Zombie Brain Harvesting Tips

They're not more likely to drop a brain if you kill them with a critical. That's the only way to get them to drop a brain. You have to get a headshot to get a brain. Also, there is a decent strategy if a player does not like being surrounded by zombies moving around and throwing up constantly. In the very beginning of the area there is a group of zombies in the caves before getting to the town. If the player moves slightly forward and to the left on the rocky ledge just before the area with the zombies they will chase after the character. If the player stands back and to the right on the same rocky ledge they will stop chasing the character. A player can get the zombies as close as desired and snipe them from safety. They will respawn for a while so a player can get a decent amount of brains. When the zombies stop respawning and advancing, just run in and kill the rest. There should not be many at that point (4-6 at most). You can also get their attention and then run back to the ledge. A player can then go to town and refill any ammo supplies after the zombies are all killed. Save and exit then log back in and the fight will start right next to them again. A player can get ~15 brains every time. It's the safest way to obtain brains though probably quite a bit slower.
