Poison arrows by stabbing dead zeds

Recommended Posts

I know this topic has been discussed, but you can't tell me you wouldn't have fun trolling geared players by shooting them with an "infected" arrow you poisoned by poking a dead zed. Yes, they'll probably kill you..but their scramble for meds after that would be so worth it.

They have said in the pass there will be means of infecting others with different diseases.  Say rubbing a canteen or backpack against a zombie that was infected with cholera  and putting it down in a high value place is one means of doing it.  Simply stabbing a dead zombie at random wouldn't do it though (we're immune to the zombie virus).  In the mod shortly before SA released they had 'infected' zombies, ones that were tougher and more 'grimy' looking, they had a high chance of infecting you with a sickness.  I'm sure it'll be something similar when diseases are added.  Either certain zombies will spawn 'sick' (cholera, gangrene, typhoid, smallpox, ect) and through contact with them (being attacked/attacking), certain items would/can be infected (that raincoat you picked up at the hospital might not be as clean as you think), or even environmental infections (drinking from an infected river, screwing around near a mass grave, ect).

Cool idea... most likely rubbing an arrowhead into a dead body that has been left for a while would be most effective. That could be a good use for rotting meat!
