Most ridiculous death plus aftermath

[tom.dullnig@gmx.net 16]

I got killed by the grim reaper today. Sounds strange ey? Here's the story:

After a few very succesful loot runs, the friend I was running with and I were pretty well geared - FN FAL + DMR (4 mags each) - Coyote Pack, all the fancy stuff including a GPS.

After running low on supplies we decided to hit Gvozdono to see if we could find some wood. Anyone who has been there may remember the red building that can only be accessed from one side due to a bug in the map - well, I decided to do the smart thing and tried to vault in. Needless to say I faced insta-death at the hand of the mighty glitch gods.

This is were things get odd. Having aggroed a few zombies from my fall into glitch hell, my friend went around and inside the building, throwing off the aggro and looking for loot. I had just spawned when all of a sudden the following conversation ensued.

-"The hell!"

"WHAT THE F?"

"DUUUUUUUUDE!"

-"What?"

-"The Grim Reaper is standing outside this place!!"

-"Are you kidding me?"

-"No, dude I swear to god, how do I get a screen of this without steam?"

-"Dude, stop freaking me out"

-"No, I swear to god. He's standing there looking at me"

At this point we were scared shitless, with my totally random death and all just a minute before.

Turns out the reaper he was looking at was one of the priest zombies with a weird angle and my friend had never seen one of those before.

That is probably the only time I have ever been scared shitless because of a game - thanks for the experience.

TL;DR - Beware of the Glitch Reaper, he is out to get you too.

lol, it'd be funny if zombies could wield weapons... imagine a priest wielding a schythe... scary.

I was thinking about that a long time, as long as it's limited to melee weapons. Imagine a Zed slowly inching up to you ina building with a crowbar or a hatchet scratching on the floor.

You go into a city to find some wood? WTH?

That's what hatchets had been invented for and trees are standing around.

Or are you talking about food? That's standing around, or walking around, on fields and sometimes deep in the woods too, called 'Animal'. ;)

Pfft, you tried to go get wood?

Take it like a man and punch that tree! punch it!!

Can you even use hatchets normally now, though? Whenever I get one it's a weapon.

Yes and here's why: the two primary weapons I was carrying don't allow for a hatchet (currently 10 slots) in the backpack without wasting all the space. Piles of wood can be found in any civilian loot area.

Yes you can by simply right clicking on them in inventory. They are nowhere near practical though as long as they take primary slots.

sure, i'm not carrying a hatchet right now. I'm working around just like you. Barns/sheds, take some wood and make a fireplace.
