📋 About This Mod
There's not much else to say. This mod simply fixes a grudge I have with the logic behind sneak attacks.
Picture this: You are hidden, completely unseen, with a sniper rifle at the top of a tower. Your damage will be either 1x or 4x, depending on whether you are holding CTRL or not. Makes no sense. What property does your awesome gluteus apply to your bullet while you are squatting? I assume the extra damage is a property of the zombie being caught unexpectedly, and so it shall be.
This mod only removes the "IsCrouching" condition in the few cases where "IsNotAlert" is also checked for sneak damage (and the extra dismember chance for bows, I believe). So, it's not like you are going to apply sneak damage unloading a full magazine on a zombie, or suddenly do 4x more damage with sledgehammers that didn't have a sneak bonus to begin with.
To be perfectly clear: "IsCrouching" condition is removed from the bonus proc of Sneak Attack, but nothing else. Zombies still need to be unaware of you for it to apply, you are still quieter while doing things crouching, just as before, and after the first shot, the zombie knows about you just as before.
Now you can walk around without the need to press a key to extract more juicy damage multipliers out of you ass, as long as you remain undetected
Sneak Attack Standing Up is a gameplay mod for Project Zomboid that removes the crouching requirement for sneak attack damage, allowing players to deal bonus damage while standing as long as they remain undetected. It specifically removes the 'IsCrouching' condition from sneak attack procs, without affecting other stealth mechanics.

⚠️ Cons
- May reduce the incentive to use crouch for sneak attacks, altering intended gameplay balance
- Only affects sneak attack damage, not other stealth-related mechanics
- Limited scope may not appeal to players who enjoy the original stealth system
This mod is for players who find it illogical that standing still while undetected doesn't grant sneak attack bonuses, especially snipers or ranged users. It's also for those who want a more forgiving stealth experience without crouching. Players who prefer the challenge of managing crouch for sneak attacks may want to skip this mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Ensure you are undetected before attacking to get the sneak damage bonus
- This mod does not make you quieter while standing, so use cover and distance
- After the first shot, the zombie will be alerted, so reposition if needed
