Theory concerning insta-death

[''Ragnor'' 3]

So, I have noticed when logging out of the game the stats box shows inaccurate data. Such as showing 5 survivors killed when I have not harmed a soul (as I am a pacifist) or 1,237 zombies killed when the actual number might be 120 or so. So are these stats are incorrect and random? Or are they some other survivors stats?

And if they are someone elses stats then why are they showing on my character?  Is it possible then either through stack overflow or intention data push or code injection that insta-deaths are actually dying someone else's death? A death attributed to the wrong survivor? This would account for the seemingly senseless instant mortality in what would otherwise seam to be a 'safe' environment. 

Just a theory, but it's the best one I've got.

I think this is done so that cheaters do not compete with each other based on these statistics. ))

I think this has always just been bugged

I can see why somebody would think that character stats/data could be tied to insta deaths (one player dies causing you to die too), but that would have to be serious spaghetti code for that to happen that I kinda doubt that.

I think it's just a bug somewhere in the stats code and it retrieves wrong data. It's a low priority issue though.

This whole game is spaghetti code.

Everything other than adding more gunz in low priority for devs.

Adding guns only takes 3D artists, texture artists, animation guys and sound guys... none of those are responsible for fixing the bugs and adding features.

Most probably they are already going to reuse those models anyway for other games, idk. But you can't have them sitting on their asses and not doing anything.

Which is the problem, a lot of people are complaining about this game being a battle royale with some survival elements, while devs just add more and more guns because it's too much hard work to add other features or fix existing problems. And those guys could be used to make new items of clothing, a working boat to allow travel to prison island, further expand base building, add non lethal weapons, the list goes on. But nah here's another assault rifle no one asked for.
