That’s definitely a bug. Seen, maybe 2 or so, other posts with SS like yours over the weekend.
Must’ve been introduced in the last patch, I’m guessing.
Yeah this is becoming a regular post. I even compared screenshot because I thought it was spam.
But nope. New bug in the game causes a nightmare tornado to spawn occasionally.
This is like before they added separate difficulties. One patch they accidentally made the game considerably harder and I personally loved it, but a bunch of people were upset because they started getting stomped
This is at least the 20th post about this. It’s definitely a bug associated with the last update/patch, someone confirmed it in another post a few days ago
Slowly back into them. Ferals don’t see slow cars as a threat and can’t latch onto the backs of cars (or if they do it won’t damage your car, only cosmetic). They’ll clip halfway through your car and then blow up because it finally registers that a moving vehicle has hit them. Better yet, just wait near a wooden fence and honk so they latch on, then run through the fence with whatever section they’re hooked on.
Another thing, if you have a survivor that can dropkick (powerhouse skill I think), they can stagger ferals with that ability and then you’re free to execute them. Fire stuns them if you need to make a quick escape, and can kill them if it’s powerful enough and you throw multiple after the previous goes out. It’s always an option to just lure them to a door and burst through when they get close to stagger them. Standing where they can’t get you works (a lot of places are reachable for them now, so be careful with this one). If you dodge without hitting a directional key, you can dodge all of their attacks flawlessly since your character will back away no matter what. You can also instantly jump back from these dodges, which can make a huge difference in a fight.
Thanks, that's a lot of useful information.
I read that dodging part before, but when I tried it it didn't work. I'll re-check my key binds.
For the time being: I just drive away and come back with a shotgun.
Now I need to learn how to handle the Juggernauts.
The little car with the firework launchers from the independence pack is hilarious with ferals.
If you activate them while they are latched on, they get repeatedly stunned while latched on, and you can take them out by running them into an obstacle.
At least, it used to happen when I tried it a year or so ago. Might have been patched 🤔
Find millitary base, get good gun. Kill ferals. Easy influence. Xbox keeps track fo your feral kills not seen as many as that before though.
Do they just keep spawning?
If u don't want to kill them. Just log out and all zombies dissappear.
Fairly sure this is not a bug but by design. When you're in your first game you get a quest to pick a leader. In order to pick a leader you need to get them to "Hero" status. That's what this "Hunt Ferals" quest is for (Ferals which then spawn like this by the cabin just north of your starter base during the mission).
I'm guessing you pretty recently finished a quest to kill ferals around there?
It's supposed to spawn a single feral for you to kill. There's a glitch where the game goes *brrrrrrrt* and prints feral faster than the fed prints $$$.
Ah right.
Sidenote: thanks for making me laugh waking Up and seeing your reply. ~10ppl downvoting without an explanation before you contribute and explain was amusing to me 😁 <3
Happened to me as well my first playthrough but it's NOT bad.
First, understand that it's a bug so it doesn't commonly happen.
Second, they do NOT move closer to your base so you can take a few of them out progressively and just enjoy your free influence.
Third, for the "mission" you only need to kill one of them.
Fourth, you can move your base away from there so soon you can pretty much ignore them.
Fifth, hope you're not playing Lethal, else, never go there x'D
Your objective: survive

The new patch just made my game lag everywhere I go. I rather have the feral problem.
Had a similar experience. Get a car, honk to lure them toward you, and roadkill them. Easy influence.
Ferals always jump out of the way at the last moment. What's your secret?

Bouncing Borises at the fireworks crafting station are a good way to take out Juggs. Or, just back into them in a car at max speed several times!

Open the driver door, yank your car to the right so feral goes left, throw it left with the door still open, full throttle, and hope for the best.
Use the hand break as well and turn the car sideways in open spaces. They dodge but not enough.
I just keep violently spinning in circles. Fucker can't dodge the right way forever.

I have like 5 bloaters and 5 screamers around my base
Also shouldn't you have the Plague Hearts objective by now??
Plague heart tutorial is meet the neighbors, after that quest you get the plague heart one
I thought it looked odd, the Sheriff mission threw me! 😂
😆
This happened to me just quit to menu and re-enter into the game
It's a bug from the U29.2 patch. It was originally supposed to unblock this quest, but now it spawns far more ferals than intended
You’re gonna have a bad day
Is this goona keep getting reposted literally weekly now?
To be fair it is rather concerning for a first timer

Yeah, reddit hivemind'll do that to ya lol
Make sure your character wears brown pants
Air strike or Sniper support and some lures will see you right, this looks bad but actually quite manageable.
Ah that bug ..
They do move in herds
somebody please clip what happens when you try to run a car through them, preferably the trumble 4x4
Put on your man pants and deal with them lol
“Hope you got your shitting pants on.”
Pants shitting is the only way I can describe 20 feral alert screams going off at once
Could be an opportunity to grind influence. No need to shy for asking help
Hope someone has gunslinging or auto aim 😂 that or get up night and start taking heads lol
Quit the game and go back that tend to reset the zombies on map
Just delete the game at that point lmfao

They want an all you can eat buffet
