So serious question time.

[applejaxc 2500]

So I was playing for about 30 minutes on my server (Applejaxc 71.53.228.93 port 2032) trying to get gear. After logging out and back in, my L337 Enfield had been deleted, along with its ammo. (sad face)

So I go into one of the two-story "Restaurant" buildings in Chernogorsk (are they restaurants?) because I know L337s and Winchesters often spawn up there. Some pissant zombies had follow me in, and got stuck in the dugout under the staircase.

The only loot I found was food (yay!) and empty cans (boo!). I started going back to the stairs when suddenly every surface of the building became cracked, in the 1st stage of "Damage." I'd never seen a building so damaged in DayZ unless a Helicopter hit it or a car rammed it and exploded. Confused and scared, I bolted down the stairs (almost snapping my legs) and outside.

It turns out that when 10 zombies are trapped in one spot and keep attacking the stairs instead of you, it does damage to the building. A horde of zombies literally collapsed a building on themselves.

Is that... normal?

I also found a M16 M203 in one of the medical tents. :)

I've no idea if it's normal but one of my first ever deaths in DayZ was when I accidentally threw a flare in a house and the whole thing collapsed on me :/

I remember one of those dayz myth-busters episodes where they broke the church with the smoke grenades,

So I guess if it can be thrown it can destroy buildings?

Actually, now I think about it, it was a smoke grenade I let off, not a flare.

In that same building, I threw a smoke grenade into the window upstairs. It fell "Through" the window, into the wall. Smoke came out of the wall that had swallowed the grenade. :)

You should have been there. 71.53.228.93 port 2302 :)

Now this makes me want to herd a bunch of people into the Elektro church then have friends tossing smokes grenades at it.

Also: When a building is already damaged, you can knock it down with a hatchet.

I was quite amused seeing that.

Or just pitch some tents in it
