Akon 0 Posted April 24, 2014 So i was running through town as a fresh spawn after being KoSed by 3 guys, i found a splinting axe and thought "Oh Boy! I can kill zombies fairly easy" So a zombie comes running upto me, it took over 10 hits to kill it and i almost died from it, only one zombie (It use to take 2 hits) So my question is, in the new update yesterday were the Zombies health/endurance increased, and if so how do I kill relatively quickly?

TEST_SUBJECT_83 465 Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Headshots are still one hit kills.Headshots seem to act the same as before.Honestly this is the way it should be...if the melee system felt right and your hits actually connected and it felt like you were actually making contact with the zombies instead on flailing around spinning in circles trying to hit the fuckin things.At least give us a horizontal attack so we can hit them while strafing. But since the melee system is something you'd expect from a game in 1991, we have to keep it as simple as possible.

.Ender. 42 Posted April 24, 2014 I have been away from DayZ mod for quite some time..and heard someone mention it out of the blue. So I checked Steam and YouTube, and sure enough the Standalone is out and has record numbers being sold and players for an alpha game. Cool...Ill join again now with common versioning and Im assuming, less cheating. I know its alpha still, but I was really hoping after all this time they'd have zed hit boxes down. I go through shirts/rags like crazy taking down every single zed with an axe. 10+ hits later I'm near dead. I used to be very good with an axe, and ONLY used it, as Id be stealthy everywhere I went. Now, not only are they superman Zeds, they can out run you, see you from a mile away, and you CANNOT lose them even through trees, buildings, etc. Their ability to track you even out of sight is a bigger issue than them just being super strong (because at least you can retreat). $30 is good for this game I think, but I really wish they'd just fix the simple things first...like, I dunno, being able to play legit and take on the zeds somewhat fairly.. why are these trivial things still existent after years now of DayZ testing (whether in a mod or not)?

trickle 2 Posted April 27, 2014 i just had that problem. Had an m9 sd. Killed a few zombies in 1-2 shots. Then one zombie runs up to me, i must have used almost a whole magazine on the damn thing. After lots of head and body shots it did eventually die.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are "just" infected humans, with all of our basic sensory facilities intact. You couldn't smell a person from 500m away, why should a zombie? It makes no sense.

Axe was decreased in damage in the process. I recommend you try the ........28 OTHER different kinds of melee. You might be really surprised at what works better......
