#Getting a Million kills. This is a developing story. tune in to see what im doin.
plucky maple
Alr i just saw lamprey lost his run, mind you I didn't want to take it, and I couldn't have done it easily, but I figured I wouldn't try until he either got it or died. I have gotten lots of practice in, and now that it's a seemingly even playing ground, I'm gonna finally test my skills, and go for the Big 1M myself. I'll try and post a screenshot every 10,000 kills. Wish me luck.
my attempt will be on modded PZ. If you think any mod I'm using is cheating, I do not want to hear it. The only thing I'm going to be doing that is technically cheating, is using tile picker. I'm not gonna be crazy with it, but if I am living in a base for god knows how long, I'm gonna make it look as nice as possible.
My build is going to be the following.
Ssaulvi's legendary sword collector for my job
Run n gun from Insurgent
Sentimental from one of many trait mods
Addict from one of many trait mods
Antique collecter from one of many trait mods (im gettin tired of typing this)
Lucky
pack mule
Quickndead
and probably any other very niche negative traits i can find to balance it out

damn I'm jelly of that outfit

alright. I made a small mistake when I started the save. I meant to do my usual 4x4x4 but since I'm a dumbass the spawn rate was the same as vanilla. This is on normal spawn settings. Consider this my final warmup.
also, for anyone who doesnt think i can actually do this, here's some proof i know what I am talking about:
each image is from a differant save file
plucky maple
let me also clarify: Generally my rule when I play, is every 1000 kills, I get to spawn an item in via the cheat menu (the only exception being a firearm). Most of the time I just spawn in stuff to decorate my base with, but occaisionally I will give myself a weapon like the yamato or the murasama, which as some people may know, is unobtainable unless you use debug or cheat menu or whatever. I really enjoy using those mods, and I am going to follow that same rule for this attempt. I can understand why people may think this is cheating, or maybe just making the challenge a lot easier. This is the honest truth. Anyone can get a million kills. Lamprey nearly got it, infact he might as well have got it, but he didn't at the end. The hardest part of this challenge is actually getting the 1 million kills. It isn't surviving while you are doing it, it's instead actually managing to commit to the task, and eventually hit the number.
If I spawn myself a sword, that won't make it any less of a nightmarish challenge.
If you disagree, go do your own fucking run, with your own rules, and brag about how you think you did it the legit way. I'm doing it my way, and that's that.

alr, 10k kill mark is done. this took me much longer than I hoped it would. Believe it or not I fell down a flight of stairs yesterday and fucked my arm up which delayed it a bit. This is a video of me getting 100 kills with one .50 bmg bullet from my cheytac, for my 10k kill milestone thing.

respawns on or off btw
whatever the default said
like its in sandbox mode the only thing i changed in terms of spawns was 4x start and 4x peak
the respawns shouldnt matter that much though, im playing with the most map mods possible, ie erie county, silverton/all of those maps on the far bottom left, la grange, kingsmouth and all of the surrounding ones.
worst case scenario if there isnt enough spawning to meet my goal of 50k kills in an IRL week, ill just restart

my pc died a while back, so i need to restart
ill probably restart today
i might not update as often
maybe at the end of each time i play
ill post some screenshots in honor of my last run
mental orbit
My attempt.
No mods. Started in July 2021, before official build 41 release.
117827 killed zeds. (no Molotov cocktail included)
3 years, 11 moths, 11 days survived.
Favorite weapon: Crafted Spear.
Whole West-Point, Muldraugh, Riverside, Rosewood (Prison and countryside too), Dixie, Walley-Station, March-Ridge, Louisville (at least 98% of it), Military Base and even Country-Club under the Riverside are cleared.
From this moment comes such a problem that I can't play the game normally. It has become for me more counting damage and applying tactics for killing zombies than survival game. I can't play normally with my friends because everything I do is killing zeds instead of surviving and building a base.
Also I cleared out this unfinished town.
odd narwhal
No update?
zenith saddle
Even 900K kills is a long, long way from 1mill kills. Specially if you forget to do survival things like gathering food and finding a steady source of water in the process. The closest screenshot we have so far has barely cracked 10K.
I wouldn't hold my breath tbh.
Oh wait, sorry. He was at 20K. "Only" 980.000 to go.

