Basically Human spies who play as medics, but instead of healing the players they heal the zombies. And I'm not 100% sure since am still new but when you target a zombie you target the weakest one, therefore our HP stays up *+ bonus with devour*. Forcing the humans to waste more AP in killing us then they would normally do. Could help with mass battles like Ciager right now.

I like the sound of this.
Healing is also much more efficient than attacking (especially with surgery), so 1 survivor with surgery could be a real AP drain on the defenders.
And the important thing is, it can be done stealthily.
I can take up this position in caiger if you like, but it'll mean I'll no longer have an active role in taking down the barricades.
EDIT: Then again, I may just go back into a scouting role for the next week or so. Healing zombies will only be effective if we have the numbers to hold the place, otherwise it's just delaying the inevitable.

Up sides: Waste of Survivor AP We live even though were dead!!! Pisses off the survivors who want to headshot us and then run out of AP. Stealthy If able to hold the mall/fort will have a steady healing supply for the damaged zombies. ***EDIT:In powered mall with search. High chance of getting FAK (1 every 2 searchs I'd say) 10Hp for a zombies (2 non war time AP, 1 war time AP, 10HP).***
Down sides: As Generatorkiller said: but it'll mean I'll no longer have an active role in taking down the barricades *Not sure so please correct* Surgury only usable in powered Hospital Only effective if able to hold the building

Ah, yeah.. you're right. It's first aid that is handy then, not surgery. Still, 100% chance of restoring 10 HP isn't bad.

Hmm, it's interesting. But is it really that often that a survivor can't completely kill a zombie? Maybe, but it's hard to tell. I think this could be a tertiary activity for any NTJ members active in the area who don't have much else to do. But if that's the case, then we're probably about to win.
And remember, if we go about healing zombies, they won't be infected if they get CRed - no parachuting!
It's probably be better for a zombie which is low on AP to ask a fellow zombie to kill them. No headshot means 1 AP to stand up (assuming Ankle Grab), then you've got full HP again. There used to be a thread somewhere. Basically, say Brnrh, as it apparently is a request for a fellow zombie to attack you (similar to Mrh? = revive me). For not much AP spent by a fellow zed (as long as you are low), they get to keep you around much longer!

If you do this frequently enough during a major siege, like Caiger could be, you are bound to meet an online headshotter sooner or later. I've never seen anyone so infuriated as the player with a pistol racing 15FAKs. They know someone is healing but they don't know who, and pride will never let them give up on trying to kill the zombie.
