Death By Crowbar 1213 Posted May 14, 2014 I've been noticing some different pathing and behavior of zeds. I swear to all that's holy tonight I was fighting one, killed it, then one of the chick zeds came pathing in a giant square around me and appeared to run into a house and then fall down dead. Can that really happen? I swear to all holy I never touched the bish, she I had nothing to do with it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klesh 2423 Posted May 14, 2014 I've seen them die from running too fast down a hill, but never into something. Heck, I thought they could run straight through houses! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n1kko 326 Posted May 14, 2014 I've seen them agro on each other. I had two chasing me, and the one in the back jumped for me, and hit the other one, and at that point they gave up on me and beat the crap out of each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noother10 6 Posted May 14, 2014 I remember one of the funniest things I'd seen a month or 2 ago when I was running through a town and heard a zombie, so looked behind me to see a zombie run down a very slight hill and proceed to face plant on the road and die, I laughed my head off. I wonder if it is to do with them bugging and running too hard taking fall damage when going down a hill or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hells high 676 Posted May 14, 2014 I like to lead them to small hills, they can sometimes seem to trip and kill themselves. Good times. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irish. 4886 Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) There is the small off chance someone was watching you and tried to protect you.. a very long range sniper shot can make no sound on the SA. Outside of that, Ive only seen Zeds kill each other while swinging at me.. which is hilarious. Many a Zed has helped me survive ;) Edited May 14, 2014 by lrish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bororm 1156 Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) I saw one do the same thing, it looked like he ran into the wall of the house and died. However, I'm all but certain it was just that it jumped off a small ledge near the house and died from that fall. still looked funny though Edited May 14, 2014 by Bororm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many a Zed has helped me survive ;)Yeah, zeds can be useful if used correctly. However, my question for you, do yuo know why the sound is not coming when the shot is fired from a given distance? Has this something to do with the rendering of sound ingame? I live 4km off a shooting range, and sometimes i still hear the gunshots if the wind is blowing is the right direction.have the devs said anything about when the sound is going to be fixed?

Sounds are just fucked up/buggy. If you aren't facing the direction of a shot, often times you can't hear it at all. There's also some bug going around where some people can hear shots and others cant. Had a person shooting about 40m in front of me one day, my friend right by me facing the same way and he couldn't hear it. It's just a mess, they'll sort it out eventually.

I guess i gotta check with a mate to be sure both are hearing sounds before entering the NWAF next time :-P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bororm 1156 Posted May 15, 2014 NP, it's a pain considering how important it is to be able to tell where shots are coming from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Neville 59 Posted May 30, 2014 I like to lead them to small hills, they can sometimes seem to trip and kill themselves. Good times. I tried to use this trick today. The zombie didn't slow down and since I was uphill he managed to hurt me in the leg. Luckily I found some morphine in a nearby hospital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luckily I found some morphine in a nearby hospital.Yeah, it's never exact. Sometimes, when running downhill, the zeds fall and die, yet other times they run right with you the whole time. I try it once, and if that doesn't work, i head upstairs in a building then double-tap them from the steps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weyland Yutani (DayZ) 1159 Posted May 30, 2014 Not only have I seen it happen, but I have film of two zeds hitting what looked like an area where someone had logged out. But, they were giving each other damage and one died. I'll try and dig it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert Neville 59 Posted June 2, 2014 I witnessed this today. A zombie soldier was running towards me down a very gentle slope -- it was pratically in plain. I lift my axe and prepared to strike when he dropped dead a few meters from me. Funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rickyriot 1009 Posted June 2, 2014 I've seen them just fall over as if they have been hit, yet no-one was near it (not even another zombie) and they weren't moving and no blood animation was visible. As glitches go, it's hardly a bad one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stryker007 39 Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) I second the idea a distant sniper may of shot it dead. I've had a mate using a mosin shoot a zombie off me from a great distance... I heard no shot from the mosin and the zombie to me just appeared to literally disappear mid running, thus was dead. Mate confirmed he'd shot it. Also if your on a hill then zombie do seems to kill themselves by running down-hill and jumping. Edited June 2, 2014 by stryker007 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
