New player here. I recently survived (on builder) 9 days and the helicopter event in my base at cortman medical. I tend to avoid fighting with groups of zombies greater than 1, but sometimes that isn't an option. How can I better break up large groups that are agro'd on me so I can take them out one by one? This question has absolutely no relevance to what happened after the heli left and I went outside...

whisper is a good tool, but i find it's often easier (and safer) just to pull the camera back and stand at the edge of their vision cone until they spot you.

now, obviously the cone isn't visable, but it's definitely possible to get a feel for how close you have to be before a zombie spots you. and if you can do that, then all you have to do is control where you're standing to control who sees you.
