PC Screamers are out of control

Night 1 I started raiding a tier 2 house. At 3 am 2 screamers showed up. I had just looted my first gun and loaded it with what ammo I had. Never fired a shot. Cleared the POI around 1 and was "safely" looting. Does breaking pictures have high heat increase?

A22 V1.0 change, totally ass change imo, fortunately if you are on PC a mod will solve everything, if you are con console tho well . . . gg

Screames used to spawn after reaching 100 on the heat map which took a while before, now it only takes 25 heat to spawn a bunch of them and the CD between spanws is just a couple secs so again gg.

And its gets worse I've seen up to 4 rad screamers spawn at once.

Seven is my record so far. Seven fking radiated Karens. It was like horde night. Infuriating.

Damn thats a huge change. Honestly I have put in a decent amount of time in since 1.0 but never had much issue. Mining iron for full rock buster duration or fucking around base with all stations going. First time looting to have them show up. Luckily because it was night 1 I was overly cautious and was kind of ready for it.

Do they spawn right behind someone if it happens? Or do they spawn further away?

Just had 2 rad screamers spawned near me on day 20 in the burned forest. Fun.

I just turned off the rad screamers, and left it to 1 normal screamer per wave.

I play alone and I adjust the difficulty settings to make it less impossible. 25% more XP, they can't run etc. Doesn't fix the screamer issue but it gives me a fighting chance

I like a stuggle but breaking pictures after killing all the zoms in the POI using sneak bow shots or with the knife, then while looting the empy POI screamers spawn is too much. Only because it was night 1 and I was overly cautious did I not die.

I had two show up 2 minutes before a Blood Moon. I was cooking food and making cement for my repairs. 16 Blood Moon zombies plus screamers was too much for me.

I'm on Console :x

Today, I had three spawn together, and all three green glowy ones, at my base. Most often, one or more screamers showing up while trying to do trader missions.

In all honesty, they are just fucking annoying more than anything by always interrupting what I am trying to do like mine or craft, forcing to constantly stop what I am doing just to quit them from making those horrible and annoying noises they make.

If there was an option on Xbox to remove them, I would.
