How to effectively and safely deal with indoor Zs?

[ciphrix 0]

Hi All,

Been playing Dayz for a few days, and with the new patches, I'm finding it hard to deal with indoor zombies, specifically:

- Since they are in the building with the loot, you will need to kill them before u can loot, therefore u can either:

- use your gun to kill them, in which case you will attract more zombies and then you will need to kill them as well, using up a large ammo supply at the risk of only getting sub standard gear, or

- use melee, except melee is pretty buggy and unreliable, some time works perfect and they die, other times you swing 3+ times in perfect condition and they just don't die and you take damage or worse, broken leg/faint, in which case its game over or again, using up valuable resources for potentially little gain

Add to this the issue where while proned, sometimes when u cross the threshold fron outdoor to indoor, u automatically stand fully up, alerting both the in door and outdoor zombies....

Any tips / solutions to the above would be much appreciated. :blush:

You can toss tin cans outside. They should come to the sound. I have only read of this technique though, and not had a chance to use it since 1.7.1.5. Worth trying though.

[FIXED] Infected sometimes not inspecting thrown items (they will walk to the location of a noise, 20-40m away) So you can now use the bottles and cans to get the Zs out of the buildings (make sure the items hit the road to make noise)..
