Zombies can still attack in hardcrit, can't be killed via regular means, and can still attack you with no arms.

Local commit: b03310f8db78b3e6be85dbde56503cfc8531170a TGS version: 6.1.5 DMAPI version: 5.8.0

Current Informational Settings: Protect Authority Roles From Traitor: 1 Protect Assistant Role From Traitor: 0 Enforce Human Authority: 0 Allow Latejoin Antagonists: 1

Reproduction:

1. Get a romerol zombie, remove it's limbs and put it in hardcrit, also get a basic human, put them close.
2. As the zombie, hit the human when you're in hardcrit and don't have arms with your zombie claws.
3. ???
4. For better effect put a helmet and armour on your zombie, before you're a zombie, for maximum pwnage.

Issue:

• Zombies can't be fully incapacitated in any way - no matter how many times you shoot/hit them, they can still attack things in hardcrit. Apparently this is a result of the crit changes (...?).
• Zombies' arms can be removed, however they won't drop their 'zombie claw' item (forced weapon present in both arms) and can still attack with it.
• Outside of a few special cases, there's almost no way to fight a zombie traditionally. You're taking a risk by melee-decapitating them, because they can still hit you, even when in hardcrit and with no arms. The only mainstream ways are: having a medical cyborg hit their head with a circular saw, using a high-power firearm to decapitate them, or having a cyborg shuttlegib/cremate them. This is absolutely funked - even Nukies, Blob, Space Dragon and Cult can be fought and killed using traditional means.
