1.7.4sucks

I'd managed a week prior to 7.4 but that patch stole all my AK and DMR ammo whilst making it impossible to lose Z's, so, after a marathon (with an ever growing number of competitors) from the NW airfield to the coast, I was consumed! Had a couple of respawns with 7.4 and quickly realised that crawling was the only way to avoid aggro, even managed to secure a shotty, but never found enough basic stuff to stay watered and avoid starvation.

While we're at it, why not just import General Knox and have him patrol the NW airfield, have aliens in the woods and a predator or two in the cities?

Make the hatchet selectable (and deselectable) as a weapon from the tool belt, that way you'd have no worries about dropping random stuff from the backpack when you reach for your primary weapon. I know it would make things easier, but if I were a survivor I wouldn't dump an AK and its ammo on the ground to make room for a hatchet! Survivors should be able to drink from lakes without a bottle (imo)

6hrs has just flown by, congrats on the new version! Can I suggest that we should be able to drink from lakes without having a bottle, it seems logical and it would help with survival every once in a while. Hatchet is the weapon of choice for Z's, silent and effective. I haven't quite worked out where to put another primary, I guess I need a better pack. Z's seem to be back to somewhere around 7.1, but I'm still erring on the side of caution when in town. Thx for all the hard work!

Hey, There must be a happy medium here... one minute I'm a carefree survivor armed to the teeth, roaming around avoiding the brain dead undead. The next, I'm a starving, terrified, unarmed noise machine, heading a zombie train!! If I have no guns, no food and no meds to start with, you'd better make sure I can find them without spending the entire night crawling from hut to hut (most likely because a Z broke my leg when I stood up by accident) town to town (because the first hospital had no morphine). More fun please Rocket!
