RULES AND QUESTS

COMBAT ACTIONS
Combat Actions use all types of combat-oriented Equipment
cards: Melee, Ranged or Magic.
Melee Action
When you’re strong enough,
decapitating becomes an option.
– Clovis
The Survivor uses a Melee weapon
he is holding in Hand to attack
Zombies in his Zone (see Combat,
page 32).
Ranged Action
Where did you learn to use a
crossbow?
- Back in the day, I used to
go hunting with my father.
- Isn’t poaching forbidden on
the lord’s hunting grounds?
- I think I just shot the
sheriff.
– Ann and Nelly
The Survivor uses a Ranged weapon he is holding in Hand to
fire at a single Zone within the Range shown on the weapon’s
card (see Combat, page 32). In Zombicide: Black Plague, people
shoot at Zones, not Actors. This is especially important for
Targeting Priority Order (see page 34).
Remember, using a Ranged weapon at Range 0 is still a
Ranged Action.
Magic Action
For years, we convinced people
that magic was reserved to an
elite few. Sure, some rituals
require some skill, but we created
fireballs to be cast by our dumbest
students in case of emergency.
These days, these spells are the
only ones that matter.
– Baldric
The Survivor uses a Combat spell (a spell with combat
characteristics) he is holding in Hand to attack Zombies.
This attack follows the same rules as Ranged
Actions.
