Overview

Initially set as a pre-order bonus before coming free to players, Be the Zombie is a gamemode where players can invade other actor'south games, if enabled.

While only 1 player can control the Night Hunter, homo survivors can be allowed upwards to four players.

When playing the Night Hunter for the first time, they volition exist put and be introduced into a tutorial earlier they can select matchmaking to find a player to invade.

Strategies

Combos and Strats for the Hunter

• Try to combine your UV supressor with UV cake, if you lot stick your spit, an inexperienced human is 99% going to dice. The manner to do it is UV Spit > UV Block and then Pounce to finish off the attack
• If you surround the human to a corner, its is quite easy to stick a spit on them and attack them, these locations are quite mutual in the slums. But exercise exist aware, information technology can work confronting you, if you lot become backed upwards in a corner, you're the one going to die.
• Do non waste your free energy on charging spit sniping, every decent survivor knows how to avoid them pretty easily, unless you can aim pretty accurately and fast while being fast, don't apply information technology. Don't waste material spits like candy either, its a huge thing to manage them, merely please do apply them.
• The best blind spot the survivor has from pouncing is above, silent pounces, when you basically tendril of something college than yous and falling downward, is a skillful style to catch the survivor off guard. When they become pounced, they have a separate second to apply their uv, if y'all tin mess with their timing or brand them run out of uv, salubrious.
• Motility is a key part in BTZ, use tendril sprint, sprinting right when your tendril hits the ground, or jumping right when your tendril hits (tendril jump) the basis actually gains upwards speed, if you add together the strafe keys, such as tendriling jump to the left concord w and a, and for tendril jumping to the right pressing west and s, It will really confuse players, but be warned this is a very advanced technique and takes hours to master information technology.
• The above-stated use of momentum can also utilise to tackles and ground pounds. If you are moving through the air speedily and tendril to the footing at a shallow angle, you will keep your momentum while running for a brusk time, which can let you tackle a human immediately afterward landing.
• Missing a pounce and flying into spikes kills you lot instantly, and has rather strong magnetism to the spikes, causing unpredictable impalement. If a human being is continuing nevertheless, facing you but non UV lighting you, they may be trying to lure you lot into killing yourself. Ground Pounding them instead can get them impaled, tackling can exercise the same, simply missing tin can hands net the aforementioned suicidal results.
• Your Ground Pound gives y'all a small-scale window of UV amnesty subsequently landing a hit, letting yous escape with a tiny amount of energy. This can exist used to make a quick escape while completely drained of energy, as landing the attack too gives you a sliver of energy, simply enough to tendril to a roof and fly abroad.
• Basis Pound attacks can disable flares, and so Ground Pounding a human hiding in flare light and pouncing moments later can sometimes exist an effective strategy. In the Country Side map from the Following DLC, y'all can ground pound a human histrion's buggy to flip it, which also turns off its UV lights, should they be on. If surrounded but nearly a buggy, ground pound it to give yourself a short window of escape.
• Your tackle ability is both a mortiferous weapon and a mortiferous liability. While landing a tackle does respectable damage and elevation can atomic number 82 to massive damage, plus the power to impale humans on spikes are all good, missing a tackle is like shooting fish in a barrel to exercise and can be fatal. Running into spikes after missing is instantly fatal, and you lot are frequently going to get hit a few times after missing ane. A lesser known attribute of tackling is that it can be used on buggies in the Countryside, which can be an effective manner to end a buggy, giving a window of opportunity to spit on it or flip information technology.
• If there is an opportunity to utilise your LeapFrog move, accept it. There is usually not besides much gamble to bound frogging, and information technology can sometimes net yous a few kills. Remember, yet, that yous have to target humans with your pounce push before landing on the first man, otherwise yous will not be able to jump to the next victim. Leap Frogging always kills the first human, despite you not biting them, and they cannot be revived. If you accept the Pounce Slam skill, any homo striking by information technology is free game to bound frog onto, they cannot movement, or utilise their UV calorie-free, even mid pounce. If you try bound frogging, but the 2d target puts something in betwixt y'all, you however finish the pounce animation early, letting yous give hunt moments afterwards landing a pounce.
• The Horde spit is a good idea to distract the humans, forcing them to direct their attending away from you so that you tin can pounce. If a horde spat man climbs to get away, utilise a Footing Pound or tackle to become them where your horde pals can accomplish. Keep pressuring them on the roof tops, and permit the horde do the rest. Exist a flake conscientious though, equally the Horde can actually kill you lot sometimes, its very rare, just on occasion if one Gas Tank blows some other up, his explosive tank tin can fall off and kill you if yous're unlucky.
