With all luring devices it doesnt just have to be for combat, it can be used for flight or maybe even other purposes.


HeavenlySword: Lures can be used to clear areas, dig a large and very deep trench around the lure, and pour napalm into the trench. Leave and light up the napalm. The most effective lure is your captured bandit. Once a band of bandits attack your fortress, make sure you don't kill them all, make sure a few are only 'incapacitated' e.g.; shoot them in the lung, which is incredibly painful, or shoot them in the lower leg and or arms, the shock of being shot will usually incapacitate them.

This is assuming, of course, that your fortress is well designed enough that you can afford to use non-lethal force without compromising your safety.

Next, you head towards an area heavily infested, with some of the captured bandits. I reccomend somewhere near a large supermarket or Wal-mart or other similar stores, there are bound to be hordes of Z's nearby due to the panicking unprepareds who flocked to attempt to loot Wal-mart for supplies. Dig a nice, 8 foot or so deep trench circular trench around an 'island', 4 foot deep if you can. Use napalm at an 1:1 mixture of gasoline and styrofoam (common white packing styrofoam is stickiest in my experience) until you have filled the trench to 2+ inches. More is better, but unless you found a gasoline tanker truck, try not to waste.

Next, place the captured bandit on the center of the island. If he is not screaming already, pour a few ounces of napalm toward his genitial area. Light up. Don't pour too much, or the bandit will die before the napalm burns out, which would stop the undead from being attracted towards him and the trench.

Light up the bandit.

Set a tripwire with slow match on the edge of the trench. When a z comes, the tripwire will light up the napalm, eventually burning the Z's down to cinders.

Come back the next day, and the Z-population in the area has been decreased by a few hundred.

If your reputation has grown to such a factor that bandits no longer attack, you must resort to using things like boom boxes, which are far less efficient at attracting Z's than a screaming, flaming bandit.





Ingredents
1.Human Blood
2.waste matter (feces, urine etc)
3.sweat
4.spit
5.hair
6.skin


combine all (or some) ingrediants in a beaker than seal with any thing available, and the next time you see a zombie give it a good shake, toss it and watch the poor zed stumble toward it, giving you time to either run or shoot him in the face.

Another good lure for zombies.(if they really are attracted to sound) would be to take a junk car
(one that cant be moved or used for transport) and hold the car horn down with a stick.

1. pull the seat back as far as you can.
2. cut a small hole in the seat. insert a heavy stick.
3.line the stick up to the middle of the horn
4.duct tape the stick on to the horn.
5.push the seat forward until the horn starts.
6. put cinder blocks or bricks behind the seat to prevent it from sliding back.
7. make your escape.


For another, more inhumane Lure:
Anything alive is likely to be something to attract the undead, so, domesticated animals or even trapped animals would be an excellent way to bring them in.
1. An extremely durable cage is placed with bait for live animal. / Domesticated animal is placed in cage.
2. Leave cage behind.

If at some point later one desired to return, it could easily be done.

if you are traveling on foot, this would be useless, but if you have a vehicle, and a pet, USE THIS! first, keep the cage with you at all times. make sure this cage cannot be broken, or reached through, you want your pet to live (on a side note, the zeds may be smart enough to know how to lift and smash the cage, so if you can, bolt it down). the animal will attract zeds, and while they all crowd around, trying to eat, you are a few hundred yards away with a sniper rifle (another side note, zombies ARE attracted to sound, so make sure you are completely safe, or have someone watch your back while you are sniping). finaly, it would be even better if you could use the nasty potion at the top along with the animal, because it may be gross, but alot of insects and parasites are attracted to us by the scent of those things, so i would say zeds would too
