How did you last die?

For example: My last death was quite accidental. Being that I died from a grenade I activated in my shelter while trying to turn on my flashlight to read. :frowning:

Fell through a hole in a cave and ended up in never ending sewers. Where I died to a fish. Found plenty of drugs though.

Tried knifing a hulk with a combat knife(which I am wont to do!) on a window before realizing I was in red everywhere and still wielding a pot.

I was feeling tactical with my mutated assault freak wielding a silenced Scar-L and some plasma-o-bob rifle. Decided to investigate where those fungle thingies came from.

200 rounds and 400 ish plasma later i died trying to melee my way out of an ocean of fungle monstersā€¦

Starve? Itā€™s usually pretty easy to get food though. Now water is a different story

Child zombies trapped me in a building

Yes fungle creatures are very bad for your health.

Whilst picking squirrels from the barbe- Erm, harvesting food in the farm that my previous char called home at night, I saw a yellow ? a few tiles away from me. I turned on the flashlight. It was a bear looking for delicious human meat, which quickly prompted me to quietly tiptoe back to the house.

I also left all of my weapons in the main farm house, and I like to think the bear said ā€œRESISTANCE IS FUTILE! YOUR HOUSE IS DON BEARā€™S NOW!ā€ before reaching me in a few turns maximum and tearing me limb from limb.

My last encounter with a bear ended in me dying due to me only having a .22 and being blind as a fucking bat.

Moral of the story: Bears are assholes.

My last character was the first to make it to day 3. And being so proud of my achievement I wanted to celebrate in the morning, next I awoke to a noise at the door. It happened to.my friend the bear who also came to congratulate me. What. Thought was a hand shake was a swipe the end my life.

Damn bearsā€¦

Found plenty of loot, a M4A1, installed a CBM with a 30% chance sucessfully (because fuck you :)), got a motercycle and went to a military bunker to set up a base.
After I placed my items on the ground I decided to investigate the area around me.

Then I saw some fungal zombies chasing me. They became more and more and I used 39 rounds and a grenade to kill a few of them.
Now with only a bullet left I knew I couldnā€™t decimate them all and that my base is lost.
But instead of going back and hauling the items back into my vehicle I just killed myself.
Yeah, Iā€™m that lazy.

Had an archer with no skills in melee, found some personā€™s dog and she trained me in mechanics (Coulda choose ā€˜toad styleā€™ too apparently) and eventually after getting attacked by her own dog (with no repercussions on any of them) she joined me, only to be killed by shriekers and skeletons. I ran away, found a cabin, and attempted to disarm a crossbow trap since I had no weapon, and was already level 3 in mechanics from books.
I wasnā€™t able to disarm the trap.
However, I dodged the crossbow, and my character (probably with a raging action boner) picked up the crossbow and ran into the cabin.
I lived there for a while, occasionally exploring, rarely even killing anything, got some food from a crate, found a water purifier, and just chilled out reading books. I found some mutagen which gave me fast healing, bug eyes, and ugliness, which is lucky because I walked into a landmine, and healed back to full hp in a night.
Sadly though, I entered a cave, ran from sewer rats, and with the ALERT off I didnā€™t see the bear that was just as fast as me and ripped my head off.
Longest character Iā€™ve had so far though, about 4-5 days.

My last death was to a bloody piece of glass of all things, my torso was very low and I climbed through a broken window that I just smashedā€¦

You guys will keep falling to bears and hulks until you learn pretty simple thingy - ALWAYS keep your rifle with you and loaded. No exceptions. A bear wont stand a chance to a burst of .223, or a couple of long-range head-shots. Assault rifle and a silencer is a MUST in these fun times. Just donā€™t use it to shoot damn squirrels, thatā€™s what rocks are for.

Why would you carry a 12-20 volume rifle with you, when you can carry a 2 volume heavy pistol? Just one or two close range headshots from a Ruger Redhawk or USP .45 can take down a bear easily, and a Hulk only takes a couple more than that.
