What is a Walker in Stillskin Forest?
The Walker is the baseline infected and by far the most common. It has 100 health, hits for 10 every 1.9 seconds, and chases at 20 studs per second, so a sprinting survivor slowly pulls away. Four bat swings or three pistol body shots bring one down.

Behaviour
Walkers idle and roam by day and drift toward survivors at night. One that sees you moves through suspicion (about a second), raises the alarm, then chases and attacks. In a pack they fan out and close in from the sides rather than queueing behind each other, and they stop at arm's length instead of shoving into you.
How to deal with them
- One Walker: fight it with melee. Swing, step back, swing.
- Two or more: back into a doorway so they come one at a time, or run. You are faster.
- Watch for the wind-up. A swinging Walker slows to under half speed, which is your window to step out of reach.
- Headshots stagger them; so do melee hits and shotgun blasts.
