gangly arms.In order to put a stop to this, we machete'd their arms into bloody stumps and then they fell with ease. Another type of zombie is basically a walking suicide bomber that can either take out a swath of zombies or your entire crew when it explodes if you don't kill it in time.