• Sometimes, humans volition grapple to a roof you are continuing on, if they do, you tin tackle earlier they climb up, which they cannot dodge. a tackle from high enough can be fatal, as unlike with a Footing Pound, humans are stunned until landing, and cannot do anything while in mid air. You lot can even ground pound a human off of a rooftop and follow information technology up with an unavoidable mid-air tackle, which, combined with any autumn damage they have later on, is virtually of the time a guaranteed kill.
• In co-op, only spikes or a successful pounce volition instantly impale a human; Suiciders, footing pounds, claws, and tackles will allow them to be revived past their teammates. Attack a downed human with your claw to deplete their bleed-out time.
• Do non permit the humans gang up on yous - you lot can be killed in 2-4 hits, so use your mobility and UV Shield every bit much as possible when they attempt to focus on you.
• Humans will often sprint at yous in an attempt to land a drop kick. Different with your tackles, which they can dodge, you accept no method of countering a drib kicking other than simply staying out of reach. Getting kicked into spikes is instant decease, although in the panic of close quarters combat this usually does not happen intentionally. Being kicked is not the end of the world, as you get a moment of UV amnesty while getting kicked, then you may nonetheless be able to flee. Yous can sometimes basis pound the human before they land the kick, although the timing seems to exist more than in the humans favor, so its a better idea to just not get kicked in the start place.
• Proceed in mind that the Horde, UV spit, and sense suppressor spits explode, so you can become away with an indirect hitting or just sending it in their full general expanse. Y'all can often plow humans into makeshift bombs by sticking 1 of them, making them panic and run, spit in tow, to their allies, potentially soaking an unabridged team, and sowing chaos amongst them.
• When a homo climbs a nearby ledge, you accept the option to pounce them (though they accept a brief window of opportunity to apply UV on you), tackle them, or basis pound (to knock them off the edifice and deal some fall damage).
• Avoid getting under humans as much every bit possible, as a DFA (Decease From To a higher place) is very difficult, if not impossible, to see coming, and like your pounce, is a guaranteed decease if it connects. It is possible, still, to use this to your reward, by luring humans into jumping off buildings to their doom, but try to keep in heed that DFAs have quite wide margins for error.
• Avert being killed at all costs. Getting killed will buy the humans a practiced amount of time, and permit them to destroy a nest completely unhindered.
• Downed humans can be used as bait. When a human attempts to revive another, the healing blitheness leaves them both vulnerable. The Night Hunter tin take advantage of this by using either UV, or Horde spit, and pouncing them both when the ane human has been revived. Another, slightly more taunting move to pull is using a Toxic spit on the downed human, which volition likely forestall any other humans from helping them without taking meaning damage, and allows you to finish them off with hook attacks. However, if no spits are available, the best way to avoid a downed man from being revived is by tackling any human that attempts to heal them, and swiping at the downed homo to speed upwards their death. Again, the blitheness leaves them vulnerable and it is incommunicable to dodge a tackle mid healing-blitheness. An update reduced the revive timer from 30 seconds to only virtually fifteen, giving survivors much less fourth dimension to help downed allies.
• If out of all spit, or are just starting out every bit the Night Hunter, 1 easy fashion to take hold of the humans off guard is to use the tendrils to motility around the map at random. While doing this, make certain to stay in an area where you lot tin see them. This is a strategy that causes the humans to use their eyes more than their Survivor sense, which allows y'all to easily grab them off baby-sit. In one case you see a bullheaded spot, take it and use information technology for a pounce attack. Note that it only works if you can move faster than the humans are searching, meaning endeavor to brand them focus on you instead of their map.
• Once unlocked, Spit Smash becomes a very constructive killing tool, as a UV spit blast and the Acid spit smash combo is very hard to survive. All spits can be used in a nail attack, but they cost 2 spits instead of one, making these attacks very difficult to pull off unless on a 1v4 match, where spits recharge much faster.
• There are exceptions to allowing yourself to run out of stamina, but this should merely be used as a concluding resort, meaning that it should but be used if the humans have one life and yous accept 1 nest left. The first step is to make yourself open and one time y'all have their attention, run towards an area that is completely open up. Information technology must have no structures to climb on, this can also work if the nest is well-nigh no climbing structures. One time the humans are out in the open, accept them go towards you lot with an assail such as a tackle, then striking them with a Horde spit or if you lot take more than one practice all of them. This volition leave them vulnerable to the horde'due south set on, although they may be able to escape if they are equipped with boosters or grappling hooks.
