Welcome to my user page mysterious visitor!

I guess this is the part in which I tell you something about me:
I go by the alias off John Candlebury in the forums, place were you can find me active most of the time if you ever wanted to tell or ask me something for whatever reason.
Yeah thats about it...
Bellow are things I feel like working on.
Spitter Zombie
The spitter zombie is one of the most common and ultimately weaker special variations of the average zombie. It is, along with the shocker zombie, a ranged fighter that as its name suggests, will spit at you from a short distance away. Unluckily for you and for all nearby its saliva (and blood for that matter) is actually a horrid, flesh-melting, highly corrosive acid.
The special attack
A spitter zombie will only perform its special spit attack when closer than 10 tiles from the player, when performed, this attack will create a randomly shaped puddle of acid near or even under your feet. Due to its random nature, its possible that the attack will hit every square nearby except for the one in which you are standing, or for completely acid free paths to exist through the puddle.
The acid itself is moderately dangerous, stepping on it will damage both of your legs for a random amount up to 40 (in the unlucky case both your legs and feet were naked) and is heavily dependent on your foot wear and slightly less so on your leg wear. As an example, a pair of jeans and sneakers will often reduce the damage to a value near 20, a pair of army pants combined with boots will reduce the damage to something near 5 or negate it completely, if you get lucky; but no clothing short of power armor confers absolute protection.Other than that, the acid will also dissolve any item on the squares it occupy so be quick to snatch anything that you don't want dissolved.
Notice however, that while spitter zombies themselves are immune to their acid, other zombies aren't, so with some clever positioning and appropriate timing, you can lure other pursuing zombies through the puddle, often damaging them considerably. This comes especially handy when facing numerous pursuers, as its possible to kill or severely weaken several enemies without no considerable effort from your part.

The spitter zombie is considerably faster and a slightly better combatant than its normal counterparts, but ultimately proves no considerable danger to most survivors, and can be safely engaged in any way you see fit.
