Zombie damage increase

[kumando 199]

I have been playing Dayz+ and i must say that the zombie damage makes me fear the zombies again, no more running trought towns like it was nothing, i would really like that zombie damage would be increased in future patches.

[thelonewarrior 886]

I second that, dayz+ is a very good experience and I actually find myself avoiding buildings with 1 exit in dayz+, if there was zombie damage increase in the main dayz update it would eventually spread to every map.

This would make me very happy :)

still a bit too random for me some zombie hits one hit knocked out and it s over some hits absolutely nothing even though sounds the same just doesnt do the same.

Doesn't make to much differnceto those that can consistantly head shot but it is a move for the better fo sho. I do however love the construction additions!!

It should be increased..... once all the bugs are fixed like getting hit through walls ect ect ect ect ect ect ect ect

[Sutinen 635]

Yes. I'm tired of seeing people run trough zombie hordes to pick some shit up and then run back into their vehicles. Some goes for fresh spawns, they run recklessly trough a zombie horde without getting killed.

Personally, I think the average damage they give is just right - especially when you couple this with their speed and the fact they constantly strafe. This makes it a pain in the ass to down them when you've got a train going.

Maybe they will need re-evaluating at the time of SA release, but until then...

[Siberian (DayZ) 527]

until they fix the Zombie glitching i say NO..

between them phasing throu walls and being able to hit u from 20 feet away as u run past, hells NO..

dayZ+ is a great concept but the zombie damage makes it basicly un-fun for me.. being taken to fuzzy vision in 2-3 hits and playing as a solo, makes for endless respawn cycles.

No, getting knocked out by zombies is frustrating enough on normal DayZ servers

After I realized Zombies barely hurt you. Just enough to make you start bleeding I bandage and run through towns without a care in the world. So yes I say on DayZ main they should make zombies stronger. As of right now they are an annoyance not a threat, it would be nice to see this turned around, either make the first hit a knock out or make it take a lot more blood away.

One hit ko would be a bit OPed but they definitly need to pack more damage per hit.

[com1 10]

yes (but only if they cant hit you 2m away from you aka lagg hits)

[BearGravy 53]

Well when you think about it not necessarily, because in order to get ko'ed they have to be near you. So that forces you to steer clear from them. And I'm not talking about every hit KO I'm saying like how you can bleed at first hit. You get KO'ed at first hit. Like it is as constant as bleeding out.

I'd be up for it, would like zombies to do 2-3x as much damage.

They should be savage.

First off zombies take on similiar characteristics as the person they once were. If the person is obese then he will run at the same speed as the obese man would. If the person was an Olympic weightlifter then of course the zombie will also have his strengths and weaknesses. Not all zombies are infected equal.

Zombies don't gain any special strengths and powers once infected. They are nothing more and will never be anything more then the person they once were.

Keep in mind. Most zombies that are encountered in dayz 2017 should be dead... Human kind is nearly wiped out. The food source for the zombies is minimal and the people who have survived more then a year after are most likely not going to be food for the slowly starving/dying/dead zombies.

The zombies in dayz aren't dead. They are infected. Our bodies require nourishment inorder for them to function. Once 99.999% of the worlds population is gone the zombies will die off as they have no food source and since we know the zombies only have a taste for human flesh it's obvious the humans will have plenty of animals to live off of.

[BSB Jimmy 360]

yes as long as they dont overdo it

[thodouras95 21]

Maybe, dunno.Zombies genereally need a threat factor boost, they're supposed to be the reason Chernarus ended up this way.Perhaps bites that cause infection that slowly turns the player into a zombie?

[=RK=Achilles 31]

I vote no for now. Since the soldier AI makes them hard to hit at times. But in the SA since they will run more directly at you, I wouldn't mind if they hit a bit harder. I just don't wanna have a zombie take me out through the wall.
