One touch from a Zombie makes you bleed

[dayzus 2]

Has anyone seen this? I've died two different times from a zombie touching me once and making me bleed.

You can take off your shirt, right-click it and 'tear into rags' and then right-click the rags to bandage yourself with them.

They have sharp razors tapped to their hands. Also they can run like olimpic sprinters, and they can track you like a sniffing dog. You have to enter/exit 68 houses to get rid of them, to bad you will fall unconcsious before you can do that.

And dont forget to drink your water every 2 minutes.

If you are not satisfied just leave the game, lol. It's too easy to kill the zombies, and it's not necessary more than one hit to make you bleed.

It's depending your luck. I was hit 10 times making me bleed 8/10 and then in other life i was hit 15 times not bleeding once.

yeah just as bad as the mod. Saw only one zombie while playing, he was stood completely still, walked up to him swinging my crowbar and he had a mini epileptic fit then I was bleeding. I whacked him several times, then he fell on the floor. Seconds later he was back standing up attacking me, then fell to the floor and vanished. Yes, excellent improved AI.

if im not mistaken the better clothes your wearing has an effect on this.

sure is i did bit of experimenting, i spawned next a zombie and got into a fist cuff fight with him took me a while but i was pretty much bleeding straight away. I then, just before player wipe, tried again this time I had a crash helmet on, rain coat, cargo pants and naturally sun glasses. Zombie gave me a least 5 hits was not bleeding at all and allowed me to grasp the "axe in the face technique". So all about clothing, also a helmet makes you pretty much impossible to knockout from another player using just there fists ;-)

 

mucho fun!!

This. Zombie are trying to eat you not fight you they are biting and scratching. Their fingernails also would have kept growing so yes 1 hit from them should make you bleed. Most zombie fiction is 1 scratch u get a infection and turn into a zombie from it.

The point is you're not supposed to be getting hit.

I quite like this system personally. Once you get the hang of running around in a circle with the zombie and wacking it with your fists or a melee weapon, they really aren't hard to kill. I rarely ever get hit. Not to mention all the rags in my inventory from all the shirts I've found. 

 

I'm pretty sure most people with this issue just stand still for the most part while smashing a zombie's brains in, or just don't know how to effectively run in circles with a zombie like a loon lol.

 

Also I had no idea clothes affected hits. o__O Now I really regret skipping out on all those helmets I found. I'm gonna miss my wolf mask and silly hat though, lol.

I shall share with you all my ninja secrets, passed down from generation to generation for dealing with zombies without even getting hit.

 

Joust 'em.

Run towards them, as you get close, start swinging whatever weapon you have so that you'll hit them as you run past. Keep running for another second or two, then turn round and run at them again, doing the same. Takes a little while to get the timing of the swing right, but as long as you keep that W key held down, they won't hit you at all.

If you're not wearing a silly hat, you're doing DayZ wrong. :p
