HottieZ is an item designed to relieve stress and boredom.

This magazine is 'consumed' once it's read, and therefore is removed from the player's inventory.

HottieZ can also be used as a fuel for particular heat sources, and lasts for 15 minutes if done so.

The loot distributions can be found in the table(s) below.

HottieZ distributionShow / Hide

Effective chance calculations are based off of default 'apocalypse' loot settings, with no luck modifier, and average 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. Duplicate entries do exist, but have been removed for clarity.

The magazine can be found in drawers and nightstands next to beds, sometimes accompanied by a spare tissue, which implies the fact the contents of the material is of erotic nature. They can also be found in certain book stores but with a lower chance of spawning than other literature.

Judging by the name and the art depicted on the item, we can assume that HottieZ is an erotic magazine (e.g., playboy).
Hottiez and Comic Book currently share the same model when placed on the ground.
