Mod «PETA - Pipebomb-Enabled Throwable Animals» for Project Zomboid

PETA — Pipebomb-Enabled Throwable Animals for Project Zomboid.

Turn Knox County's wildlife into a walking arsenal. Strap pipe bombs to cows. Rig proximity mines on chickens. Send a deer charging into a zombie horde. PETA adds a complete animal-bomb system to Project Zomboid B42. Attach explosives to any animal, choose how they detonate, and use them as tactical weapons against the undead.

What You Can Do

• Attach Explosives — Right-click any animal → «Add Bomb» → pick your explosive.
• Remote Detonation — Right-click any armed animal and blow it up on command.
• Leeroy Jenkins Mode — Send the animal charging into zombies. Contact = detonation.
• Sensor Proximity Traps — Aerosol and smoke bombs detect nearby zombies and trigger automatically.
• Player Commentary — 35 unique lines across 3 categories.
