Zombies eating corpses

[Jumbaliah 113]

I'm sure the development team already has plans for this but I just wanted to talk about it. 

 

I really hope that later on when a zombie kills something (animal or human) that it takes some time to feast on the corpse. Would be lame if they just killed you and ran on to the next victim. They are doing this to eat after all!

There are several videos of zombies eating players they have killed, so it seems to be in the game now. However as I have never seen it myself when playing (it is after all a relatively rare thing for a player to get killed by a zombie), I don't know if they only added it in this latest experimental or whether it is an older feature.

It's in the game already. Zombies will keep hitting a dead player for some time before moving onto the next target.

I have seen gameplay videos of them crouching and actually doing an eating animation. Unfortunately I can't recal which ones.

this happened to me ONCE. but its infected, not undead zombies, so i don´t think its good to have that in the game.

I remember they used to gather around a body in the mod. About a dozen, so looting the body requires you to expose yourself by ridding of them.

They better be eating these corpses. I'd hate to see my body going to waste.

I found one of those videos featuring the zombie eating animation (around 0:10):
