Personally, I curse and run like hell with a trail of expletives behind me. What about you? (first poll post ever)

Situational. If I'm already drawing a bead, finish quick.

If not, and let's say I just hear it, I jump up and run to somewhere that I can handle them, and kill what I need to.

If I'm just travelling, I'll peel them off rather than shooting them.

Curse, then run. I usually try to play their line of sight against them tho. Thick bushes and trees usually do the trick. Also, running through buildings and sheds that have 2 doors is a good tactic. So they slow down and walk. Giving me time to get away.

Oh, and docks, on the beach and some ponds. Zombies can't walk on them and start to walk in the water like with buildings. Giving you time to get away.

I know plenty of people who abort and rejoin, add that as an option. As for my self, I just get annoyed. Especially when I'm not making any noise whatsoever.

Depends on where I'm at and what I'm doing. These are possible options:

1. Kill it loudly.

2. Kill it quietly.

3. Run away, breaking line of sight on a row of bushes/trees.

4. Run into a building with a large entrance or with multiple entrances and leave them behind while sprinting out the opposite door.

5. Wait for the person with the bison or mp5sd to do their job

6. Wait for the person using stanag sd ammo to do their job

7. Not even notice it until I get knocked down with a broken bone because I've got tunnel vision 800m down range on some fool running across an airstrip in broad daylight.

Zombies are like moskitos. As threatening and as challenging. Would you use a gun at a moskito? Just lose it, it's really easy to do.
