📋 About This Mod
I recommend to play with the 1. 3m version, vanilla range is 1. 7m.
This only affects zombies, or "biters" as they’re called in the code. It does not affect other types of enemies that can grab you.
Installation:
Pick only one of the data2.pak in the folders. If you want to reduce grabs to 1. 3 meters, then pick the data2.pak in the 1. 3m folder.
Place the chosen data2.pak in the same folder as data0.pak and data1.pak, example path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dying Light The Beast\ph_ft\source
If a data2.pak already exists, rename the new file by increasing the number by 1 (e.g., data3.pak). If that one also exists,
continue increasing the number (data4.pak, data5.pak, etc.) until you find the next available number.
This gameplay mod for 7 Days to Die lets you disable zombie grabs entirely or reduce the grab range, making encounters less frustrating. It's a simple quality-of-life tweak for players who find grab attacks annoying.
