It’s interesting how late in the game few things can really harm you except yourself.
After weeks of impunity against monsters, I set a web on fire, and misjudging how fast the fire would spread, stepped on a flaming web tile and was set aflame. That almost got me, but just a day later I had fully recovered.
What did me in was simply taking a turn too fast in my truck. The gas tank hit a house’s wall and exploded, and I and all my possessions were instantly obliterated.
Similarly, my self-destructing survivor was decked out in awesome armour and a two-season survivor. My bad.
Its a pain, we begin to think we are god, that we will live forever but eventually we all die by our hand or our enemy’s
Btw Fuel Tanks Outside Bad Idea
Tank drones can kill anyone, no matter how established.
I want to get myself an apc with the 120mm cannon on it, Maybe allow us to control it. Please Devs
Tried the bad day start. Opened the front door straight into a check point, chicken walker blasted me the next turn. Ouch.
Driving along in armoured car mowing down zombies.
Enter new town.
Mow down more zombies.
See a zombie I’ve never seen before.
Inspect it.
“Dancing Zombie” or something similar, with lyrics from Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”.
Laughed.
Ran it over.
Drove a little more.
Found more Dancer Zombies.
Found even more forming around a “Thriller Zombie” with more lyrics from the song.
Laughed again.
Rammed car in to them all.
The Thriller Zombie died, but all the remaining “Dancing Zombies” turned in to Zombie Hulks for some reason.
Car surrounded by Hulks.
Car smashed to pieces in mere moments.
My face followed a similar fate.
I stopped laughing.
HAHAH THAT’S THE JOKE YOU SKRUB HAHAHHA
Ahem
Don’t try that again.
No need to call me a skrub, not my fault I’m still learning. </3
Thankfully that wasn’t my main character or my main world, or I’d have rage quit… Again… xD
I got a friendly NPC buddy, noticed he had a flamethrower, and immediately told him to not use it. We run into a house, I check the basement, and find myself surrounded by black widows. So, I run back up the stairs, screaming and covered in webs. So, one spider is just behind me, I’m right next to the NPC, and I tell him to use the flamethower. He does.
I didn’t die then, actually. We both ran, smoking and in pain, across the street to the sporting goods store. While I’m browsing the shelves, a couple zombies bust in through the window. The NPC is still trigger happy and manages to set the door side wall on fire. I barely make it across the room before the roof comes down on my head.
My decently skilled character was minding his own business out in the wilderness untill he came upon a random road where was greeted and immidiately vaporized by a tankbot at the edge of sight range. Since I couldn’t act to save myself I took it as a sign from the great lord RNGesus that my character had been found unworthy. I was a little sad.
Is there a way to change the weapon NPCs are wielding? One of mine had a machete and no ranged weapon. Usually, that’s a good thing, but when you’re counting on your buddy to slow down a shocker brute so you have time to get a rifle from the Quad, it just doesn’t work. I got fried to a crisp while my buddy got away mostly unharmed. I know; I ran into him again and got sliced in half.
P.S.
They don’t wield stuff you give them, either.

I think it’s a thing where they somehow decide what’s the “better” weapon. AI is a lovely thing.

Thanks. Now I just need to find a nonmetal weapon that Ron “Noise” Haikin will like better than his machete. Or maybe I’ll just end up killing him.
Lucky. I have never even seen a Thriller. I have almost 20,000 kills, I spend most of my time traveling, and my character has lived in two worlds. I am so unlucky.

Are you planning to do a H-90?
wazzat
Like the J-9 but surrounded by 90 hulks instead
Because that’s a within-reasonable-odds outcome of killing a Thriller.
But red leather jacket and jeans, and all that.
I was chilling in my evac shelter learning how to cook when a centipede (and about 10 other swamp mobs) broke through the window and mauled me and some infected dude. Welp.
