Yup. To make matters worse, as it was stated before, all the special zombies are spawned right at the beginning, too, including Hulks. In my siege on the northern hemisphere of my starting town, I’ve encountered three hulks in the same spot, and it’s by the grace of God (and my fuckin’ gat) that I’ve been able to fend them all off, but I’m level 40-something when you combine all my stats, possibly 50. My character is stacked pretty heavily at this point, but I only got that far because I was able to lure the EARLY hulks to their doom at a lava pit that spawned south of the town. When I entered the northern part of town, that no longer became an option, since Hulks always run faster than you unless you have running perks/mutations. And the fact that they spawn at the start of the game makes raiding even a small backwater town like mine almost impossible at level 0.