• When using a Horde spit, one way to take hold of them off guard is to utilise information technology on the contrary side of the homo's view on a nest. This tin can only outcome them if you do it at the right time, meaning that you have to exercise it when they are just well-nigh to reach the nest, but they can not meet y'all utilise it. It helps to count how long information technology takes for the spit to explode before doing this. An alternate thought is if you are on a bridge and they are coming to attack you lot, hibernate behind a van then utilize a spit on it where they can't come across it before running or getting to loftier ground. Once they are hit, so pounce them to kill them.
• When a human resorts to using a flare (even though you cant pounce them), there are ways to do damage to them with out entering the light's range. If you achieved the Sky Drop Ground Pound power, just get above their heads and then ground pound them to destroy the flare, damage them, and get yourself into a perfect position to pounce them while they are stuck in mid-air.
• Arial Ground Pound lets yous charge a Basis Pound in the air, so drop straight downwardly, unleashing the assail on landing. This can exist used as a spit smash, letting you lot drib downwardly from above and spit players caught in the blast. Be conscientious about using this, as once you outset dropping with a charged pound, you cannot motility in the air, and this can cause yous to miss the assault, and get killed.
• In the Countryside, humans can use buggies to get around. You can catch onto these buggies and start smashing the driver, who takes three hits to die. Exist wary of humans getting out to kill yous, every bit you will stay on the buggy until holding your assault cancel button to become off. Humans can as well ram into things to blast you lot off, and if they ram into spikes, you volition die.
• Mutation 1 Hunters can use a Sense Suppressant spit, which disables their survivor sense, substantially blinding them for an entire minute. To brand the most of this opportunity, do non howl, every bit this can be a expressionless giveaway of your location, instead just follow the spit indicator, which will be above any affected survivors. Once you lot shut in, move around on pes, equally your tendrils make a lot of racket, and try to strike from the nighttime, or from below if possible. They can however use their UV lights while suppressed, but if you play it correct they wont know where to signal them.
• If a human uses cover-up, a carmine ? will appear where they used information technology, and it will remain there until they either utilise another camo, or it wears off. Camouflaged humans will appear red in the game world, just will non be visible though walls or on your map. You can nevertheless attack them if y'all tin find them, and the all-time way to observe them is to go near the nests, and the head towards where they were terminal seen, as camo is often used to help the humans get to the nests safely. Of course, if the nests get-go being damaged, it ways the inconspicuous man made information technology there, and that should be where yous go next.
• Sometimes, humans will pull a gun and start shooting at you. Depsite uncomplicated logic maxim otherwise, this is actually a prime number opportunity to go ballistic on the shooter. Guns do pathetic impairment against the Hunter due to balancing, and closing the gap tin let you deal some significant damage while they endeavor to shoot you lot. Going after a man in a confined infinite is still a bad idea though, as they can still rapidly switch to a melee weapon, all of which out damage your claws. Keep in listen that shotguns do withal hurt quite a flake though, only non plenty to one shot you, and are nearly worthless at point blank range confronting a fast moving Hunter.
• When yous use the horde spit endeavour and stay on the ground since while the survivors are attacking you the bombers can run backside them and kill them as well if you go up on a roof virtually likely the survivors will chase you and they will be safe from the bombers the only true bad matter about being on the ground is that yous are extreamly vulnerable to getting DFA
• Holding the bound button allows you to scale up walls.
• To become a speed boost, utilise your tendrils while sprinting and hold it until you're on the basis. This can also be used to tackle the homo if you're in the air, pretending to be distracting them.
• If the human dodges your tackle, you tin spit on the ground below you since they will exist going after you to hit you.
• If the man dodges your tackle, run towards them and ground pound them if they're in forepart of spikes. Nigh humans are gonna presume y'all're trying to tackle them twice.
• A good tactic is to spit on the homo after a successful tackle or footing pound since it's almost likely gonna striking and stick to them.
• To counter DFA, you lot must exist sprinting and when you see the human flying to yous in slow motion, spam Due east. It depends on your timing and might require a flake of training, simply it works.
• Use your tendrils and if unlocked, the UV block to get away if your stamina is below 25%.

Against the Hunter

• The Night Hunter is weak to UV lights, rapidly depleting its stamina. The Nighttime Hunter can only pounce when its stamina is full, so even a quick flash of your flashlight will stop it from pouncing. Drain its energy completely, and it won't exist able to sprint or apply tendril locomotion.
