Major engaging the Zombie.

Zombies are enemies encountered in the abandoned KROT-1 Labs, which takes place during the Bunker/KPOT/KROT/MOLE story arc during the entire Paranoia Series.

Types[]

There are different types of Zombies.

  • Regular Zombies are former Soviet soldiers who have been trapped in the KROT-1 labs for years to come. The R2D Virus had infected almost all of the Soviet personnel, causing them to turn into undead flesh-eaters. As the years go by, their bodies had started to decompose over the course of months. They don't have hair, their noses have rotted away, their flesh being almost absent from their face, head, feet and arms, and their eyes turning into a fiery shade of red. They are the first Zombies that you will ever encounter.
  • Clone Zombies are test subjects who have gone mad, and happen to be a tad more tougher than the normal Zombies. Their right arm that has been either rotted away or eaten up to the point their arm shows their skeleton, and their lips have rotted away, with their teeth being bare.
  • Scientist Zombies are personnel from KROT-3 that have recently been infected by the creatures following the attack on the laboratory.
  • Hazmat Zombies are scientists recently infected after getting attacked and/or killed by the creatures.

Behind the Scenes[]

  • Twelve years back since the Paranoia Mod project was in full swing, there were supposed to be no regular Zombies at all. Instead, remodeled Gonomes from Half-Life: Opposing Force, had used to take their place as Mutant Zombies, and their sounds are shared from the Walkers, the Dog Beasts, and the Whitley-Thing all together from The Thing video game.
  • According to BuZZeR, the R2D virus is named after R2D2 from Star Wars, while the virus is directly inspired by the viruses from the Resident Evil series.
  • Before Paranoia was released, the Zombies were to be fought much earlier in the Temple of Science area, but this was changed to them being fought upstairs instead.
  • There was meant to be a deformed Clone Zombie that was to be capable of using and firing a pistol, but due to possibly contradicting the way Zombies behaved in the game, the idea was scrapped. Their model name, is zombie_slow_armed.mdl.
    • In Paranoia 2: Savior, there are some zombified soldiers and hazmats using AKs and PKPs.

Trivia[]

  • There used to be a bug where Zombies can kill the player in one single swipe in hard mode, but in a later version, this was fixed.
