Date/Time: 2:30pm AEST

What happened:

We were in the factory at 115076 (GPS COORDS) farming it for an engine, and then a admin posted that the server would be going down in 2 mins, we got to a safe spot, logged off and waited for the server to be restarted, once it had, i logged in, and had a look around, a zombie was close enough to see me and it ran towards me, it then vanished and appeared behind me, it then hit me and it suddenly came up with the "YOU ARE DEAD" screen, it was also showing that i has -14,000 (minus fourteen thousand blood) before it hit me i had 12,000 blood, so it had hit me for 26,000 damage in one hit

This is why it hit you so hard.

How much blood did you have?

Zombies can one shot you if you are below 9k blood.

Whoa. 12k blood? Mm...

Dat One Shot

[ZomboWTF 527]

wow, seems like he punched you through the floor, did that zombie say something like "Saxton HAAAAALE!" or similar?

"it then vanished and appeared behind me"

It must be an assassin critical hit. ouch :3

Or there could have been a desync, and it actually hit you multiple times, which when the desync cleared equated to 26k damage :)

You did log in directly after a restart, so many others doing the same thing can cause a massive dip in server responsiveness.

As well as the zed teleing directly behind you, defo sounds like a desync to me :)

Could also have been a headshot from a sniper...

Your all wrong. It was a rogue zombie. It used shadowstep and then ambush for a 26k crit.

OP zombie is OP and needs nerfing.