1 million kills is kinda crazy. That's roughly 450000 shells (varies), which would be over 18000 shell boxes, or 42000 boxes of other ammo taking into account every bullet instantly kills the targeted zombie. So yeah using guns isn't an option for this
It would also probably be more than the durability of every single melee weapon on the map, if every weapon can get 250 kills (already too high) and repaired 3 times to get 1k, that would be over 2000 one-shot weapons or even more (probably over double) non one-shot weapons.
So after awhile you would have to resort to cutting down every tree and foraging to make other weapons like spears and stone axes which would be unlimited since foraging infinitely restocks.
All of this not taking into account molovs since theoretically one molotov can clear the entire map eventually

karmic flame
Guns can easuly get more then 250 kills. Alot of weapons can
The ammo is the problem
without some crafting mod you won't have nearly enough for 200k let alone a million
and 200k is being generous
actually way too generous
so eventually once those become useless you have to resort to melee, and if the durability for that runs out to foraging for crafted weapons
I probably did the math wrong so all the melee weapons on the map might last you to 1mil but it's still wayy too high for guns
uncut talon
The ammo is the problem
Vanilla, oh absolutely. I mean there's enough shells for 50k easyly if you goto all the main places. Including house ammo honestly probably could push 100-150k on shells alone. Including other ammo, 9mm probably acounts for 60k about, 44, 5k, 308 & 223, 50k, 556, 10-15k. 45, 15k. Im probably being a little nice on the numbers. But thats about 350k on ammo by itself.
(Also useing abundant loot settings as my set point)
karmic flame
Yeah with max loot settings you can probably scrape away 300k
keep in mind 9mm won't one-shot zomboids most of the time
uncut talon
Melee weapons could easyly be 1m. A single crowbar is 1-2.5k zombies. An axe is bout 1k. Considering repar is viable for 3 times and maintenance you could maybe dubble that
uncut talon
keep in mind 9mm won't one-shot zomboids most of the time
9mm can 9/10 with aiming 10
uncut talon
Witch you got after 250 boxes of shells
karmic flame
250 boxes is alr crazy though lmao
pretty sure even with the max ammo loot abundance you'll have to loot all of doe valley for 250 shotgun boxes
uncut talon
250 boxes is alr crazy though lmao
Honestly thats on the extreme high end
karmic flame
boxes in general you'll get

also i'm not sure 1 million zombies are even on the map on default population

Aiming 3 is only like 5 boxes needed if you know how to clump correctly
karmic flame
Clumping doesn't matter
As long as you've got like 4 zombies in your sight the rest is up to chance
with mods like advanced trajectory the bullet survives but in vanilla if you miss a target it's just missed
uncut talon
Clumping doesn't matter
It makes it easyer by far
karmic flame
Aiming 3 is only like 5 boxes needed if you know how to clump correctly
If you pick veteran yes otherwise it's probably double that
actually veteran alr gives you 2 levels so that's just a boost
uncut talon
If you pick veteran yes otherwise it's probably double that
God no lol. With vet, thats like a box, maybe 2
karmic flame
50 kills? 3 levels?
even at the lower levels that's not much
it's 1xp per kill or 4xp if you get 2 kills at once
uncut talon
it's 1xp per kill or 4xp if you get 2 kills at once
Ok, bit off. More like 2-3
karmic flame
it's 300xp/2 150xp
uncut talon
So its dubbled
karmic flame
so 150 bullets with pistols, or probably around 60 with shotguns
so 3 boxes for 1 level
which is the cheapest level
from there xp reqs scale very steeply while also losing the xp boost gradually
leaving you at 35% gains at level 5 compared to the 200% at level 2
uncut talon
But starting as a police officer would be better looking at starting aiming level
karmic flame
yes, but not having the xp boost will hinder you even more
also desensitisation is basically essential, no panic will greatly increase damage output over time which will make melee weapons harder to break
uncut talon

