no ,i know what u speak of
no ,i know what u speak of it's unknown if this is a zombie bug or a legitimate attack by the zombie itself. sometimes when the zombie lunges at you and you dont avoid they can either latch onto you and start biting or they do that to you where you get hit twice and cant block

Yes, this is a bug — one
Yes, this is a bug — one which has stung me many times. >:(
I think the biting animation is supposed to be played when you take damage, but it isn't.

It's not a bug, it's an attack.
"Their leap attack has a chance of latching onto and immobilizing Knights. Knights will not be able to move, shield, or change direction while a zombie is on top of them, so keep attacking it until if falls off!" - Wiki
I've noticed sometimes if they don't complete the attack, you sometimes get stuck anyway.

Oh god, THIS bug.
Yeah, I've
Oh god, THIS bug.
Yeah, I've had it before. It ticks me off as well, It makes me frantically scroll weapons back to my sword to get him off of me, but each bite seems to make it harder to swap em out.
But hey, that's what a team is for, your getting stuck, they come over and save you.
That is if they want to at least. :c

This is not a bug
They jump up on you making it impossible for you to shield bump them off and they decide to bite you You can easily get them of by swinging your sword.

I believe Bladestorm is right
I believe Bladestorm is right BUT if you had your shield up when the zombie jumped, it should've knocked it back.

This has in fact happened to
This has in fact happened to me many times, coincidentally around zombies too. I'll look out to make sure none of them jump on me.

It is not a bug. Zombies do
It is not a bug. Zombies do this all the time if they jump at you and your shield isn't up. This is a attack. Notice their legs are kinda of pointed inward like they are wrapped around you and they bite.

If your shield is up well
If your shield is up well before they land on you, they'll bite anyway, but it'll hit your shield. You have to time the shield just right to bounce them back.
And I've ended up immobilised after whacking one off me too, I'm pretty sure that's a bug. Not a big deal if there's nothing around you, but if there's a whole mob of zombies, you'll get hit.

I can't believe no ones
I can't believe no ones mentioned the other thing Zombies do, I guess it may be just me, but I've seen others who looked as if they have experienced this too:
Sometimes, a Zombie just starts swiping me, and I just stand there frozen unable to do anything for two-swipes of the Zombie, this is hardly fair if it's an actual game play addition, because unlike the lunge you have no warning that you need to get out of the way, sure you can see the swipe, but by that time your Knight is frozen unable to act.

Its abug and I encountered this so much i sent a support request and bug reports. They say they're working on it. Though an Admin confirming this could be nice

Yes! That is THE most annoying thing that happens to me, apart from lag. Suddenly, nothing works and the zombie gets 2-3 hits in before I regain control of my knight >:C
It could be when you are reloading - you cannot equip a shield whilst you are reloading, but you should be able to move. Maybe not with an autogun though, you might not be able to move at all, don't remember...
Occasionally I have to time my shots to avoid reloading, such as against multiple gunpuppies.
