What do you die from?

[king_of_the_beans 92]

I saw someone post about sniping being useless and I thought how often do people die from anything including other fire arms.

 

Note: I was going to put in how often do you die of bugs but the damn forums only allow 3 questions, so if you can please post how often you die from bugs.

 

Note: Suicides do not count for obvious reasons

You need the option for "Falling Off Buildings"

I die from running through Berezino naked out of boredom.

Yea, ladders are probably my second leading cause between short-medium range primary firearms.

[Murlough 192]

It should be 0-25% i don't think ive ever been killed by a secondary fire arm.

[Siberian (DayZ) 527]

mike tyson punch-out and glitching Zombies (usualy rubberbanding related) and of course bugs due to landscapes issues ie ladders/stairs etc.

 

UGH, the punchout is the worst thou..such a bad idea..hopefully private hives n modding remove punching comptlely..

Dude I died once out of my 20+ deaths from a player's bullets and that's bc my legs were broken and it was a mercy killing. I've died the other times half from starving/thirst(that was when SA first came out) and the other have bc somehow I glitch walking up stairs and go through a building and fall to my death....lol

[Ubernaut 297]

Oh, what, nobody dies from zombies or starvation anymore?

 

What about player melee? That happens a pretty good amount, too.

[tiadashi 262]

I still see a friend here or there die from the dreaded, "one shot" zombie death strike - not common but its there

[vitdom 56]

I never die lol.  :thumbsup: B) :beans:

My main cause of death in the first 1-3 hours of the game (which was right after the initial release in december) was malnutrition and the occasional bleedout from zombie hits. Then, after I'd learned proper diet and where to aim when meleeing the zeds, I didn't die for a pretty long time (or so it felt; it was maybe 5 in-game hours). That's when I started to look for some guns... So, natually, I casually walked onto the Balota airfield (which I found by accident - I didn't even know about tent-city and what buildings spawn good loot), in the middle of the night, flashlight out and everything, and started to loot the hangars and what everyone calls "the prison", even though it's clearly just another support building with bunks, desks and equipment. I had no awareness of danger whatsoever because all players I had met so far were friendly and I had no idea what it was like in the mod.

 

To make a long story short, I went in one of the 'racks and was immediately fired upon (M4 from somewhere outside, but I couldn't tell back then). I sprinted out in the general direction of the western entrance - hit, but not too bad - and um... lied down (to "hide in the grass"). Dude came up from behind and just shot me to death (duh). Since then, I've been shot three times - once while trying out a gun for the very first time (in the middle of Electro...), another time after I logged in on top of a "school" (I didn't log out there voluntarily, the server crapped out - at least I got two of them) and then once in a prison (I shot first because fuck the special edition changes).

 

Compared to the XX times the shipwreck killed me, that's nothing! Pretty much all non-firearm related deaths were me walking off buildings because my controls were locked, or glitching through rails and then falling to my death. Funny thing though, I haven't died to a ladder (yet). This one time, I was standing on the walkway of a lighthouses, looking through my scope to scout the area, when suddenly the ground appeared to slowly move upwards - I remember thinking "huh, that's funny" before I realizing that I was falling down...

Only got long ranged sniped once. Most other deaths were by snipers in cities on much shorter distances and mostly from players that I passed either with disinterest or approached attempting to communicate and which shot me in return. The classical "I just pass along and all I got is an axe to defend myself from zombies" - "Oh you look like a walking treasure chest. Let's see what we have here.. BAM" situations.

[theevancat 94]

I've only fallen off buildings and got shot close range.

rarely from snipers, and a fair balance of the other two. bugs not so much, tho i dont realy climb ladders or towers that often... if you count players exploiting glitches then thats considerably high as well.

 

Overall i think "snipers" carry a stigma. thier generally hated on in almost every game- because of that instant death without warining or cause from afar. in reality, a good sniper can insta-kill you without you ever knowing he was there but he also isn't rackinig up a huge kill count. hes picking a nice target making that perfect shot and moving soon as he thinks people might begin to suspect his location.

In elektro, when im trying to loot most of the time. Farther up north its usually snipers. Often I come across a guy in the barracks.

Lmfao...... exactly!

I die probably 95% of the time from glitching through windows/walls or falling off ladders and stairs.

Very, very rarely do I die by another players hands. :D

[TonyMahony 17]

I died from such an idiot who glitched through the floor at the prison. F*cking bastards.

[Cuqah 22]

i die alot more from starvation/dehydration than i do at the hands of other players. dont even get me started on my deaths by zombie

[BrainlessZombie 190]

Is missing 'glitches' option, i'd say +80% deads due to glitches.
