As we all know, the Concrete Jungle series of levels are by far the hardest stratum in the game. Poison zombies are ridiculously overpowered in conjunction with totems, and even after Three Rings nerfed them they remain the single most dangerous subset of enemies you will encounter in the Clockworks. Up until now I think I can speak for all of us when I say there was simply no effective way of dealing with them... at least until now. After many painstaking hours of zombie research and tactical planning, myself and Rock-Zombie have finally found a way of defeating these highly dangerous adversaries;

Now I'm sure many of you are already hitting yourselves, for not thinking of this ingenious strategy before, but I'm sure many of you are also curious as to how you can apply this strategy elsewhere. Whilst poison zombies are obviously the most dangerous of zombies, some people even have difficulty with those measily fire zombies in that boss stratum that's really a joke compared to the harsh dangers of the Concrete Jungle. Still, some people aren't as skilled as you so if you find someone in need of assistance what you should do is provide them appropriate tactical support;

Now don't all rush out at once, these anti-zombie tactical measures do take a lot of skill to execute properly, you will need to practice them on easier targets first. Also when in doubt, bring a totem with you, you never know when you will need to carry your team.

So do you have tactical anti-zombie strategies? Share them! The more ways we have of taking down these devilish adversaries, the more chance we have of preventing the inevitable zombie apocaylpse.

Funny.

It's funny cos zombies are one of the (If not the) easiest enemies in the game now due to their nerf.

Obvious!

The by far superior strategy is to use the local Gunslinger as live bait. When the zombies are busy munching on his brain, pull out your local stabby stick and run him through with gusto!

That way he will be unable to escape! Can't flee when you are missing 1.3 Lungs! With all the Zombies amassing around the fallen corpse, you are capable of evading and fleeing with immunity!

I disapprove. Regular stun

I disapprove. Regular stun zombies are clearly 100 times more dangerous. Many a innocent party members have fallen to these fell beasts!

I think you may have unlocked the secrets to struggling through the Concrete Jungle. L33t h@xx.

The best strategy against

The best strategy against zombies is to remain absolutely still; their sight is based on movement.

And if you see them raise their hand, don't run! He's only trying to give you a high five.
