Project Zomboid: Never Be Surprised By Upstairs Zombies Again with Stairs Alert
The ever-present threat of the undead in Project Zomboid is a constant challenge, and nowhere is this more true than when navigating the multi-story buildings that dot the landscape. Many a survivor has met their demise by stepping onto a staircase, only to be greeted by a horde of shambling horrors waiting above. The “Stairs Alert” mod aims to eliminate this frustrating and often fatal surprise, giving you crucial intel before you commit to that ascent.
How Stairs Alert Enhances Your Survival
This clever mod introduces a simple yet effective mechanic to give you a heads-up about potential threats on the floors above. When you approach a staircase, simply pressing your interaction key will trigger your character to cautiously peek and assess the situation. Based on your character’s position and line of sight, the mod will attempt to detect any zombies on the level above.
