Project Zomboid - Which Vehicle is the Strongest?

Great idea. Can you check player damage when crashing when player have no load (could be naked) and heavy loaded with stuff on some multiplayer servers it is quite bugged for example player with heavy load gets more damage when crashing than player not carring too much. Possibly multiplayer mods affect that and it not always occurs. I was wandering is it a vanilla issue too.

Chevalier Dart is the most OP vanilla car. Fully tuned up with a performance muffler it's more quiet than a prison mouse's fart. Great for stealth loot runs or scouting trips.

realy cool video keep makin those champ

Hey, if you could do the same but with the cars of KI5, it would be awesome ! Great vid !

Good video bro

Btw not all the vehicle types are the same performance vise. For example the Dash Bulldriver's normal variant has less horsepower than its police variant. Also when you speed into the zombies its better to tap the W key so that the character switches to a lower gear thus having more torque.

It is much better to hit zombies at low speed. Your vehicles will get less damage, I believe.

Lets be real, were all using filibusters. You need to run a test on the vehicles that mod adds.

3 car mods I'd like to see are:
Autosar tuning cars(with and without upgrades)
Motorius Zone cars
Kattaj1 Zrap

Best vehicle is get a mod and make vehicle armour

cosette is still the best car, you rammed into the horde at 70 mph for all of them, the cosette normally does much better than all the other vehicles because it has a ridiculously high top speed and at max speed with speed demon it can splatter the blood of a zed on the road to the other side of the screen without slowing down. Great video though

From how roughly put together this was I can only assume tire friction and engine quality weren't standardized largely invalidating the test even further than having zombies move around randomly. Correct me if I'm wrong

btw... Valulines are different :P
I'm talking only bout vans not 6 seater or Ambulance.
1 - Standart Valuline and most of buisness ones. Its your common Valuline. Slow, boring, bad at towing vehicles and low acceleration.
2 - Spiffo Van. From game perspective its a different vehicle. First - it have 400 HP instead of 360 of standarts! It have higher max speed then standart but nothing else.
3 - Fossoil Van, McCoy Van, Post Van. Those 3 (and only 3) are different breed. Same 400 HP as Spiffo but much higher acceleration and speed then Standart ones. Also those are really good towers.

good vid thanks

good yob :D

Weird fact about horsepower and this game. It's tied to FPS, so you will actually grind through more zombies with all gfx settings down, and zoomed all the way in. When in doubt and trapped, zoom close in the ground just like crysis in the mid 2000's all over again.

the D6 also likes to flip...

Back over the zombies slowly…

Some moded cars have their engines at the rear. Does the position of the engine make a difference? What if you slam into zombies in reverse, avoiding the impact to the hood and engine?

love the flipping car i enjoyed watching your video looking forward for part 2

Do the same again but without the full speed initial crash.

This game needs tanks.

First: Better test may be "how many zombies can I hit at full speed before it breaks." Hordes have damage multipliers to cars and will wreck most any vehicle quickly in those numbers.

Second: Yes to testing modded cars, preferably in one modset per video.

Wish PZ had vanilla build able bull bars and metal reinforcements for vehicles.

I honestly like the chevalier D6 the most If I find keys for them I always choose them they are good for looting driveing and aren’t that slow

Reminds me of that one time, when I just wanted to push through some crashed vehicles, to get through, only to realize that the vehicle wouldnt fit and wasn't able to gently push through. At the time of the realization, zombies started to pile up and it was hard to reverse. In fact, it was hard turning without pushing into zombies, making it almost impossible to reverse. No panic! All will be well, it is was hard and sturdy car, until the engine started to fail. And, well, there came more zombies to help. Eventually, I was stuck in the middle of the crashed cars with probably +40 zombies around the car. It was that character's last journey, that was safe to say.

MAEK MOR CAR VEEDIO

Check out the Z.R.A.P. modded armored car. I would like to see how well it holds up.

Peak content

Vanilla game doesn't have military APC's (Armoured Personnel Carrier)????
Those will go through a mob like a knife through butter

That's why it's best to go at a horde with a bulldozer.

Mod plz

It'd be good to test some of those armored military vehicles (like the Hillbilly) to see how well they hold up against hordes and ramming zombies.

amazing work, thanks)

Neat video. I made a tierlist on reddit recently for vehicles which includes player damage per vehicle. There is also a mechanic in game that will destroy your engine when surrounded by zombies regardless of what car you are driving so that kinda invalidates the test you did. lmk if you want more details.

I think we need a better test with controls as a lot of the faster cars got further seemingly just due to speed.

Perhaps if they take damage differently we just need them to hit a single zombie and then observe the hood & engine durability afterwards or a stretch of single zombies and see how long it takes to completely die. This would of course be more complicated to set up so using save backups after getting the set up just right is recommended.

You should try this again and compare with Slow Driver/Speed demon
