Zombie corpse loot

Defeated zombies now provide a searchable Zombie corpse. A zombie has at most one generated item and can have none. Its loot is selected at spawn; searching again does not reroll it. The corpse is available for up to 120 seconds, subject to a server cap of 40 zombie corpses that can remove older bodies earlier. Depositing into zombie corpses is disabled. Infection-reanimated zombies are created without loot.

Police zombies use the Police loot group, military and soldier zombies use Military / Soldier, and other zombies use Civilian. Pumpkin appearance does not add a separate pumpkin item to this loot table.
