johnnythehobo 0 Posted May 13, 2016 Ok I played the mod for years, recently bought the stand alone. In the mod I was a loner never really bothering with people till they shot at me. That being said I don't rock a mic yet, what's the best way in the standalone to get across your friendly? beside like direct chat...and friendly emotes?

ZomboWTF 527 Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) shoot them in the face, that normally makes them pretty peaceful on a more serious note though: try to act like meeting another survivor is no big deal, greet them like you would greet a person you walk past on the street don't do that weird left/right dance most people do to not get shot, it just makes you more suspicious don't try to flank them, if a guy i meet tries to run past me to get into my blind spot, i raise my gun at him you can normally run around with your gun in your hands, but under no circumstance raise it into their direction, obviously sprinting also may sometimes look like you are trying to get the drop on someone also, don't run screaming at someone "friendly! friendly!" that looks extremely desperate and like a setup Edited May 13, 2016 by ZomboWTF 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeefBacon 1185 Posted May 13, 2016 Honesty, I'd just get a mic. In my case the mic on my headset broke for some reason, so now I use the inbuilt mic of an old webcam. Works fine, though it's not the greatest sound quality. If you stop to type in chat you're liable to get shot. A lot of people also don't trust people who don't talk back - so not having a mic in itself can be seen as hostile in some way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
