Dayz - Zombie headshots

[over9000nukez 199]

Well it is known that headshots do kill zombies, .22 cant kill a zombie unless its a headshot, or 5 shots to the chest, maybe it should be like this for every gun?

 

This would most definatly make zombies a bigger threat (of course not in this update, respawning zombies and all) but in a later date then its not quite as ridiculous with zombies spawning 5m behind you, it might be a good change.

 

the game with zombie killing right now is so ridiculous its almost laughable, I need to pull out my amphibian (.22 pistol) out just to make it more difficult, because every other gun other then .22 its 1 bullet in the center of mass.

 

discuss.

 

Edit:

 

Iv'e noticed fighting on whether these things are infected people or the living dead, we cant say we know for a fact unless some sort of god or something, or the devs told us otherwise. ill say I don't know for RP sake because in reality we wouldn't know either, we'd only have a hypothesis

I like the idea,it's just that

people will say that the infected

are preet much alive but sick people.

Considering that fact,you won't need to

have a headshot of them in orde to stop their

bodily fucntions.Now,in order to achieve this,and be

realism friendly,i suggest we take out the conception of them

feeling any pain,and the diesease gives them extreme endurance.

I thought we discussed this already.

They're undead Z

Headshots?

Sure!

They are living infected people, not undead ;)

But Headshots, sure, it should stop them instant tbh, and body shots should kill them aswell.

Its fine the way it is, they just need to configure weapon damage towards a more realistic damage tbh.

I don't really think this is a great idea, and I'd rather not even put the idea in the dev's head until we can discuss

-zombies clipping through walls

-zombies clipping through floors

-swinging axes indoors and hitting everything but the zombie

Is this a Z apocalypse game or what.

Yes, but it is not undead zombies, it is infected people, much like we see in "28 Days Later".

Official words from Rocket, has always been like this, and will most likely never change.

I'm sorry,as much as i would like them to be undead,

there are sources that state the oposite.We can't decide

on something that it's not,that;s also the reason why,we don't

see them walking with missing limbs or have large wounds,art wise.

[Jex 1104]

Make it head shot only to kill them but make it possible to blow off their limbs so they have to crawl after you.

[mgc 92]

So it's an apocalypse with sick people.

You wanna cure them now I suppose?

I mean, they're human beings, not monsters.

They can only be cured with high doses of pB or amputation of the head...

[mgc 92]

Look, if they're zombies for all intents and purposes except the name, don't be a sissy about it and let them be zombies. Much more fun.

IMHO headshots should be the only way to kill a zombie. maybe also shoot em in the legs so they start crawling. 

 

 

However, none of that should be implemented until the wall clipping and bugging has been fixed.

Infected humans can be killed in a myriad of ways. Zombies need to be shot in the head.

[Martmital 436]

I can't shoot for shit... makes no difference to me where I need to aim.

only thing I have against that is they can take an axe to the chest and keep going, they need 2 axe blows to the chest to actually die.

Hello, friend.

Rocket himself has said more than once that the "zombies" are the 28 Days style infected humans, not undead.

[Pandema 352]

I think they should rework the gun damages in general.

 

Put them on the same health values players have or something near it as well.

 

Also, infected.
