Adjust props & other Assets

During playtesting on 02/23/2024 -- many players spoke about getting stuck on assets and props within the level chunks.
Many of the items causing the issues were the spiked barriers, while other areas had unknown collision issues near ramps and some building assets that need to be looked into.
I intend to adjust spiked barrier positions or find a way to make spiked barriers more visible to the player.

Sound fx for "survive the horde" horde growl

fx for killing zombies during encounter and sound goes down
