    Z-sec zombies are former security officers (Z-sec = zombie security) who will use battle tactics to gang up on you and hunt you down. The zombies with shields are just like the pistol-using zombies except that they also carry a large bulletproof shield. In order to damage them, you'll need to carefully shoot at an exposed part of their bodies or sneak around behind them (or use a splash-damage weapon like a grenade or rocket).

    All Z-sec zombies wear headsets that you can hear the radio chatter from if you enter a room cautiously. This is very useful, as the zombies will often start out behind some form of cover. If you know where they are before they detect you, you can use grenades to flush them out and ruin their teamwork tactics. Also, take cover yourself and duck out to shoot them while they're reloading.

    NOTE: Shield-carrying zombies take only 25% extra damage from head shots.
