So I discovered a little something, and it doesn't seem like anyone else is really talking about it...

SpoilerIssues / Problems

On the mission Legless Spider, me and a friend were looking for meteorites. He ended up going afk and just crouched in the boat. While I'm looking around, tons and tons of zombie drops start piling up near a few spots. It made my game lag at one point, and one of them was so big that it ended up refilling itself while I was collecting everything.

The rock next to the boat, the rocks near the car wreck, and the rocks near the little hole with water in it were the specific areas.

My only guess as to how it happens is that because the game spawns zombies constantly in this area, it had a glitch and just started dropping in loot until it hit some sort of limit instead of the actual zombies. I also noticed other collectibles like herbs and fluorescent shoots would also respawn quickly.

Any thoughts? It may be difficult for me to provide details since I've since moved past the mission, but I'll do my best to answer.

Do tell me if this is old and I just didn't look for it enough.

I have never had that happen in all my 78 play throughs, so it was a random glitch/bug. Most times these weird glitches happen while players are in coop, so must be some sort of connection.

It’s similar to the glitch in the Following during the mission with Tolga and Fatin where Tolga does yoga in the Rocket Train lol

Mine does that every play through. I thought it was odd as well. My guess as a developer myself was that they wanted to give the player a fighting chance while looking for meteorites, but didn't want to mess with global spawn rates, so they put some kill zones in place instead.