Was about to sat that probably outweighs it lol
But beta blockers do exist

Panic gets less over time. So eventually you wont even need em
karmic flame
Panic gets less over time. So eventually you wont even need em
Not really no, just time to lose panic
and time to reach max panic level
so it won't really change anything when fighting hordes for more than like one hour
uncut talon
Fair
karmic flame
That ve lvl 3 and decencitized
huh?
Hunter is +1 Aim +1 Short Blade +1 Trapping +1 Sneaking and you start the game with all Trapping recipes
no desensitisation, only veteran gives that.

It'd be amazing to see someone do it. But don't expect to do it in a month. And don't start bragging about it before hitting 20K kills.
I mean 20K is a lot of kills. But it's 980.000 kills short of the target. Not even close.
zenith saddle
This person was at 200K? I guess I misremembered. But even that is still a long damn way off the target.
And IIRC this person was spawning in weps and ammo at certain milestones. Every 1K? 10K something like that. Doing it vanilla is not a quick job and it's never gonna be easy.
Spawn in an M60 and a couple thousand rounds: That's a whole lot of free kills. Stick to shotties with that rule and you're golden.
karmic flame

you can only start bragging about it once reaching at least 1/5 of the goal

Agreed. And even then you're still a long way from the target so don't get too cocky. Getting too confident is how you die. That's what my 1600-ish hours in this game has taught me. Never get too comfortable. That's how you die. Again.
odd narwhal
I have like, 2 hours in this Game, but ima try n do it, cause I'm a crazy person
zenith saddle
We all want to kill as many as possible. But I'm pretty sure we've all gotten too confident and died somewhere between 5K and 10K kills. I can't even imagine what it takes to stay focused. vigilant and slightly scared for much longer than that. At some point we all get over confident and die from something stupid.
karmic flame
I have 9k so far in a playthrough
And that's in almost a month, if I got 10k each month that would be like almost 10 years
Close to 9 years
zenith saddle
It ain't no easy task. I'm sure you can rack up 10K a week if you don't have a job/school/family/life and really go at it. But even at that rate it'd still take you nearly two years to get there.
But to keep that up you'll also need very high population which makes things more dangerous, respawns set at extreme and quite a few large addon cities.

Biggest thing is just not getting bored, like the main reason why I haven't tried again after my pc died was because I just didn't find the constant killing for literal irl hours fun. I still don't, but I also hate to see people disappointed in here

after all you are setting the precedent for all future runs
karmic flame

plucky maple
if its available, i might as well use it
karmic flame
I mean at this point I can easily just get a gunship or nuke mod and break the "fastest 50k record"
Not really a record if you're freely modding
Untaeakwed britas is already pushing the limits of a legitimate playthrough, just adding more is basically cheating
plucky maple
my rules for myself are this: i can spawn in a weapon after each 1000 kills, but i need to use that weapon exclusively for the next 2000 kills.
second rule, no mods or weapons that are just a click button and kill a bunch of zeds, you need to do it manually.
3, anything is fair game in terms of mods, except god mode, i make it so i dont have to worry about food and water, which is probably my biggest crutch.
last off, vehicle kills arent like illegal, but i cant rely on them too much. molotovs or other things that spread fire, or explode, are off limits unless im using it for something other than killing zeds, which is rare given the task at hand
plucky maple
Define manually
gun, melee weapon
less automatic than just click boom
1k dead
if you want to get the most out of each bullet, turn your pen up, and even then the most 1 bullet can kill is 100 zeds, and not only do you need a big gun for that, you also need to line them up

