That gave me an idea actually...

if you get killed you body turns into some superzombie that hunts down the killer. Fix bandit problem.

Except the zombies in the game are not dead people they are infected people so if a zombie kills you and you die then you are dead and not infected. It would be better to just have the zombies infect you on a chance hit.

No, they do not. Bodies stay for a while, attracting flies, so you can loot them.

Then they simply disappear, although the flies seem to hang aroun for a bit. maybe they eat the bodies super fast?

No there are no player controlled zombies in game yet......

So it was a glitch/bug or something?

What probably happened was, the body disappeared, and right at that moment a mil-spec Zed aggro'd to you and glitched through the wall. I've seen similar things happen.

Bandits aren't a "Problem" of the game. They are part of it, they aren't like server hoppers or DC'ers. They are part of the challenge of the game. Not something that needs to be patched or taken out.
