What to do with dead players

Recommended Posts

They should re-animate into zombies, about 5 minutes after death. So get that loot quick!

Has been suggested before, and I still really love the idea!

Though, if only you could still get the loot after killing the reanimated dead player.

They are not 'dead' zombies, only Infected people. Once dead they dont rise from the grave - they are not your classical zombies

That could change though so who knows what the life cycle of an Infected will be.

I think this is a great idea.

Player dies.. they die... "YOU ARE DEAD"...

But thats where it ends for your body.

After you DC the body, within 5 mins becomes an NPC Zed..

with player skin/all the loot that was on the body including backpack.

This would however have a huge impact on people wanting to go back to their bodies to loot their stuff back.

But if no one has already killed the zed player body and looted the corpse...

you just have to find it walking around and do it.

It adds the extra challenge of finding your body.. and having to kill it to get to it.

Id assume a zed only walks within a particular range of where it spawned.

So it shouldn't be too hard... particularly if it was in the middle of nowhere.

The extra awesome part is all the player body zeds walking around fooling players into thinking they're other players from a distance... And imagine the added extra challenge of stumbling across 5 player bodies where zeds dont spawn.

It makes for unpredictability!

SURPRISE!! om nom nom.
