Random Shots to Legs

[domxnik 2]

This has happened two times to my friend and we can't explain it. Every time we take somebody out and we go to loot, my friend ends up getting shot in the legs. We hear four shots every time resualting in low blood, bleeding, and ruined pants. We've searched the area both times this has happened and there was no one else in the area. What we really don't understand is why the legs and why only shoot four times and not finish him off? We're not bad at the game and can usually point out where shots are coming from. Both times this has happened the shots sound like someone has the muzzle right at your ear.

 

 

The first time this happened was at Balota, west of the military tents. I took out two guys, one had a M4 and the other a Mosin. After waiting a bit, I moved up to the west stand while my friend was in the trees just to the west. Right when I was about to check the bodies I heard four quick shots that sounded like they were right next to me, but it was my friend that was shot. I looked around the tents closest to me before running back to the coast. I ran in the open for some time and didn't get shot at once. We went a bit more west to make sure nobody was coming around and to recover. About five minute later, we head back and both the bodies are gone and no more shots came.

 

Second time this happened was at the NE Airfield just at the bottom of Olsha hill where the dirt roads meet. We heard a bunch of Mosin shots and were trying to figure out which tree line or bush he was sitting in. I ran in the open from the ATC building to draw him out. It worked, but I got shot in the legs. While I was recovering in a bush, I heard four quick shots just like at Balota, and so did my friend. Once again, the shots sounded like the muzzle was right next to our ear. Again, my friend was shot in the legs and no more shots were fired after that. And again, the body was gone when we came back after recovering.

 

 

I'm not sure if these are coincidences and both those people just happened to have four rounds left, or they just wanted to scare us off to hide their friends body or what. Every time this happens it's the same outcome. Why in the legs? Why only four shots? Where are the bodies going?

I would guess there was a zombie trapped undeground attacking you.

That's a pretty interesting dilemma you got there.... does your friend's legs break? maybe the goal is to incapacitate and buy time..

Quite a few of the things that happen to me while playing at night result in nearly ruining my pants in real life.

I have had this happen before. The server spawned stuff a level beneth us and I've been attacked by zombies under the ground before. They do not make gunshot sounds and there was loot in the server, so I rulled that out.

His legs do not break. Can you even break your legs in the game? I got shot by a Mosin in my legs and didn't go down. lol

It was the ghost of the Green Mountain.

Sometimes I aim for the legs, means most of their gear won't be damaged when you pry it from their cold dead fingy's

In the game, I have had my legs randomly break twice now. Just all of a sudden. Friends have seen it happen and confirm no shots fired.... Just buggy alpha randomness. I'm sure it's going to get worked out.

But do they make gunshot sounds or any sounds at all? I didn't hear any zombies. I've had zombies under the ground hit me and they make zombie sounds.

If zombie is hiting some texture, it does gunshot sounds. If zombie was hiting a player from undeground, throught texture it would do gunshot sounds.

Zombies under the ground makes sense, but it doesn't explain the bodies disappearing when we come back. The only thing I can think of is the player cleanup screwing us over.
