I noticed the zombie walk cycles look a bit different after the update where they got rid of survivor mode but haven't seen anyone talk about it. it looks like they walk a lot slower until they start chasing you i think

It's in the speed setting, Slow shamblers and Shamblers.

I think survivor was renamed to something else.

from what ive seen everyone says that the new version of survivor is outbreak, but it seems theres a lot of differences like this one. I never played on anything but survivor before, is this how things looked on apocalypse mode before too?

apocalypse did have mixed speeds

#

you can always check your presets settings from sandbox.

#

survivor was the one with a spiffo battered tailored to combat right?
