I always thought to kill zombies with traps were kinda wasted, since yea loot is nice, but it doesnt show on the scoreboard (something i like to brag about on PvP servers ) and more importantly, it doesnt give you any XP. Meaning spikes would need a small nerf dmg wise (they are sooo strong right now and would be even stronger with xp) (meaning everything that uses ammo and power, 1/5th for ammo like turrets and dart traps 1/10th for electric wire, spinning blade)Īnd 1/100th for all previously 'environmental' kills by traps placed by you. Maybe to balance it, you only get 1/10th of the xp, but you should still get XP for killed zombies.ġ/5th to 1/10th of XP for all ACTIVE traps

Because not only does it waste a lot of ressources (compared to spikepits and other traps or simply meleeing them) they also dont give you any XP even though a turret is definatly not 'environment' it was crafted, powered, set up and aimed up by you, and you should get the XP for those kills (while you are online only of course) (even though id like that to change, not only for the XP but also for the scoreboard on PvP servers )īUT does this also apply to electric traps like turrets, blades and electric wires?īecause then turrets are more or less a last resort tool and should not be used as an outer defense mechanism.

If not could someone contact madmole or someone? Because this will influence how i build my base.īecause since your levels mostly come from killing zombies now, and you need levels more then ever to get better in any way (electricity, steel, tools/weapon crafting and so on) if zombies are killed by my barbed wire or spikes I GUESS that it counts as environmental kill as it did in the earlier alphas.

7 days to die do zombies get stronger
