The Colossus of the Apocalypse: Unveiling the Biggest Zombie in Last Day on Earth
The world of Last Day on Earth is a brutal landscape teeming with the undead, each more terrifying than the last. Among these hordes, one behemoth stands out, a true titan that strikes fear into the hearts of even the most seasoned survivors: the Big One.
The Big One: A Mountain of Undead Terror
The Big One isn’t just another zombie; it’s the most powerful and imposing undead entity you’ll encounter in the game. Typically found lurking in the red and orange zones, these areas are notoriously dangerous due to their high concentration of powerful enemies, and the Big One’s presence amplifies the threat. While they are primarily located in these high-risk areas, there’s a small chance that the Big One could wander into a green zone, catching unsuspecting survivors off guard.
Monstrous Strength and Resilience
What truly sets the Big One apart is its monstrous power and durability. This zombie is capable of inflicting significant damage with each attack, posing a serious threat even to players equipped with high-tier armor and weapons. Not only does it deal massive damage, but it also receives very little damage in return, making it an incredibly difficult enemy to take down. The Big One truly lives up to its name as it is a formidable force that often requires strategic planning and a well-coordinated attack to overcome. It serves as a sort of boss within the game that many players either avoid or attempt to defeat as a challenge.
Encountering the Big One
When facing the Big One, survivors need to approach the encounter with caution and preparation. Charging in blindly will almost certainly lead to a swift demise. Effective strategies often involve utilizing ranged weapons, carefully kiting the zombie to avoid its devastating melee attacks, and potentially exploiting the environment to gain an advantage. Due to its high HP pool, battles against The Big One can be lengthy and require a lot of consumables to survive the fight.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Zombies in Last Day on Earth
Here are 15 frequently asked questions about the various zombies and related aspects in Last Day on Earth, designed to give you more insight into the undead threats and how to navigate them.
1. What is the Toxic Abomination?
The Toxic Abomination is a zombie similar to the Floater Bloater, but with increased health (60 more hit points) and a larger Sense Radius. It can detect you when walking or sprinting within the second circle on the Minimap, and even when crouching within that same radius. However, its Sense Radius is deactivated while it is inside Bunker Alfa.
2. What is the Frozen Giant?
The Frozen Giant is a zombie introduced in Season 4, sharing the same appearance as the Frozen Bloater. When your health drops to 200 during an encounter with it, the Frozen Giant will scream, spawning three Numb Zombies. This occurs again at 100 health, with another three Numb Zombies appearing.
3. What is the Specimen Giant?
The Specimen Giant is a boss zombie that debuted in Season 2. It visually resembles Charlie Jr., Charlie Sr., and Kramp. Players should use the same strategy for defeating it as they would with Kramp in the Infected Junkyard location. This is often heavy use of range weapons.
4. Where can I find the Earth Giant?
The Earth Giants are actually elemental spirits found in the Enchanted Forest, not to be confused with zombies. They roam the forest at night and can be found sleeping near a raging river during the daytime. They are not related to the undead plague of Last Day on Earth.
5. Is the Big One the strongest zombie?
Yes, the Big One is considered the most powerful zombie in the game. It boasts high health and attack damage and is designed to be a difficult challenge for players. It has the highest HP pool and attack strength of any other zombie in the game.
6. Is the Zip Gun effective against the Big One?
The Zip Gun is a craftable firearm in the game that is effective against slower enemies like Frenzied Giants. While it can be useful against Floater Bloaters and Toxic Abominations, it is not recommended against the Big One as its low damage output will make the battle take longer and will require more resources.
7. Can I lose my chopper in Last Day on Earth?
No, you cannot lose your chopper. If you leave it at a location, it will return to your base border. If you have built the garage, it will return there. You can use this as a safe storage for your bike, so never worry about permanently losing it.
8. What are the best weapons to use against the Big One?
The best weapons for fighting the Big One are high-damage ranged weapons. Consider assault rifles, shotguns and perhaps even the minigun, as these are useful in long range kiting. Melee weapons are incredibly dangerous, as the Big One can easily one-shot lower-level armor sets.
9. What is the Shipwreck event?
The Wrecked Ship event allows players to obtain loot from three shipping containers. The area spawns with a horde of crowd zombies and fast biters, with fast biters respawning 20 seconds after a wave is cleared, after you attempt to open or loot crates. This can be a valuable location for resources.
10. What is the purpose of the chopper?
The chopper, or motorcycle, speeds up travel time between locations using gasoline. It’s also required to access the Rest Stop event, making it an essential part of the game. It must first be created at the base from a structure which will take quite a few resources.
11. How many bunkers exist on the map?
There are currently three visible bunkers on the map, two of which are accessible to some extent. Each bunker is identified by a name from the ICAO phonetic alphabet (i.e., Bunker Alpha, etc).
12. Is the Big One found only in the red zones?
While the Big One is most commonly found in red and orange zones, there’s a small chance that it can appear in green zones, making all locations potentially dangerous. This can be a surprise that catches the player off guard in seemingly safe areas.
13. Are there other unique zombies like the Big One?
Yes, Last Day on Earth features numerous unique zombies, each with its own attack patterns and strengths. Aside from the ones already mentioned, there are the Blind One, the Reek, and many more. Each provides a unique challenge, and forces players to adapt their strategy.
14. Is the Big One always present in red zones?
No, the Big One does not spawn in every red zone. Its spawn is somewhat random, although its presence in the red zones is fairly common. This means it is wise to always be prepared when entering high-risk areas.
15. Can the Big One be lured out of zones?
The Big One cannot be lured out of the zone it spawns in. The game is designed to prevent players from leading zombies into other areas. The big One must be defeated in order to complete the red and orange zones, or at least left behind so the player can progress.
