Zombies Vs ATV's

[-Se7eN- 874]

Ok so im driving at 80 with a friend on an ATV, im doing well and am end game gear, i drive so much as close to a city, a zombie walks near my ATV as i was driving, Rips me off it without any animation, kills me instantly.

Just got one shotted by a zombie when on 12k blood.

Good game DayZ Good Game.

Chill your beans son, was just letting some people know my experience with the new patch so people dont make the same mistake as me.

Pull your pants up, turn off caps, and sit down.

I actually had the same experience earlier today. I was just driving past zombies doing 50 on an ATV. And that was my luck - because I was just doing 50, I didn't die being ejected by a zombie.

It is actually ridiculous driving past a Zombie and he can make you eject from an ATV while standing about 10 meters off.

Also - what's the point of start bleeding driving past zombies in a Ural / Bus?

tru dat ^^ it's just frustrating that the games basic physics can be so wrong so often, If anyone wants to try the following experiment and film it i'd love to see the results.

Drive at 60 - 70 mph on an ATV past a friend and lets see how many times he can pull you off without suffering life threatening injuries or indeed death himself.

Physics is something that rarely gets mentioned but it seriously needs looking at, few things more immersion breaking than hitting a cow in a gaz at 10 mph and watching it ping away through the air about 600 metres.

immersion breaking

There you go!

Thanks for the tips.Didn't know this. I'll steer clear of Zeds. If things are this bad, they should have left it at 1.7.4.4

Your mistake was driving an ATV. Those things are deathtraps.

And about hitting cows and having them fly into oblivion. This mod is built on a mil-sim. The physics engine wasn't designed with people who rundown livestock in mind. Nothing can really be done about it in the mod. I'm pretty sure the SA will feature at least limited ragdoll physics.

I was driving on a moto , hit a zombie , engine turns red, hit another zombie, moto exploded. story of my life.

ATV and moto are just bad vehicles, the only good thing about ATV you can store lots of stuff in it and it's easy to hide.

They wouldn't be, if they would have added a working system with being hit and pulled off by Z's.

Again: what's the matter about start bleeding, if you run them over with a Ural?

When you hit a zombie at speed in a vehicle they explode.Their teeth are like shrapnel lol

That happened to me and a friend close to Elektro. We got to the hospital, but we broke bones three times. I'm glad the ATV didn't flip. Those need a patch.

unluck and by the posts ive been reading maybe not unlucky maybe justrocket is working on sa for now and thats that

[Pandema 352]

Oh god the ATV. Why, why would you drive it? That thing is a death trap, waits till you're nice and geared up then flips and kills you because it wants you to suffer.

Did you know it runs on the tears of it's victims?

I've never had good experiences with ATVs. Last time I found a pair I managed to stack both of them at the same Bridge despite going as slow as I could the second time.

What's the difference between a bear trap and an ATV?

ATV kills you easier
