Zombies invade GTA 4 multiplayer |

Can we go anywhere without zombies sluggishly lugging along? Of all places for the living impaired to pop up unexpectedly, I never would have thought Liberty City would be on their list. At least there are plenty of guns to take care of them. The zombies in question are actually players in the many multiplayer game types that GTA 4 has to offer. Topics have been popping up on forums about half naked zombies walking the streets. They are however sporting some yellow Rockstar branded underwear. Beat that Calvin Kline.
It’s not too clear what you have to do, or have done to you in order to become a Rockstar zombie. Some say it’s only for players who are insanely high in rank. Like level 10 in stars. I’m sitting pretty at only two stars right now so I would imagine you’d have to play for a very very long time to reach the highest rank.
This game sure is filled to the brim with secrets and easter eggs. Now I know theres got to be more things to uncover as we investigate every nook and borough of Liberty City. In regards to zombies, have we been had? Has anyone out there been a witness to this whilst playing online? If so, let us know how you disposed of the creature. Or how it disposed of you.

i have only been levels 1-3 for a few weeks (rank kept resetting) but now it seems the servers are improving, i’m at level 4 now
anyway, i was in a game with my friend who recently became a zombie. the next day i noticed i could change to one too. so the best theory i’ve read, since it works for me, is that you kill a zombie and have the choice to become one

The Naked Zombie just gave me a ride. It was like being on a real scary date with a guy in a speedo who drives waay too fast and has no pupils. I tried to get a better look at him after the ride, but he up and disappeared!

uhmm yeah i became a zombie today and you have to kill a zombie to become a zombie so you dont need a certain rank or anything just a good gun alot of health and not alot of health for the zombie because i think they have increased health or somet a read but i dont see no difference
in my person and i also killed a developer today yay me sorry developer dont ask me who it was cause i have no ideai was to busy working out what i did so yeah cyas oh and zombies are only other players dressed as zombies so you aint on some weird date
like some people think
thats freaky, he must have been on some pretty messed up dates

Yeah, I got it after I logged into a multi-player game and earned Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie (whacked a dev, I believe). The speedos are kind of crap, but the character moans like a zombie, so it’s a trade-off.

I have only just recently bought GTA 4. And after an hour or so in a few free roam games, i came across a zombie twice. But both times they didnt “act” as if they were being controlled by another player. one was just runing around and as i approached made no attempt to shoot at me even. (they make funny noises when you shoot them.lol) And another just stood with a rocket launcher but still i was able to walk up and stab it to death. Is it possible that they are crandomly generated and just controlled by rockstar automaticly? that was my first thought anyway. probably wrong.lol.

The zombie is just an option when you customize your online character. Hit L1 (ps3) and you’re a zombie. (You may have to reach Level 2 first. That’s where I first noticed it.)

When you kill a zombie (some guy/girl his character in online mode) you can be one yourself

to BECOME A ZOMBIE all you have to do is KILL a ROCKSTAR DEVELOPER. I became a Zombie after getting the Xbox achievement ‘Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie’ which is kill a Rockstar developer

Well, I was still lvl 0 when I got zombie, so I guess I’m a Zombie is right.

The zombie “kill a rockstar” achievement is viral. Once a player ganks someone who has it, they get it. Then someone can off them and get it too. You aren’t really killing a rockstar developer, it’s kind of like 6 degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon or something.

omg!, no offence but all you people are retards…you get the zombie look after you killed a rockstar developer and get the rockstar acheivment you goons

never you mind:
You are the one who is a goon. My post is correct. I have the achievement. When I go into a multiplayer game now, anyone who manages to kill me gets the achievement. So many people have tried to friend me thinking I am a Developer it is insane. It is actually kind of amusing, listening to everyone getting all psyched thinking someone from Rockstar is in the game, after I get killed once. Sometimes it gets annoying, though. People will go overboard going after you, ignoring the goals.

celtic is correct - ive had the exactly the same happen to me, at FIRST it was probably set up so you had to actually kill a rockstar dev. to get zombie, then it was opened up a bit i.e by killing someone who has zombie already in multiplayer (as explained above)
personally Im loving the new trunks.
