How did you last die?

last time i died, was some sort of graboid monster ive never seen before, it had nearly killed me before i even realized i was being attacked

Having forgotten how ridiculously low the grenades’ damage radius I was trying to get to a safe distance from a bear, but it was quicker.

Then in a new game I picked up a martial artist and had her kill things following from the back of a bike I found, but eventually she died, when she was on foot, I killed the remaining zombies, then found 2 zombie dogs. I was cycling circles, throwing stuff at them, managed to kill one, but the other killed me.

Walking down a street, trying to clear out the area so I can loot unhindered. I had a rifle and a decent amount of ammo, so opposition was low save for the occasional smoker or shocker zombie throwing me off. I walk past a small alley and a Hulk rushes me and starts pounding me before I can get a good shot on him. Dead.

I started a hobo character, with all kinds of relevant traits, got hallucination and alcohol deprivation in a few minutes, he didn’t last long.

The first encounter was with a smoker zombie. He managed to slip me a couple of hits but I got out of it mostly unscathed. However I managed to cough myself into the grave, despite getting away from the smoke.

Darn. My gramps always said smoking kills, but this is ridiculous.

After a short but painful fight with zombies I managed to burn them all but one. As we already were far from the town, I decided to practice my skills in firearms using BB gun i had. Ufortunately, I didn’t notice a bear in the forest. Auto-aim targeted it instead of the zobmie. I became dead shortly, bear was happy, and that damn zombie was lucky.

Ran over a Triffid Queen with my truck, got out, stark naked, it being in the middle of the summer, butchered the corpse, and decided to pick up all the lovely vegetable matter that dropped (first time I saw it, figured I’d do some vegetarian cooking). A spider appears and I’m dead before I’m done picking the loot up.

So remember, kids, vegetarianism kills.

I lived for 2+weeks the longest I’ve ever made it. But idk I decided to to explore the Military Outpost with just a broadsword effectivly commiting suicide by fire squad

NamelessHero · 2013-08-02T00:32:01.000Z

On a melee character who got a broadsword and was doing fairly well, also hadn’t healed recently defeated a large horde of normal zombies, only to be felled by a moose on the way to his motorbike. A majority of my deaths recently have been because of those god damned moose.

While trying to lure a brute into my trap garden, I trapped myself…

naraceaus · 2013-08-02T03:23:52.000Z

My character was getting tired so I decided to sleep in gas station located in the middle of nowhere. After waking up saw an ant outside; my character was hungry so I killed it with my spear, butchered it then started a fire to cook the meat. Halfway through cooking all of the pieces my character suddenly exploded? Turns out lighting a fire next to a pump station is not the smartest thing one can do.

I even new that pump stations exploded, my mind just went into autopilot mode while I was cooking.

Tried to poke tankbot to death with the rapier, wearing only tuxedo, dress shoes, monocle and tophat.
Actually, I succeeded due to inf@ckingsanely high dodge skill, but I forgot about the explosion.
Well, at least I died smokin’ hot and classy.

That needs to go on the challenge list.

Nobility - Spawn rapier, tuxedo, dress shoes, monocle and tophat. Wear nothing else, use no other weapon, for the entire game.

be me, 14 ingame days, pretty buff
riding along the road on my deathcar after a sweet looting run
goes right through an ant hill

sees dead scientists, loads of CBMs
Gets off the car to pick 'em up
When suddenly, wild soldier ants surround me
Bye Jonathan Reed.

Where did you find a Tankbot?

fatkat61 · 2013-08-04T17:39:18.000Z

I created a crossdressing prostitute guy. He was going through withdraws sooo bad. I was dismantling windows and looting houses when in one house when I went to leave there were 4 zombies that just raped him. it was horrible. He had no chance as I was stupid and forgot to get him a weapon.

[quote=“SuicideRey, post:240, topic:339”]I was in the swamps when I suddenly got sucked down into a small cave thing… Committed suicide after checking every corner for an exit…

Yeah, sinkholes are no fun, and are a common theme in swamps.

Swamps are just a big no-no in general.[/quote]
I don’t know about swamp mechanics on classic zombies, I don’t think I ever encountered any giant mosquitoes so far? So I don’t find them so bad. (yet!?)

Oh and:

DG123 · 2013-08-19T13:51:18.000Z

My last death was by being attacked by a group of zombies while also being tazered by a police bot. I have no idea why I died so easily.

I had JUST survived an epic 170 zombie battle involving me running and climbing over fences while frantically reloading my Redhawk. If I hadn’t died I would have probably had a super high firearms skill not to mention all the stuff they dropped.

What about the walking cane? For shame.

The usual. 3D FPS never crosses hands with RL. That’s why you, boy, need kevlars and AP bullet-stuffed guns for turrets, and not a crowbar.
…or the game was just taking revenge on me for butchering 500+ zombie students.
