Walk like a Zombie

[Celk11 10]

It would be awesome if you could move around like a zombie. This wouldn't make the zombies ignore you, but it will make you less noticeable by other players!

Give me your beans, cheers!! B)

I actually kind of like this idea. They can still tell you're human by non-bloody clothes and stuff, it's just harder to see it.

You sir, have my beans.

I was thinking much the same, also maybe a play dead animation for prone kinda like the drop gun works on standing and crouched to lower your gun and also takes a little time to get aim again, would be a nice way to trick those pesky bandits into thinking you are dead (if you play on a hardcore server with no death messages ofc).

How about "zombie spray".

You spray zombie pheromones (or whatever) on you to mask your scent. It lasts for 2 minutes or so, and unless you are within 3m of another zombie, you can move freely around them. Very rare spawn in Residential/Farm areas.

Or have a option to enter a mode where you can get chance to mimic a zombie by holding the forward key while walking and you move your mouse to stagger yourself around like a zombie normally would.

I would prefer to Walk Like an Egyptian

[Brint 40]

I was thinking just the same thing a little bit ago.

[LawsOfFire 21]

that should be in the game ( i think the zombie hopper animation is available to use ATM)

but another thing to add even more confusion. if a player gets killed by a zombie. a zombie will spawn with the survivor skin (or camo if the dead man wears that)

[Celk11 10]

You could also add a way do gut the zombies with a hunting knife to get some gore and then use it on yourself to disguise your scent. But this will whear off in a couple off minutes. But you have to move like a zombie when you get close to them. You could even make it so that bandits can't use these functions. As a penalty!

You should probably post this idea on the reddit suggestion thread that Rocket made. You have more chance of it being seen there I think.

Jim Bean likes this. Have his beans.

[starwarsfan@gmx.de 450]

Had the same Idea a while back, got my support just for the lulz.

Also it'd be cool if you could use blood bags to smear your clothes with blood and combined with the walking style you could prevent zombies from detecting you from afar. Kinda like in that one episode from the Walking Dead.

You forgoten talk like one

[Celk11 10]

You forgoten talk like one

Thanks for the reply and all, but that is more or less already in the game. You can use the push to talk function to imitate the zombies!

[R3cK 8]

its ridiculous imo. played "dead rising" where this feature is in and it fits into dr but not into dayz imo..

[Celk11 10]

It might not fit into DayZ at this point, but seriously, this is a good idea, especially if we get more dangerous zombies. In a game like this, you should be more afraid of the zombies than the players and still the players should be as threatening as they are at the moment. If you look at the zombies in their current state, they're just rounding marks. They are not horrifying at all.
