Dead Zeds

[walrus2517 27]

I'm sure this has been asked before but I couldn't find any results searching the forum or using google...

How long do dead bodies, both zombie and player, stick around? Every time I wonder across a trail of dead zeds it would be nice to know what the time limit is on how long ago the slaughter happened. Thanks for any help.

If it looks anything like this run and dont look back????

Not a 100% sure on the time think the devs changed it, but if theres dead Zs then theres survivors/bandits in the area.

So best thing is scan for about 5 mins....

Don't hold me to this, but I think it's 15 minutes. I try to skedaddle from the location if I see dead zombies.

I'm pretty sure it's 15 minutes for zombies, but player corpses stick around for much longer.

Thanks for the info everyone. I always avoid massacre sites myself but it's still nice to know a time frame in which it happened.

Best way to figure it out:

Kill one then stay near the dead body and see when it disappears.