i am running at most 50 fps on a good day
have you ever heard the saying, dont offer criticism without a solution?
if 1m has been done already, sure maybe me doing it my way is less impressive, but nope it hasnt, so after i get it, you can bitch and moan all you want, and do a more hardcore run to shut me up
im not going to cater to anyone here, im dedicating days of my life to this stupid challenge. i think i should have the right to dictate how i spend my time
I'm gonna go over my game plan one more time.
PZ zombies are a lot like cattle. they group up and can be herded pretty easily as long as you know your surroundings. I've studied many many modded maps, and ultimately i have a few areas where i can attract zeds, and then shoot straight to kill many with one bullet. since I dont play with hunger or thirst, the main thing i need to search for is ammo. Im going to be using a variety of gun mods, but mainly britas will be my choice. i know the spawns pretty well, and i can very quickly find something i can work with, the problem is the ammo type. 50bmg is a go to, but it only has 10 rounds a box, so i need lots of boxes.
the kingsmouth military weapon warehous should probably serve me well with ammo. ill be playing on 2 month loot respawn. but i will be also trying to explore the whole map as like a side mission.
karmic flame
Using cheaty mods to beat a challenge isn't impressive, period.

got a cool fit though
uncut talon
Using cheaty mods to beat a challenge isn't impressive, period.
I kinda understand after starting myself. I found very quickly it feels too cheaty when I got rid of all my needs. But at the same time even with cheats i found very quickly that getting 1m, even if i whent all out cheating would take a long ass time, unless you sat and played pz straight with no hiccups, and spawning zombies so you don't have to round them/find em id take 5-6 weeks. Now remove spawning them yourself id take 12-15 weeks, ive found (still with the mods making it far easyer) that rounding and getting zombies into a ball or line is like 20%-30% of the time. This is still on the agenda that your playing PZ straight like its your job. So with all that it still would take a lot of time, and this is without considering you have a life, lol. So if you add in your life, were geting to 6+ months. So yes its easier but its still no walk in the park
Anyhow personally, im going to just sit for the long run and prepare for a 10 month plus run as i readd my needs.

Yeah I'm restarting my save as we speak. My mods got all fucked up and I wanted to redo my traits anyway. I think I'm gonna cut down on the stuff I don't use
Got to a little above 22k kills
Hopefully I'll be able to get 10k tonight on this new save

you guys should do 100k kills vanilla no fire/no multihit

Pretty sure OP can't and/or wont do that. 100 kills pr bullet? gtfo
I've got mods that'll let me kill all zombies within a certain radius. That doesn't make me good at killing.
Kiting is an artform in itself, not gonna deny that, but translating that to any kind of skill at killing mobs in this game doesn't tell the whole story.

i can, but you are right when you say I won't. The last person to go for 1 million took years to do get to like 950k or something a little less than 1 million. First I'm gonna get 1 million, and then I'll make it harder. The challenge has already taken my long enough (albeit because of my own stupidity, not because I died (PC bricks, mods fuck it up etc).

What is the alternative?
Like Kiting is the way to go in general if you want to kill a ton and not use fire (which I never do any way)
plucky maple
Pretty sure OP can't and/or wont do that. 100 kills pr bullet? gtfo
The 100 kills a bullet requires me to kite 100 zombies to line up, which generally the places where hundreds are, its not exactly like a big ass hallway, its a complex or an apartment building or some sort of compund. Sure, maybe it isn't as impressive as not using multihit and then just killing them all one by one, but again, this is taking me waaay longer than I thought it would.
plucky maple
i would, but in vanilla it would get pretty boring after some time tbh
EXACTLY. Imagine how boring doing that 10 times would be vanilla.
look, No matter who gets 1 million first, no matter how they do it, I'll have a lot of respect for them, but until someone does, the bar of entry is non existant, which means pretty much everything goes.