• Ever polish your UV light on the Hunter when its in range. The only time when yous should not practise this is if the Hunter uses its UV block skill, during which it will glow bright white, its stamina meter on your screen volition become unreadable, and feature a small shield, and, mainly, the Hunter is immune to UV lights. If it starts running, finish using your light, as your only wasting its power, just if it comes direct at you using UV block, go on shining, and practice not permit it out of your sights, it may be trying to pounce from a blind spot, usually above and behind you. When the Hunter pounces, its UV block is canceled, allowing you to still interrupt it. A bottom known fact is that if yous interrupt a Hunter's pounce, information technology flies over you, and tin really dice if information technology crashes into some spikes.
• When the hunter pounces on another player, take reward of the hunter's immobility while it kills them - just be careful, as some Hunters have the Leap Frog skill, which lets it jump from one pounce victim to the side by side moments later landing. If the Hunter starts doing the killing animation, it wont be able to pounce anyone else, just be wary, as Hunters tin target you for a Leap Frog before landing their offset target, and don't demand total energy to spring to some other target. Likewise, keep in heed that the Hunter cannot actually be stopped from killing a pinned human being, once it lands the pounce, that survivor is already dead, and the Hunter gets a rather pregnant boost to damage and UV lite resistance while killing the human.
• Stay together, as the Hunter volition accept less difficulty killing you when yous are alone and unprepared.
• The "Camouflage" perk and the Cloak potion works wonders against the Hunter. When yous cover-up/cloaked, the Hunter'southward howl will just bear witness where you were when the camouflage/cloaked was used. Use this to your advantage. Be warned, however, that being invisible is non being invincible, y'all can still be attacked as normal, and are actually quite visible in the game world, you will glow cherry-red, similar to the effects of a spit. Yous wont announced through walls, but don't exist surprised if the Hunter comes afterwards you anyways. Oftentimes, the Hunter will bee line for your obvious destination; the Nests.
• When the Hunter pounces on you, you have a very curt moment to shine UV light on it before it locks in. Doing this will disrupt its pounce, saving a potential victim. Yous tin likewise interrupt its pounce of other survivors, assuasive you to protect others who cant apply their light
• You lot cannot avoid the Ground Pound by dodging, just can utilize it to get out of range earlier the assail. You can even so, evade tackles if yous jump or dodge right before hunter charges forwards. Missing a footing pound give the Hunter a long recover time, during which it is defenseless, and a missed tackle boosts you into the air, and makes the Hunter wing back a bit behind you. The Hunter will die if information technology runs into a spike wall while tackling - but the humans tin besides get impaled, past beingness Ground Pounded or tackled into them.
• Night Hunter spit sticks to everything. While attacking nests, continuing however will brand y'all an easy target. Exist sure to stay on the move constantly. At that place is no special indicator to tell yous if a spit has stuck to you lot, or just landed near you lot. if you offset moving, and the explosives indicator stays active, y'all may accept been stuck. A more definitive marker is if you lot see a colored spit trail in your confront briefly. If stuck, don't run to your allies, that is exactly what the Hunter is hoping for, as tagging the whole squad could result in a lot of lost lives. instead, back away from your squad, while keeping an eye out for the Hunter.
• When someone gets tagged by a spit, what yous should do will depend on the spit. Yellow horde summon spits will call Gas Tanks that will rush in towards the tagged survivors and explode. Purple UV Block spits volition disable all sources of UV low-cal, including flares. If tagged by yellow spits, exist on the watch for Gas Tanks, they will emerge from man holes mainly, and show up as red arrows on your map. Get to higher basis fast, as they cannot climb, simply will instantly impale you if they blow upwardly on you. Make sure to drain the Hunter to at least half of his energy before you climb, to avert getting pounced. Do not fight the Hunter while being chased by the horde, and practise not go for fifty-fifty an piece of cake Death From Above; only because the Hunter dies doesn't mean you won't too. UV block spits will go out you defenseless confronting the Hunter's pounce if you don't take some flares or nearby teammates. Drop some flares and stay in range of UV lite until the spit wears off if you want to survive the next few seconds. The Hunter may come into your flare, be very careful if it does this, equally its Footing Pound tin disable flares. Using Drib Kicks tin assist go on the Hunter from disabling your Flares.
• Higher level hunters tin as well have two more spits; Sense spit, which disables the human's Survivor sense for a while and so the Hunter cannot be detected easily, and the Toxic spit which creates a toxic surface area around where it explodes. Sense Suppressor spit lasts about a infinitesimal, which is quite long when a ravenous, nigh unstoppable monster is chasing you. Stay nearly allies who still have their sense, and utilise your ears. Tendrils are quite noisy.
