Ok so i never ever make steam guides so i dont really know how to do this but whatever. Anyway.

Zombies do not have set spawns on the map, meaning they do not have areas from where they come from. They can spawn 'anywhere' on the map. Once you do not have eyes on an area on the map or the view is blocked by an object they can spawn. However they cant spawn around you no. If you have your back to a hallway they wont spawn in said hallway, but they will spawn near and around the corner of it and come at you.

Its just the line of sight from you and your teammates. If anyone of you breaks line of sight of an area even for a second they can and will spawn there. indoor areas are the worst at times becase every corner you turn they may start spawning infront and behind you.


When i hear "Oh shut the door so they cant come in" Or "Keep the doors open so we can see them coming" i roll my eyes. It does not matter, even if the bloody cornersof that doorway are not seen by you or your teammates any number of zombies can spawn there. Now that is not to say it wont help a little, sure. Shutting the door will stop them from getting in...for about a second. The AI knows how to open doors. Keeping doors open will allow you to see down that hallway stopping zombies from spawning there (if there is one, a door leading to the outside just lets the zombies spawn from both sides of said door.) but that would mean you need someone keep watch there. And if said person looked away for a 'second' many zombies will spawn.


Hey, see that lamp post over there? Yeah, that is a nice lamp post...now lets look away for a second. Huh? whats that sou-proceeds to be mauled to death by the 20 zombies that spawend behind the lamp post.

Even outside in the open you are not safe from the line of sight spawn. And no, i am not joking. They are able to spawn behind something as small as a lamp post. Small as in wide not height, ehh. trash cans, cars,boxs etc. if you can not see behind it, they spawn behind it. This is why you see so many last stands made by the only human left end in their death. They run around trying to train the zombhies and whoa, where did that one zombie come from? There was nothing behind that car just a second ago.



Unless an update has come out recently. turrets can 'see' zombies, but do not count towards line of sight. You can place a turret in a hallway and leave it alone for a second and its suddenly overwhelmed

On a side note turrets are really good, they have 100% accuracy and never run out of ammo. But watch out, they wont stop fireing once they see a zombie. So it will fire right through you or any teammate to hit its target.

Lucky its not all bad, they dont spawn right behind you, so to speak. But they do spawn behind the object behind you, eh. here i made a thing to help show you what i mean.



Here you can see what i am on about (I hope) You are looking down one hallway dealing with some zombies while the rest of your team is holding off the hordes from the other two hallways.


This is what will happen if your team heads up one of the hallways while your still busy with yours. Note that you are a little ways into it, so if you look left or right you will only see walls. not the other two hallways.


notice how close the zombies are now spawning behind you? This may give off the idea that they can spawn right on your back. And even with one of your team mates looking down his hallway,becase he can not see the rest of it its still giving the zombies enough room to spawn.




This is coming to the end of the guide now and i really have no idea how to end it so. I feel like i need to just remind everyone that if you are trying to get past an open door with a seeming endless wave of zombies coming out with only 60 seconds left on the bomb timer (we have all been there.) Make a push. Yes i know they may stop spawning in a second or two but a great offense is the best defense. It may seem smart at times to wait it out. But all you need is just one person to get their eyes in that room and boom! Its no longer a spawn room for zombies. yes the one making the push is going to be taking some hits but by doing so you may just buy you and your team enough time to get out of there before the bomb goes off.


Ok i hope this helps someone, once more like all things games can be updated and change. So if the spawning is changed in anyway do feel free to add me and let me know so this may be updated. Ok bye.
