Mimic Zombie Movement & Play Dead

Mimicing How a Zombie Walks

I think it would add a really interesting twist on the PvP gameplay to have the ability to mimic how zombies walk, which could help you remain undetected in plain sight. I don't think zombies should be fooled by this though, would make it too easy. Also, it's pretty realistic; I know what I'd do if there was a sniper in the area and I could either run for it or blend in.

Playing Dead

Then there is the second suggestion - the ability to play dead. I beleive this would be very realistic and could help survivors survive, and bandits to set traps (i.e. fake dead body, friend kills guy trying to loot it).

I'd like to see your views and how you would expand this idea. I think it would really spice up and add more diversity to Dayz PVP.

I was about to hate your idea, then I read it and now I'm not sure.

Would be pretty easy to just cap the one random guy who doesn't look like a zed.

Faking death doesn't sound too useful practically, since once that showed up in a patch note everyone would just beat any "dead" body into a fine pulp with their hatchets before looting it.

While sniping at range it can be difficult to identify details like that.

What I said was only one example of how this could be used, it would be up to the player how they decided to use it but personally I think it would add another cool option to play with to bluff your way out of situations.
