Jayrod (DayZ) 22 Posted May 19, 2014 Since the update I have had a couple instances where once an article of clothing gets ruined, a zombie has killed me in a single blow. No unconsciousness or bleeding out just bam dead. While my clothing is somewhat intact it seems I can take numerous blows with little effect. Anyone else experiencing this? Is it better to replace ruined items immediately with anything you find instead of keeping them on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
odin_lowe 3686 Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) Clothing in good condition do protect more, but be careful, even with full pristine gear and a pristine ballistic helmet, you can get 1 hit ko by zombies if they hit you in the head. First hand experience, and saw Warpath ( a clan mate) get kill that way, right in front of me. Edited May 19, 2014 by Odin Lowe 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applejaxc 2500 Posted May 19, 2014 I've been one-shot from zombies while at perfect health (which I've never achieved again >.>), helmet, vest, everything. It slapped my M4 hard enough that it got ruined, so my panicked "Oh shi oh shi shoot shoot shoot" just wasted ammo as its second, on-body hit killed me.
