Stealth kills bug

[kumando 199]

Hey guys, since 1.16 im having a lot of trouble to perform stealth kills, anyone has had the same issues? And are the devs aware if so?

[WOLVERlNES 135]

Yeah, I feel it’s more difficult than before.

Not had any issues on xbox. Don't get too close

It's been a problem since it was introduced. It's often pot luck if your toon performs a "stealth kill" or just ends up slashing at a zombie's back like a dope.

I honestly struggle to get that close to them, and when I do, I end up slashing their back. And I think it’d be cool if you could do this on people as a reward for their ignorance/your stealth.

[Tonyeh 454]

The only human players that the stealth kill would work on are those that are AFK or asleep.

[Tristan Cooper 12]

Yeah, but if they were like sorting inventory, filling a gas tank, drinking from a fountain, basically anytime they’re standing still.

[Tonyeh 454]

They'd probably hear you before you got near enough.

Seriously, they'd want to be the absolute worst DayZ players ever to fall prey to a "stealth kill" in this game.

It's a nice idea, but it wouldn't work...unless players could be made absolutely silent and that's not going to happen because it would impact elsewhere.

I get what you’re saying though

Hmm, I rarely have an issue with this. I even feel that infected alertness was decreased significantly. I remember them chasing each door slam in like a 30 meter radius. Now I can go in and out of a house and even jog around indoor and they won't notice.
