Tutorial – Combat & QTE Mechanics

Zombie Bite QTE (Survival Mechanic)

  • When a zombie attempts to bite you, a Quick Time Event (QTE) will trigger.

  • You must rapidly press Q to bash the zombie away and break the grab.

  • Failure to complete the QTE will result in the zombie landing a bite.

  • Each successful bite will deal 50 HP damage.

Perfect Take Down (Timing Counter Attack)

  • If the player presses E just before the zombie’s attack connects, a melee initiation will trigger.

  • Executing this at the correct timing results in a Perfect Take Down.

  • A Perfect Take Down instantly kills the zombie and prevents any damage or QTE from occurring.

Mastering both mechanics is essential for surviving larger encounters and maintaining health in prolonged fights.