honestly, not realy. but heres a simple one, learn to just enjoy it, i like killing thousands of zeds, so i kill thousands, tho that is the point of this run as well as its my attempt to 1M kills. theres also the fact of, dont get cocky, the moment you do youl get your reminder.
as well, hears a bit of a paragraph. (good thing i saved it as it is good advice)
just really more ways to play or things to do
Cut down and play with more vanilla feeling mods, (like if you use britas use Fireames B41 or VFE [britas is good for gun runing runs not so much for a chill run]) instead of spawning in the same location, spawn someplace new or where ya haven't been a lot (map mods are great for this, raven creak is a good one for example) dont rush straight to firestations, police stations or any other common loot location, dont base in your normal spots, instead find new, outa the way or unique spots, theres a good few rual locations that are good for this, as well as wherehouses and office spaces are good unique spots to build into your own, or you can make a bace from scratch (that new build menu mod is great for this, but more builds is good to but on the older side). In short, Slow down, and take time to connect with your character. Wonder what there feeling, how do they react to the apocalypse? Are they sad that pizza has gone bad and now they wana learn how to make there own pizza? Is this the wakeup call they needed? Or has this put them down even more and they refuse to believe all this is real, "maybe its all a game" they think to themselves. When you are gonna be at nase for a bit, maybe change into some more constable clothes. This game has endless possibilities, you just have to want them.

I don't blame you for not trying to do this with a crowbar. But still feel like kiting zeds until you can line up 100 in a row to kill with one bullet from an OP gun is inflating the numbers quite a bit. It's pretty close to what I personally would call cheating. The only skill involved there is the kiting. Which is fair enough so I wont call it cheating. Just inflating the numbers. Or maybe a bit pointless, but then again what's the point of anything anyway?
I understand that it takes time though! I wasn't even sure myself how much when you started this post, but I did the math somewhere up there. Even with a strong average of 10K kills a day, every single day, that's 100 days. 10K a day is quite a bit without a few of the larger addon maps and having to scrounge for water/food/weapons/ammo every day since you can't really have a permanent base anywhere if you're gonna be traversing the map over and over to go somewhere the zeds have respawned.

Honestly you get it. Lots of people think fire is the way to go for killing lots of zeds but to me that's just as bad in terms of what's considered cheating. Honestly 100k melee only would be tough, like if I use a gun compared to a melee I've practiced alot with (one that I know the hit distance the multihit etc) I can get 15k an irl day vs maybe 5k an irl day. Personally I just don't have the time. And I also like seeing the number go up, so if it goes up faster then I'm happier.

With my population settings I don't need to move around a ton. Basically the big modded maps do the trick for probably the first 20-30k then I move. And that's a small map as well. Places like trelai, the museum, Chinatown EX, La grange, the observatory, pitstop(if I'm lucky) coryeadon (again if I'm lucky) all can get me a good 30-40k, except the museum which just depends on where I spawn, which road I come from to get there etc etc
the main thing is just ammo. normally I spawn somewhere close to a military base/outpost/depo so I just use whatever is the most abundant and then when im out then i might move.

Actually LV is one of my last stops. I only go there if I base in the motel in the south east corner, or if Im going to la grange. and i've looked at fort rock ridge, i just haven't learned the kiting spots yet.
normally I stick to what I know first, and then branch out once I get a feel for what I'm using.

Almost all of my bases have been in really secluded spots. I Like the downtime. Especially since that zbay mod came out. You can't really afford to go far when a package is coming, so you need to stay put and I don't personally enjoy getting trapped, no matter how good at kiting you get, a tight space is a tight space.

thing is PZ is a game with no limitations. it has no rules. the way i see it is if you play with 100+ mods and get 1m your still a crazy guy and deserves recognition for that. why? because no matter what you do its gonna take a lot of time, ive just passed 100K kills on my run wich has 150+ mods and im on day 50 just about, with 2 hour days thats about 70 hours of playtime on one save. of corce if someone goes and dose it vanilla or with far less mods then good on then, its defiantly harder vanilla and it will easyly take 4-5 times longer then my current projection, if they do that then they defiantly deserve a bigger recognition. but in the end it dosent matter, the only rule in PZ, is to have fun. thats all that matters. beceause theres no prise for being the first.
