Patient Zero is a fast zombie that appears in Wave 0000000 and under the lake in the game lobby when voting for a map. Patient Zero's name likely means that this zombie is the first host of a disease that commonly causes an outbreak.
Appearance[]
Patient Zero is a gray mysterious figure. It has two types of masks on its face; a surgeon mask and a breathing mask. The torso and legs are made of black pebble, and the skin is pale gray. The noticeable features on Patient Zero are the metal bands on its arms and left leg. It is also about the same size as a Boss1.
Tactics[]
- This zombie is not very dangerous as it has low health. Using any high DPS (Damage Per Second) towers such as Golden Commando and Zed can take it out with ease.
- Flame based towers such as Flamethrower and Hallowboomer can slow down Patient Zero by 40%. This is also applicable to the Sleeter that can slow Patient Zero down by 20%.
- Patient Zero is a zombie designed more for disturbance than power, due to its sound effects having horror, and that its health is not high enough for it to be a threat so far into the game.
