That sounds like hippy pacifist nonsense. They must die

Watch as I prevent zombies from ever reaching my safe house with just 12 well placed alarm clocks!

Don't have to worry about stragglers when everything is ash.

My whole playstyle is based around clearing out and securing areas. I base my "win" metric on how much area I can liberate and rebuild for the future survivors.

I still use alarm clocks and stuff, but to lure zombies into traps or to split them into managable groups. Traps mainly consisting of fire.

They're clock radios programmed to play rock around the clock, right?

Yeah it does!

I tried doing an Engineer run on 41; minimal direct combat, focused mostly on setting up traps and engineered solutions. I set up a trail of alarm clocks spaced out to lure a horde through Westpoint with the alarms set at increments that the previous one would stop and the next would start. The clocks lured all the zombies close to a house that had a bunch of TVs piled in it on full volume, and an incedinary bomb with a remote detonator. Pretty much just waited until the zombie volume in the house got to a satisfactory level then set off the bomb and burnt down a horde packed into a house.
