Toxic Zombies Rules
-
Upon elimination, a Toxic Zombie inflicts 1 Wound on its assailant if they are both in the same Zone. This is called a Toxic Blood Spray. Toxic Blood Sprays are Zombie attacks.
Example 1: Elsa attacks and kills a Toxic Walker standing in her Zone. The Toxic Walker is eliminated and hits Elsa with a Toxic Blood Spray, inflicting 1 Wound on her.
Example 2: While standing in an adjacent Zone, Neema shoots a Toxic Runner with her sniper rifle before it can grab Elsa. The kill doesn't wound Neema, because she and her target are in different Zones. As there's no Toxic Blood Spray, Elsa isn't wounded either.
Illustration captions: "Neema shoots down the Toxic Zombie with her sniper rifle. This does not cause a Toxic Blood Spray, as Neema killed it from another Zone." / "Elsa knocks out a Toxic Zombie with her bat. As they both stand in the same Zone, the Zombie delivers a Toxic Blood Spray, and Elsa suffers a Wound."
-
Toxic Zombies exist in all types: Fatties, Runners, Walkers, etc. They have the same characteristics and get the same targeting priority level as their counterparts but are removed first in Ranged Combat (and car attacks). Players still choose the targets in Melee Combat.
Example: Derek shoots with an Assault Rifle in a Zone where two Walkers, a Toxic Walker, a Runner, and a Toxic Runner stand. He scores two hits with his first Ranged Combat Action. A Toxic Walker and a Walker are removed. Derek scores two more hits with his second Ranged Combat Action. The last Walker and the Toxic Runner are removed. A Runner remains. Let's roll the dice!
Illustration captions: "First salvo. With two hits, Derek kills the Toxic Walker and a Standard Walker." / "Second salvo. Two more hits. Derek kills the last Standard Walker and the Toxic Runner."
-
Toxic Fatties come with an escort of 2 Toxic Walkers.
-
Toxic Zombies do not benefit from the extra activation cards of other Zombie types.
-
Eliminating a Toxic Zombie with a car attack does not cause a Toxic Blood Spray.
May I Refrain from Killing?
Sidebar accompanying rules 3–5:
A Survivor may not refrain from killing Toxic Zombies.
In other words, when you score more successes than needed to kill Standard Zombies while there are Toxic Zombies in the Zone, the extra successes are distributed among Toxic Zombies.
