Thankfully, they aren't required for OneHundredPercentCompletion and this seems to have been fixed in the 2023 rerelease.

** The game gives the player more dead-eye than the main game, since you need to be way more accurate with your shots.
** The presence of a mythical animal (sans the unicorn) is announced to you in the text box, and their approximate location is marked on the minimap. That said, if they leave said marked area the map won't update.
** When a town comes under attack, it takes a good while for it to become overwhelmed, giving you a lot of time to head there.
** Completing the Horses of the apocalypse challenge track gives you the blood pacts (which allow you to switch between them at will) for them all. And while the unicorn doesn't give you a deed/pact, it'll keep respawning on whistle until you switch to another horse.
** Some locations can never be lost to the undead, so you'll always have a place to rest at without having to fight.
** Like in the main game, challenges use ExactWords and thus can be made significantly easier if you think ahead; for example, one challenge requires you to kill 5 undead in 8 seconds using a sniper rifle - running up to them and executing/beating them with one works just fine.

An addition not found in Romero films is that fire and holy water kill them as well. The townsfolk often describe them as "drinking blood" and "howling at the moon," which is technically correct if you include their moaning. In another twist, anybody infected by the plague that hasn’t been fatally wounded by their attacker becomes a TechnicallyLivingZombie, displaying behaviour indistinguishable from their non-living brethren until the curse that made them is undone, whereupon they’ll gradually turn back to normal while the dead ones simply drop dead again.
