How did you last die?

So, this was weird.I was gaining entrance to the mansion, and zombie hordes were on. so, I break this window and go through it, and suddenly, it says "You were attacked by hidden monsters (x9)!"
So I was surrounded by zombies, with no way to move. Then I had a mastermind idea, to blow up a grenade in my inventory to get free, I barely survived and escaped. Then I find a evac sheter and would you look at this, a migo. It, needless to say, shrekt me.

digitCruncher:

3 regular zombies is practically suicide, unless you start with combat skills, or can channel them so you are attacking them one at a time; and more is unbeatable unless you are using some OP martial arts.

You know what to do, you even said it. Fight them one at a time, use noise to pull individuals, use ranged attacks, stick and move, get them tangled on things to separate them from each other.

Use your advantages as a thinking person, don’t just walk up to them and start hitting.

SERIOUSLY?!

ALL I WAS DOING WAS READING. WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE. WHAT IS GOING ON. ARGH.

Goddamnit. And the shelter’s basement was loaded down with good loot too. a;lkadsgh.
Not even a warning. Just suddenly, some zombie dog bursts through the damn window. >.<
This is stupid. Going to have to turn off hordes till its less of a pointlessly idiotic waste of time to play with them.

EDIT: Oh good, even better. The ability to properly backup saves is now screwed such that items are done differently. Time to wipe the world and do it differently, ugh.

I had a lovely chat with an NPC with a flamethrower while I was raiding a house, foolishly I closed a door on him to slow him down. Protip: people can open doors WHO KNEW.

Second protip: Don’t play Cataclysm drunk or you forget this and lose a good character >.<

I managed, against all odds, to run myself over with my own steam roller.

Got cornered by two tough zombies and one brute whilst being almost dead already. Blew myself with dynamite.

Same, except It was supposed to be a friendly tank bot. IT WAS BLUE

If they all came from one direction, a good way to deal with big groups is to have as many as possible follow you inside, block them off with doors/furniture and set the building on fire.

I cleared out the entrance to a mall once with a zero skill character this way.

Alternatively, you can just patch up a huge truck and go careening through everything that is unlucky enough to be in the way.

I know that feeling, bro.
I was also killed by a tank drone…

well i only nearly died when fighting a tank drone because they use flamethower in mele and .50 bmg in close combat but i never saw a HEAT round flying at me

And that’s why you’re still alive, Arek. Eating a 120mm HEAT will ruin your whole day.

Well this was a strange one, I don’t know how its possible but it was funny as hell, I made myself a steamroller and armor plated that mother so i could plow through buildings, I fondly named her Bertha , so while armoring my baby i caught the flu. Which was slowly killing me, wish i knew drugs just made it worse. Had i know i would have used the flu shot i had, so i found the nearest hord which was congregating near my evac shelter. As i flew through the hord going 250 + due to the 3 nuclear reactors, I may have cheated some, i died from the flue, Snorting crystal meth maybe not such a good idea, So i decided to respawn and see the damage i made, I move one tile to the door only to be ran down by my very creation, Bertha

I didn’t know vehicles still run even after the player dies.

Pthalocy · 2014-10-10T16:21:59.000Z

I finally tried my first lab raid during a wee stint of time off. I failed to hack a console inside for tasty CBMs and a big fat robot plopped in to say hello.

It didn’t kill me so much as my murdering it with a rapier exploded me.
