Imagine a Nightwalker, but during the day. This mod brings The Following's daytime mutations to the Base Game! Zombies will occasionally mutate, allowing them to sprint and climb.

In the DLC 'The Following', Biters have a chance to mutate, causing them to become Daywalkers - Nightwalkers during the day!
This mod brings that behaviour to the Base Game so that it can happen anywhere (not JUST the countryside), making Biters ever more unpredictable and deadly.
As you explore, Biters will occasionally mutate into Daywalkers. During mutation, you can kill them in one hit, hide, or run for your life. Biters are momentarily blind during mutation, giving you an opportunity to hide; enhancing stealth gameplay during daytime - something usually reserved for night gameplay.
Thanks to DocOnHoliday who features this behaviour in his amazing 'I Am Legion' overhaul, I spent several days figuring out how to create a standalone version of this AI so that it can be applied to other overhauls if you wish. Without him, this mod wouldn't exist.
(A Compatibility Patch for the incredible Night Runner Mode is available as an optional download.)
NOTE: Everyone will have a preference as to how often Biters mutate. If you want it increased/decreased, let me know and I'll see what I can do. There may be bugs. I'll fix them ASAP after being told.
