malcotch 4 Posted February 18, 2015 I was walking along a track late last night heading into what I believed to be Krasnostav, when a deer or another small animal ran across the road and across the field, following behind moving fairly fast was a figure, I quickly checked and there were no other players online, so I can only assume it was a zombie chasing the animal. Is this a new feature I've never seen Zombies interact with other animals before? Also it was a little unnerving in the darkness, especially with the speed it was going, not even players seem to run that fast! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Downydan (DayZ) 41 Posted February 18, 2015 Yep. Zombies chase wildlife. I have seen several zombies trained onto a single cow and said cow runs into the ocean with the zombies following. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadAsh (DayZ) 1513 Posted February 18, 2015 It is indeed pretty funny to watch, I have even experienced zombies kill a deer for me when I didn't have any gun to shoot it with and when I was close to starvation. I repaid their kindness by cleaving their skulls with my axe. This chasing behaviour is not a new thing though, they have been doing it since wildlife was introduced to the game. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elle 562 Posted February 18, 2015 the zeds have been chasing animals since we have had animals in the game to hunt. sometimes you will even find a dead animal that has not been skinned and a zed lurking nearby. I found a chicken like this just about an hour ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sachad 1016 Posted February 18, 2015 I make it my duty to save defenseless animals from zeds. Also I am hoping for bears and wolves, so I can watch zeds get mauled by them. Shit is cash! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blowurselfup 54 Posted February 18, 2015 Funnier still is when you round up a pack of zombies and lead them to a cow that they chase around Berezino Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Downydan (DayZ) 41 Posted February 18, 2015 I like this zombie behavior. Keeps me on my toes... see a zombie running have to make the determination if its chasing a player or an animal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have seen the Z's chasing the wildlife but, never seen the animal fear for it's life. I would have been laughing for a while after that, NICE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

igor-vk 909 Posted February 19, 2015 If you encounter invisible zombies, try leading them to animals. They give up on you and chase animal. If you can find animals. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really no reason to record. It is something that most of the players have seen and it happens often Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
