Ransack

Ransack is a zombie skill available after purchasing Memories of Life within the Zombie skills tree.

Like all zombie skills it costs 100 XP

  • Ransack: Zombie is able to damage the interior of abandoned buildings, making them harder to search until they are repaired.

Ransacked buildings cannot be repaired if active (standing) zombies are present. In addition, ransacked buildings cannot be barricaded until the damage is repaired and it is harder to find items in a ransacked building. Ransacking also stops those with freerunning moving into the building, forcing them to the street below, and potentially causing them injury.

Only buildings containing no standing survivors can be ransacked. The act of ransacking a building also provides the zombie with 1 XP. After five ransacks, the building is ruined, requiring the construction skill and a toolbox to repair.

A ruined building then also beings the process of Decay. For everyday the building remains ruined the repair cost increases by 1ap.

An infected survivor who dies inside a building may use ransack to turn it into a Pinata.
