Post-apocalyptic survival game lets you face clever and brutal enemies alone. That's thanks to dedicated Project Zomboid: Build 42 player
Bandit Creator is a new mod for Project Zomboid: Build 42, which, as the name suggests, allows us to customize the appearance and skills of our opponents.

If the difficulty level of Project Zomboid: Build 42 is no longer a major challenge for you, I recommend using the fan mod titled Bandit Creator. The creation by Slayer, a player to whom we owe, among other things, the Week One project, is an extension of the Bandits mod, which allows to fully customize opponents in the game.
From the description of the modification available in the Steam workshop, it appears that Bandit Creator not only allows you to personalize the appearance (outfit, skin color etc.), but also the statistics and strengths of enemies. Besides, the mod's creator gives us free rein in influencing the AI of the bandits. Thanks to this, we can adjust, for example, their effectiveness in tracking us.
Just like when creating our own character, we can assign three unique abilities to each opponent. Furthermore, Bandit Creator offers several character archetypes. Here are some of them:
- Breaker - quickly destroys barricades / doors, carries extra tools;
- Electrician - sabotages generators and electrical devices, carries tools;
- Cook - steals or sabotages crops, carries food;
- Infected - can bite the player like a zombie, with the same consequences;
- Mechanic - sabotages cars and steals fuel, carries tools and gas canisters;
- Recon - moves faster than others.
Slayer also revealed other archetypes that will be introduced at a later time. One of them is, for instance, an assassin who approaches quietly and unnoticed. Moreover, he can kill with one stab.
The developer underlines that the Bandit Creator mod is currently only compatible with Build 42. The mod version for Build 41 will be ready soon.
