How do you deal with zombies?

[meat pie 632]

Do you shoot zombies with you gun? do you switch to your handgun? Do you try to go for some CQB?

 

Do you use stealth? Do you run away? 

 

I shoot them with my SKS if I do fight them because I find trying to smack em with a axe is a good way to die.

 

Let me know what you do below.

I never shoot them unless one got a jump on me. I just strafe and whack them with the axe. Easy.

in whatever is the quietest and safest manner. sometimes its an axe to head and sometimes its a round or two from whatever firearm I may be carrying and sometimes its my fists in a frustrating toe to toe. I will note that occasionally I just run and when I run I usually aim to have the zed suicide over a hill or get distracted with some local wildlife. mostly I decide how to deal with them depending on where we are on the map and how many of them I have to deal with.

Uhh. I strafe two steps to the side, hit them with an axe, then move along. I'm baffled as to why you ask this question because zeds are almost totally trivial

I like to get several of them aggro on me and then I shoot them for target acquisition practice. Most other times though it's good ole circle strafe with an axe.

I dance with them a bit, & then smack them with an ax just after they take a swing at me.

I just circle around them... Easy kill, never get hit.

Circle, strafe, axe to pumpkin.

 

Unless I have a low pop server, am bored out of my mind, and have tons of ammo for my sidearm I want to throw out the window to make space for food....

 

Then I might shoot them.  But shooting them since the last update comes with problems, because they tend to respawn right where they died, plus it attracts others from up to 1/2 kilo away which I saw happen in a field outside of a town.  I went from 1 zombie, to three zombies, to eight zombies in less than 30 seconds.

I circle strafe w/ an axe, I stop to hit then keep moving. Unless I'm double carrying, then I'll shoot and run.

 

That said, damn I'm loving melee in .49!