• You can bound on the hunter from higher basis and impale him in one striking - though be aware that it tin pounce you from below if it has full stamina, and so be sure to keep it drained of free energy. If the Hunter has full energy and is fast, he tin can pounce yous at the starting time of the set on blitheness. Be aware that, while in earlier versions of the game you could use a Death From Above from almost any acme, there is now a height requirement, approximately the height of the elevation of a transport truck. Do not miss a DFA at extreme heights, equally you could end up dead.
• When going for a Death From Above attack, there are a few things to proceed in heed. Firstly, make sure you lot can actually state the attack, keep above the Hunter when falling, and don't leap if its going under something that volition block your attack. Face the Night Hunter directly while falling, and keep shining your UV light on it, as the Hunter can pounce yous mid air if his free energy is full. While in that location is a height requirement for the attack, this does not mean you should brand extreme jumps trying to land one. it is safer to bound for a height yous know you tin survive a autumn from if you miss, and shorter distances requite the Hunter less fourth dimension to flee, and the longer you fall, the less control y'all have over your descent. If yous are covered in horde spit, Practise NOT get for a DFA, as missing tin get you blown up, and landing an assault locks yous in identify during the animation, letting the horde close in.
• Tossing ones weapon at the Hunter can do massive damage, but is ill-brash, every bit its easy to miss and lose your weapon, but if you think you tin can land one, a hunter missing even a bit of HP can be killed past a throw. Unlike with other infected, sharp weapons like swords and machetes will not get stuck in the Hunter, instead bouncing off afterward dealing damage, allowing for them to exist picked back up without worry of the Hunter stealing your make new katana.
• H2o used to be infamous for having survivors camp in information technology, every bit the Hunter cannot attack you, and the Horde wont attempt to swim. That was, until, an update brought along a timer that forfeits the match in the Hunters favor if you lot stay in water for too long. it can withal be used briefly for horde evasion, but y'all are very vulnerable while climbing out.
• Another quick manner to kill the Nighttime Hunter would be to use the Tackle ability to deal a small portion of damage, followed past one swing from a heavy weapon, which is enough to instantly kill the Night Hunter. This can be washed in quick succession equally the tackle ability has very little recovery time, whilst still being able to deal significant damage. To successfully pull this off, the Dark Hunter would ideally be immobilized for a curt fourth dimension, such as being completely depleted of stamina from UV light exposure, or from missing a ground pound attack.
• The Hunter ground pound CAN be cancelled, if non already used. Apply your dodging skills to lure him into missing his ground pound then while he is recovering throw a heavy weapon which will kill in ane hit.
• I handed weapons decrease xl% per swing from the Hunter'south health,Charged one handed weapons decrease 90%,Dropkicks as well decrease well-nigh 40%, Two handed weapons decrease xc% per swing and kicks subtract 5%. Firearms take poor damage output and it decrease less than the kicks about 3%
• Don't rely on your map besides much, equally it wont tell you exactly where the Hunter is on a vertical scale, you are better off facing the Hunter when he gets near, to prevent being pounced from behind.
• If you demand to arts and crafts an item, yous are ameliorate off waiting until the match is over, as BTZ often requires split second reflexes, and beingness in a menu makes you a sitting duck. If it is absolutely necessary, drop a flare or hide in a safezone, and exist quick about it.
• When attacking a nest, take someone go along watch for the Night Hunter, and also be wary of the regular biters effectually the nest, as they get Nighttime Walkers when the nest is agitated, and these can testify a dangerous distraction.
• While rare, information technology is possible for some of Rais thugs to be present during the BTZ match. They can actually exist a real concern if they are armed with guns, and the Hunter cannot pounce them. If this does happen, and the thug(s) have firearms, the best way to deal with them is to employ a DFA to insta kill them, or if bachelor, throw some molotovs at them.
• When the hunter lost all its free energy get-go turning your UV on and of every 1 second the hunter afterwards losing all its free energy it takes 1 second until it starts regaining its energy plus you will save some free energy for your flashlight.
• if you lot are the last survivor that dies from a pounce the night hunter for some reason stares into your optics
• Don't try to stay out in the open up as even if you are in a safe zone the hunter still can pounce you and don't stay inside an abased house if you lot desire to make sure information technology has an upper floor and a lower flooring simply in case the hunter summons the horde or has acid spit
• If your UV light is most dead throw a flare at the hunter or the floor until you refilled to avert getting pounced
• If a biter is turning into a nightwalker kick or tackle them out of the animation and they volition turn back into a biter since this cancels out the animation.
