Feign Death

[Flacidman 5]

Whadda ya think? Just roll over and fake being dead/unconcious. It may not fool a sharp player but could provide a way to survive situations you might normaly not make it out of. Doesnt work on z's of coarse, but in the heat of the moment a player may over look you if he/she knows there are others around or didnt have time to check the chatlog. Survived one encounter with bandits because I fell unconcious (low blood) near a few other dead survivors and they just passed right over me, chasing after another player that was making a run for it.

Anyway, just throwing it out there, maybe something to concider for the standalone.

I liked the idea before. And I still like the idea. It'd be better when the debug monitor is gone, of course, but yeah...so many times all I've wanted to do is keep my head down.

Could one still search your body for items while you're playing dead? lol Would they be able to check your pulse?

[E-Z 25]

the body pulse should be there when you look at them, so if they just run past they may overlook you. but if they stop and look., they will here your heart

The ability to play dead! A very effective strategy, using the animation of a dead person to fool bandits, but maybe not zeds..

Feigning death is a nice idea and the ability to 'check pulse' would be a nice counter to it. Would be even better of there was no 'x was killed' message or murders stat.

Also, remember that dead bodies create clouds of flies. If you saw a dead body with no flies, that person would probably not really be dead.

Play the sound of flies through direct comms while doing this and the effect will be complete.

Also other players would have to have access to your inventory while doing this, or you're just not faking it hard enough.

Feigning death: See other dead survivor, or even the corpse of a Zed. Spot other bandit coming towards you. Quickly hide go prone over the corpse and don't move a muscle. Bandit won't see you until it's too late. :murder:
