📋 About This Mod

Adjusts the movement of hordes and freakers out in the world to their basic walking pace.

This .pak reduces the movement of hordes, bleachers and all wandering swarmers to a walking pace.

Used in conjunction with massive horde numbers and large freaker spawns for a purely Romero-Walking Dead simulation.

Thanks to KaiHelios for his Asset Editor tool.

The Remastered Broken Road version is easier than ever to prepare for modding

Step 1: Go to the Days Gone Broken Road {game directory}\BendGame\Content\sfpaks

- Rename sfpaks folder to anything else. For simplicity sake rename it sfpaksMOD

Step 2: Inside the renamed sfpaks folder, find and rename startuppackages.pak to startuppackages_mod.pak

Step 3: Place any mods you wish into the Days Gone Broken Road {game directory}\BendGame\Content\Paks

A note on load order.

 This mod should be loaded after any mod that addresses freaks or hordes so that it overwrites the movement to a walk. It's safe to change the index number to reflect this.

 The hit points of freakers were doubled x2 because while shambling they were far too easy to knock down. It takes 6 machete hits to drop one now without any skill bonuses, and other weapons will vary. One bullet to the head will almost certainly drop them though.

If used with the Freakers Evolved Nightmare by TanGenT5612, the updated one should work with the Nightmare by keeping his changes in freaker behaviour, health and awareness but still slow the horde swarmers and bleachers to a walking pace. In testing it works by having 500-Nightmare, then 505-WalkFreak in order. Loading this mod before his mods will change nothing at all, and his Freaker mod will be the priority with full speed freakers, and enhanced behaviour.
