What zombies bring to the tactics of DayZ

[Rufert 146]

I miss the inspect corpse option.

 

Also I'd like to see zombies munching on corpses, so if you get downed by zombies, or shot near zombies, or just die for whatever reason with a zombie near your corpse. 

 

You'll get eaten.

 

Your clothes will all be completely ruined, and most other solid items you have would need disinfecting. Save maybe anything inside a yellow carry case or ammo case.

 

I've always found the zombies to be, potentially at least a very interesting tactical element to DayZ.

 

You take a shot at someone, you'll get swarmed if zombies are near, so you'll have to think twice, and camping isn't as viable. 

 

You kill someone, don't get to the corpse fast enough or shoot the zombies eating it, and the gear will be ruined. 

 

Zombies can both keep you stationary, but unable to fire, or force you to fire/move. 

 

They'll home in on unseen snipers on a hillside that took shots at you. 

 

They add risks to your actions, and are a force of nature.

i like the idea of them eating at dead players slowly destroying their clothes, not so keen on items in backpack though, but i guess they would go hand in hand

Reasoning there was that it'd be a mess, they'd generally not care about the stuff in the backpack, but would flail at it to get past it to the meat. And that'd soil it.

Nice, wasn't there a mod that had a similar thing where the zeds would congregate around a corpse? Sure one of them did. Anyway this would fit in nicely with SA.

 

Now Quick, close the thread before some CoD kiddy comes along herpa derping about how it'll break his game. :P
