Description[]
The Mutated Zombie is a zombie added in Alpha 20. It acts similarly to the Infected Police Officer, but it shoots its acid up and around itself. The acid does a base of 50 damage to blocks compared to the Infected Police Officer's 240 block damage spit attack. unlike the feral/radiated cop his special attack doesn't do extra damage to the player or blocks only his main attack damage increases
It occasionally spawns in the Wasteland, as well as trapped in a certain Point of Interest laboratory.
Despite the Mutated Zombie’s acid attack ability and it’s ability to irradiate the player briefly, the acid attack is very inaccurate compared to the Infected Police Officer and is unlikely to hit the player as long as they don’t move towards it as they fire it. Once the Mutated Zombie does it’s acid attack, it takes some time to cooldown to use it again, therefore a player can melee the Mutated Zombie with power attacks before it can use the attack again.
Appearance[]
Mutated Zombies are heavily deformed humans whos upper torso has been mutated to have massive boils which contain acidic fluids capable of dealing Radiation Damage. The remains of a destroyed white shirt can be seen tangled around is mutated torso and torn blue jeans. When attacking with its acid attack, it will flinch in place and release 6 acid balls in a 3m radius around it. They can be noticed by their strained distorted moans of agony.
Specialty Attack[]
- The acid attacks will not occur unless the player is within a close distance to the Mutated Zombie.
- If the player is directly hit by the acid balls it will inflict 15 damage.
- Direct hits from this have a high chance of giving the player the Infection Status Effect.
- The Mutated Zombie's acid gives the Deadly Radiation status effect on a direct hit or by stepping into the acid.

Notes[]
- At this current stage the Mutated Zombie does not spawn during the Blood Moon Horde.
Trivia[]
- It somewhat resembles The Last Of Us' shamblers in both appearance and function, and may have been partially inspired by them.[1]
- Due to being found only in the Wasteland biome, it is likely that the Mutated Zombies were mutated by the radiation of the nearby Nuclear Fallout Zone.
