Survior zombies!

[CommanderX (DayZ) 52]

Ok don't hate I want survivor zombies! not when you die you become a zombie just a zombie with a survivor skin so say scenario

 

their was a man stockpiling for the zombie outbreak only to slowly come to the infection and became a zombie so say you are going through the map and see a survivor (Zombie) but the zombies wont have loot (besides you know normal zombie loot) thinking its a friendly runs out only to have his face ripped off.

 

so inclusion zombies with survivor skins no survivors turning in to zombies.

 

[Wazza 274]

But its says you are a bandit.. do you want a bandit zombie too?

[CommanderX (DayZ) 52]

maybe...

[AP_Norris 1018]

I will have my way with those bandit zombies!

[Wazza 274]

Well in that case why not man..everything else in the world has been suggested why not give this a run as well..

[IkaikaKekai 1957]

Maybe have them add in the old survivor skins (male and female) to the SA as an 'easter egg'.  Would just be another skin to the increase the variety slightly.

[King of kong 1117]

DayZ 2017 has something like this. And Epoch too.

[Mullraugh 1151]

I don't see how that would work unless you were bit by a zombie and turned into one. (And I'm sure not many people would like that added to the game)

From what I can tell, DayZ doesn't have the classic 'Walking Dead' George Romero zombies where everyone who dies turns into one.

[Chaingunfighter 917]

Zombies that look like survivors would be kind of fun (Though I don't really see the point in the SA), but having a dead survivor 'turn' is something that's been asked for a million times and will not be in the game.

 

Actually, the zombie variety in the current mod really sucks, it's just a bunch of mechanics, villagers (Jamie Hyneman), soldiers, cops, doctors and hunters. There's no real variety, especially to the civilian type of zombies.

He just means some zombies would have the 'standard' survivor skins (hat, vest, shirt, ect) not that players turn into zombies.

Unless you are a fresh player or really stupid in believing every player you encounter is friendly you wouldn't get that close to another survivor anyway since they normally shoot you the moment they see you.

He meant it like that. But still...survivors are immune to the virus. So it's basically not possible.

He just means the actual skin, not dead players or anything like that.  We (the Players) are the only survivors.  A baseball cap and tactical vest or hoody does not make someone immune to zombie.

I dunno, we better investigate further.

[harley001 315]

I can imagine holding someone up.  From behind they might look normal.  

 

"HEY, DON'T TURN AROUND!"

 

*zombie goes into supersprint and one shot KO's bandit with less then 9000 blood"

 

Then later that bandit will go the forums and says "SOME SPEED HACKER JUST KILLED MEH!  HE DIDNT EVEN HAZ GUN"

That would probably ends up what happens in the Mod, if they did it for SA (which would be my suggestion as an easteregg, to add the hero, bandit, and survivor skins) it wouldn't work.

Zombie survivors makes sense. Surely not everyone is immune to the virus, who tries too survive. I like the idea.

Unless it can be spread by air in which case... Everybody is focked.

Sure but perhaps they have enough time too gear up before they turn into a zombie, I mean there are military/medic camps in Chernarus because of the epidemic with infected soldiers. So enough time.

You forgot my personal favourite - the zombie priest!

[Bludy 324]

i'd like it as easter egg..once in like 100 infected should have classic mod skins

[r4z0r49 4761]

wasn't the player immune. Isn't that the hole story line 1% of the pop was immune to the infection. 

[IkaikaKekai 1957]

They are immune.  Nice Necro posting Bludy.

The OP's suggestion was basically add zombiefied survivor skins to the 'roster' of zombies.

He didn't say they died and turned into Zombies.

Maybe he means that they were non-immune survivors that hadn't been infected yet? I still don't like the idea though.

[DemonGroover 8836]

The more skins the better i suppose.

 

Id rather have more variety than see a survivor skin though.

 

Where are the Firemen?
