CoA Build 138-140 summary:
- Zombies can zombify other humanoid units
- Allow ranged units to fire out of trenches/defilades and generally target enemies better
- Fixed zombies spamming damage and made AI fist melee much more polished and reliable
- AI punches do 1.5x headshot damage instead of 20x (multiplier was like a bullet previously)
- Melee AI damage others more reliably and fixed damaging others even when not attacking
- Non-VR player flying camera moves faster
- Fixed Orcs Having Human Charge Vocal
- Fixed non-vr player character slow motion not slowing sounds, slightly sped up slow motion
- Fixed footsteps overriding other sounds
Advanced injuries:
- When legs are dismembered, units will still be alive but struggle to stand back up, eventually bleeding out
- Shooting arms/hands off will disarm units and make them use their fists instead
- Units run around when on fire and cannot attack
- Explosions overhaul - explosions do tiered damage depending on distance: if close then likely death, if medium distance then likely to dismember legs but they are still alive, and if further then only knocks down units.
Dev notes: Major improvements to how injuries are handled in a first of a series of many upgrades to the injury system. Zombification has returned. Much more content and features to come.

- Stabs do much more appropriate damage (very little damage previously)
- Allow destructible debris to damage units it hits
- Fixed getting stuck on save screen for non-VR

Dev notes: This is the first of more melee balancing and improvements to come, as always feel free to give feedback as it evolves.
