ZED dressing

[WalkerDown (DayZ) 296]

Giving the possibility to dismember a dead zed (like you do with animals) to use the flesh as temporary camouflage.

So you have a sort of cloaking device, when "worn" it will give to you temporary "invisibility": you won't be aggroed by zeds because they believes you're one of them.

Toughts:

- The temporaririness could be in example of 1 minute;

- Not any zeds should give you back the "meat", so you couldn't "collect" easily multiple "cloacking" devices; also you would be forced to kill multiple if you want really to obtain one.

- You may carry only one of this meat at time, so you cannot use like 10 of em in a row to being "invisible" for 10 minutes;

I think i've watched it in a resident evil episode, where they were used to "dress" with zombie interiors to confuse their senses (ie: olfaction).

The walking dead is the series you are thinking of. Might be a good idea but it just feels wrong to me. Would the player using the "cloak" be seen as a zombie for other players?

Indeed it doesn't.. we (not infected) aren't that "dumb" to not distinguish those players, they may looks just wearing a slight different "camo" eventually (ie: with blood etc.), plus the walking will be "normal" (not zed alike).

I think it's pretty realistic: there must be a scientific explanation of why the zeds doesn't aggro to each other but only against the not infectesd ppl. In nature you can distinguish the species mainly using the "look" (colors) or the "smell", in our case the smell is much more appropriate and natural (due do the supposed infected "brain damage"), probably because the zeds, since the infection, have their pheromones production stopped or such, ot the opposite (zeds are producing a new type of sebaceus odor that is not attractive for other zeds), in both cases, "wearing" zed parts would make sense to hide.
