Catfish distribution Show / Hide

Effective chance calculations are based off of default loot settings, and median zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits.

Fishing

Main article: Fishing

Catfish can be caught using a fishing rod. When caught, they can be small (15cm-25cm), medium (25cm-35cm), or large (35cm-55cm). Catfish are fairly easy to catch. In fact, small ones can be caught at low fishing skills with a fishing spear, making it an easily acquired early game food source if the player is near a large body of water.

Vehicles

Catfish can be found in the bed of a fisherman's truck.

Trivia

• The Rotten Uncooked and Cooked models have no texture. When placed in-game, they are shown as a checkered red-white model instead.
