Gregor Lenhardt 4 Posted October 25, 2021 Before the stealthkill-update you were still able to kill the zombie if he was "suspicious", making the "huh" sound and turning the head a bit. This is not possible anymore, especially the military base zombies are way to alertive for getting a stealthkill now. It is fine that they are more alertive. But that awareness always destroys the possiblity for a stealthkill if you do not give the player the possiblity to still kill them in that little time window (idle -> huh? -> startled). The player is already taking a risk to kill the zombie with the knife, it should be rewarding to be able to kill them, not an annoyance because you can't finish the job anymore just because he got a little suspicious. It is debatable for sure how long the "huh?"-animation should last, this could be raised or lowered to either make it harder or easier for the player. That totally depends on you guys. But right now its not rewarding and fun anymore to sneak in a military base or villages further inland. I am as always at a great risk getting shot by other players while most of the time never really being able to stealthkill the zombie and alerting them anyways. I mean, what am I suposed to to anyway the moment the zombie gets the sus-animation? I can't do else apart from starting to slash him as if he were alerted. I am not even allowed to abort the mission and not alert him since the time window does not allow that. Thanks for reading! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZBA 66 Posted November 2, 2021 I agree. Stealth kill is awsome but its too hard to use. Our character makes too much noise even with light boots. 1. Change kill trigger from Right mouse button + Left mouse button to F to kill zombie. Its easier and faster for everyone + let us see "F" button on zombie when we are behind him to know that we are able to sneak kill him 2. Make our character like 50% more silent during crouch walk 3. Let us kill zombie during "huh?" zombie event 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dialectic 6 Posted November 20, 2021 At 2 noise bars, you can sneak up to any zombie from behind without them noticing. Even if they turn around you can still stealth kill them from front. "the player is taking a risk" the zombie is the risk, a silent kill is the safest thing you can do than to be aggro'd and chased. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DayzDayzFanboy 1280 Posted November 20, 2021 I can't see what the problem is with the current stealth kill mechanic. Crouch walk up behind an infected and stab him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crouch walk up behind an infected and stab him tbh it takes way too long, should be changed just how the OP said. I don't even bother with stealth kills cuz they somehow sometimes hear me even when I'm wearing sneakers (or I'm just bad at it?), with boots it's pretty much impossible.

DayzDayzFanboy 1280 Posted November 21, 2021 I honestly don't seem to have difficulties with them. Been wearing boots too. As long as you don't crouch run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
