sketch814 25 Posted October 16, 2014 I think being able to loot a dead zombie for items would be a good addition as the only way of looting is from killing humans or finding it in buildings. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamieslingz 8 Posted October 16, 2014 +1 I'd love to see this. If we could somehow harvest their cloths for rags or they carried small items like can openers, screwdrives etc that would be more plausable than say an Moisin or Helmet etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wookieg0420 21 Posted October 16, 2014 At the very least we should be able to loot the military zombies 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sketch814 25 Posted October 16, 2014 I'd like to see some essential items on them, but nothing too good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nokyookami 63 Posted October 16, 2014 1+i Think i Read somewhere Devs Are Planning on Zombies Having lootDeffinatly would Be Nice since Respawing after First 30 min on Coast Means All towns Have no Loot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DemonGroover 8836 Posted October 16, 2014 Considering you could loot zombies in the mod im pretty sure it will be similar in the SA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tolispro 7 Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) I like the idea but I think only 30-40% of the non-millitary zombies should have loot.(80% of millitary zombies should have loot) Edited October 19, 2014 by Tolispro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pvt_Larry (DayZ) 98 Posted October 19, 2014 On the one hand I understand from a game play perspective, but on the other- why can't I take that goddamn helmet from the military zombie!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UltimateGentleman 355 Posted October 19, 2014 I don't think military zombies should have that high a chance. I mean why did they die? Most likely, they ran out of bullets.They should have at best a couple of rounds or thinks like combat knives, rations maybe. Nothing that would make them a farmable resource to set you on your way, just minor chances for some helpful stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquidcactus 719 Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) It will be interesting to see. We may see zombie loots way down the track after the loot table of today and higher zombie count may take priority ?So how long did it take for that feature to show up in the mod ? I stopped playing the mod a long time ago but I'm sure it wasn't with in the 1st year of its release (2012) Edited October 20, 2014 by liquidcactus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The zombies aren't dead, they are living people with a REALLY bad virus. Some of them just happened to be serving in the military at the moment of the outbreak. They should have some gear on them that a soldier would have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would rather they just add dead bodies around with occasional loot I suggested that once in a gore topic, that and occasional loot on zombies would be great.

xXAC1DBURNXx 1 Posted October 26, 2014 This is a great idea, been wondering that myself. The items should depend on what person was killed for example soldier zombies should have military items, civilian could have food and supplies, but the nicer the item the rarer a chance it will have that item. Basically the same as the randomness from loot spawns just on zombies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
degude 133 Posted October 27, 2014 It was in the mod and I think they even confirmed it for the SA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquidcactus 719 Posted October 27, 2014 % chance of catching zombie aids from said lootable zombie items ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Draco122 412 Posted October 29, 2014 % chance of catching zombie aids from said lootable zombie items ^_^ I kinda posted something in response to this, in terms of performing basic hygiene to prevent or reduce the risk of catching a disease or infection when looting zombies or old corpses. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/214055-basic-hygiene/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mor (DayZ) 57 Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) It is a good idea. But, this can be easily abused with the current mechanics. Right now I can draw streams of zombies into field and farm them... I think this should only implemented if zombies become more of a threat. A group of zombies, with only a few of them actually having anything of value will be nice.

For the most part it could be crap like bubble gum or a guitar pick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
