unconsciousobjector 69 Posted July 30, 2012 Me and two friends were out foraging and arrived in a town (can't spell it) just a bit south of the NW Airfield. Starts with a Z, you know the town. We enter the store, grab some grub when my bud decide to pop a Zed. Big mistake. 97 Zeds later we clear a hole big enough to exit the store and break for the hills after losing the Zeds in the buildings.Never have I seen so many Zeds. The more we killed, the more they kept coming. While fun, it we hadn't had so much ammo we wouldn't have made it out.Fun time but, a bit overkill, pardon the pun.

Bottlerocket 205 Posted July 30, 2012 If you're going to go all out and start blasting away with heavy weapons, you're just going to attract more and more zeds.I was in the same store and aggored a few today. I back off, switched to my handgun and headshot them as they came in one by one. Six dead zeds later I ghosted out of there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pwnage13371 147 Posted July 30, 2012 I used my mk 48 on about 20 zombies at the airfield. Bad idea. The amount of them just kept doubling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) It's because their hearing has been tweaked in the new update. I like it. It's made life a bit harder. Before i could pretty much run around towns looting, if I aggro'd a Zed or 2 I could just run into a house, shoot them and then carry on. Now, If you use a loud weapon you'll just keep attracting more Zeds, it means we have to plan things again. Try and get yourself a silenced M9 or stick with an axe when in a small town looting.

kentk94 194 Posted July 30, 2012 I love it when that happens. I seriously wish it would happen more. Like all the infected in one area just slowly turn and head towards the sound. This is why I enjoy running through town full sprint. I enjoy gathering up large packs of infected and trying to make it out alive. Running into other survivors that are also shooting at me makes it even more fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheMedic 58 Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) Not only has Rocket increased their hearing but the spawn rate this is ridiculous now. I was in a similar situation, albeit in a bar, where at least 12 zeds entered that barn, more than should have been possible based on number to buildings in the area (i.e. two buildings so 6 zeds max). I think the spawn time needs to be toned down. No complaints on the tweak to the hearing, just a small gripe about spawn time.
