Move like a Zombie and blend in

[freeman83 51]

My suggestion is...... if Survivors could temporarily switch to the Zombie animations, it could be used to fool the prying eyes of a Sniper Bandit when crossing an open space or high risk area. The way i imagine this working is that the Zombies will still be able to detect you by smell, so as to not make it too easy. Additionally a zombie disguise/skin could also be useful but it's probably better and more challenging with just the animations.

I would still shoot you

This suggeston has already been made, but it would only help you in crowed zombie city. A bandit must be more than stupid if he sees a player walking like a zombie in the middle of nowhere, simply cause zombies don´t spawn in the middle of nowehere ;)

the idea sounds funny but i don´t think it would work as great as in the shawn of the dead movie.^^

Snipers would probably still detect you easily, just look for the guy with a backpack and you can identify survivor skin easily. A skin and the animation might work too well (if the backpack isn't visible). I would rather sprint over the field isntead of letting the sniper figure out im not a zombie (which probably wont take too long).

well i guess if you want the disguise to work, you can remove your backpack and travel light, and perhaps only use it near other zombies. difficult but challenging. Everything is a compromise, you can either sprint across a high risk area like an erection on legs or you can use this method which has it's own risks and compromises.

i saw the post regarding zombie repellant, but nothing on animations. maybe i missed it sorry.

or you simply turn around, stand still on the wooden beam, cut yourself with your huge knife and fight against a Predator.

this would work well with the suggestion of Z packs wildly roaming the countryside..
