How to unlock the The Dead Man achievement in State of Decay - Definitive Guide

You can't begin to work on this achievement until you have moved up a level by repairing the RV at least once.

Bloaters are also referred to as Rotters. When shot anywhere but the head, they explode into gas, contaminating the spot it died. Avoid this gas, as it will drain your health, stamina, and potentially cause you to contract Black Fever, which is difficult to contain and cure.
They seem to be more common in urbanized areas, such as the town of Marshall to the south. Climb up a survey area to try and spot these guys, or wait for a zombie hunt mission involving them to pop up.
Do not run Bloaters over, as the toxic gas will engulf your vehicle and deal constant damage to you. Do not approach them, as their only attack is to burst and hit you with gas. Shoot them with a weapon (preferably silenced) from a good distance.

Be sure to pick up Andy Pimm, the hero you unlock. He specializes in Sports Trivia and Beer Pong, but more importantly, carries 9 chemical incendiaries.

Drowned, aka Bloaters, aka stinking zombies. One shot to the torso is enough to finish him off. There shouldn’t be any problems with finding them (I even somehow came across 3 pieces per 10 m/sq.m.). Just climb all the towers and check the surroundings.
