The Mutated Zombie is a zombie added in Alpha 20. It acts similarly to the Infected Police Officer, but it lobs balls of acid up and around itself. The acid does a base of 50 damage to blocks compared to the Infected Police Officer's 240 block damage spit attack.
Specialty Attack
The acid attacks will not occur unless the player is within a close distance to the Mutated Zombie.
If the player is directly hit by the acid balls it will inflict 15 damage.
Direct hits from this have a high chance of giving the player the InfectionStatus Effect.
The Mutated Zombie's acid gives the Deadly Radiation status effect on a direct hit or by stepping into the acid.
