Crawling zombies jump up ladders, others open doors.

Beyond barricades there should be NO escape!

 

It's about time zombies became a threat, so I think they should have new skills like climbing up ladders and maybe opening doors(when they don't just run through them) unless they're barricaded or locked by players.

 

This would be fantastic and it would add so much difficulty, you can run away from a horde up a hospital roof but if you don't have a gun and loads of ammo, you're screwed 30 zombies are coming up that ladder.

 

This is how it should be in my opinion, no more safe camping on roofs to shoot everything, if you fire a shot the zombies are coming, make stealth 100% necessary in build up areas.

 

 

Just that makes it the zombie survival game we need it to be.

maybe if they fix zombies so they don't hit me when they are 10 feet behind me, until then, I'd rather run around a building and lose agro of them, not worth it to deal with them, most of the time i just pepper them down with my M4

Yeah I mean when zombies aren't intangible mutants with special powers they should do crap like this, if we can hide in buildings from hordes of them chasing us it will be way too easy.

omg you have to have some safe zones in the game. inside buildings and upstairs. part of the fun would be getting stuck and wondering how your going to get out.

I had a zombie fly up a ladder last night and whack me. What are you talking about? hahaha

This was actually the case in the mod, a stealth mechanic was active that you could crawl past zombies, if you shot a few blocks would be alerted and because of the zeds being modified arma 2 AI they could climb ladders, it really brings up the tension I can tell you that. you have my beans.

TBH, I don't think Zed's should be able to climb ladders.

 

If we take the 08/15-Zombie, which is rotting all the time.

They may "know" advanced movements like climbing ladders for some time. But when their brain and muscles are rotten, they can only walk or crawl.

 

I think in DayZ we should have this type of Zombie, which is esay to come by alone, but in "herds" or groups of 5 and more they become dangerous.

Safety should be barricading yourself in like if they let us move furniture and lock doors behind us, you're safe if you keep stealthy too but if you slip up it shouldn't be so easy as climb a ladder!

Yeah I think the runners should be fresh zombies essentially, with the motor functions and intelligence to open doors(maybe it could take them a while)

 

And then crawling ones for a start leap a hella distance, unless it's a tall ladder they should be able to jump up so their arms are on the roof and pull themselves up slowly they seem fairly animalistic, monkey like even.

Plus maybe they're stronger no normal human can crawl like they do as fast as they do and jump like that.

 

Maybe the zombie virus turns us in to apes...

 

Hilarity aside.

It'd be pretty great. It would make stealth weapons incredibly useful and make everyone think twice about shooting anything since they might have to take on many zombies with no escape.
