In the zombie apocalypse, keeping a keen eye on the durability of vital weapons is paramount to survival. Players can now have full knowledge of their equipment’s durability within the game’s UI, all thanks to Weapon Condition Indicator.

This mod gives players several options to show their weapon’s durability. Players can pick from having a vertical or horizontal progress bar, a small depleting star, or a color-coded bubble. Weapon Condition Indicator also includes the option to include an ammo count for guns as well, which can be a massive quality of life addition for some players.

More is always better, especially when it comes to weapons. Gamers who are enthusiastic about guns need to get this mod, as it adds a massive number of firearms, and all sorts of other weapons as well. This mod stands on top due to its attention to detail which matches the base game.

Attachments for guns are flexible, and allow players to get more out of their weapons, such as installing suppressors on the go, as long as they have a screwdriver handy. If players wish to keep in line with Project Zomboid’s theme, this mod allows players to disable all weapons produced post-1992. This option will keep all guns matching in the game, as it takes place in 1993.

These mods will only work together, as one pack contains the models, while the other includes the coding.

3 Better Sorting

Players will wind up collecting a ton of items, because looting is a crucial aspect of Project Zomboid. Sorting through those items can be a headache and take time away from other, more important tasks, such as staying alive. Better Sorting helps players out by adding better item categories, and even applies to most modded items as well.

Players can keep using their favorite mods and not worry about dealing with increased clutter due to the additional modded items. Better Sorting has support for over 200 workshop mods, meaning it can keep up with even the most cluttered inventories.

4 True Actions

Dealing with deadly zombies takes its toll, and players need a way to unwind. With True Actions, players can kick back and relax with fellow survivors during those quiet moments. The mod allows players to sit on chairs larger than 160 tiles and engage in activities. Players can read, eat, and drink, all while sitting.

True Actions also adds the ability to lie on beds, sofas, and most furniture over 200 tiles. With how immersive Project Zomboid is, adding more sitting and laying animation options should be part of the vanilla game.

5 Brita’s Armor Pack

Current Subscribers: 2,712,267

While some many think survival is the most vital task in a zombie apocalypse, it’s actually more important to look cool. Players have a lot more cosmetic options to pick from when using this mod, and are given a great selection of clothes to express themselves. The new wardrobe selection gives the option to dress cute, or look terrifying.

Brita’s Armor Pack adds full sets of armor, such as a hazard suit or a ghillie suit. The mod adds tons of single piece items to give players the ability to mix and match and create their ideal outfit, with overcoats, trenchcoats, winter jackets, and a simple knit sweater dress among the available options. There are also lots of clothes taken from other games, such as Wattson’s jacket, a character from Apex Legends.

6 Autotsar Trailers

Current Subscribers: 2,464,067

Living a nomadic lifestyle in the apocalypse is impossible without the help of Autotsar Trailers. This mod adds a handful of trailers that vary from a camper trailer to a generator trailer. These trailers can be attached to a car, but will slow them down significantly.

The camper trailer is the best feature of this mod, as it comes equipped with a fridge, mattress, TV, radio, and a weapon rack. With it, players can avoid finding a base location altogether and simply live on the road. Autotsar Trailers is a must-have for players wanting a cozy camping experience without sacrificing their equipment.

Sticking to civilian vehicles in an apocalypse is begging for disaster. Adding real world military vehicles based off 1992 models fits into Project Zomboid’s timeline and gives players a late game option for vehicles. While it won’t be easy to get these vehicles working, they offer lots of features to justify the effort.

These vehicles include crucial features such as a detachable spare tire, texture variants, flat tires, and animated doors, windows, and trunk lids. The modder is planning to add improved animations for entering and exiting vehicles and improving shaders as well, so there’s more to come for this excellent mod.
