How did you last die?

[quote=“Codeslamer, post:1169, topic:339”]If you can get it, a tin can of curry works great as a ranged weapon. Good to eat too!

Sounds awefully similar to an approach I’ve taken to dealing with spitters. Just hurl tainted meat at them till they die, god knows I have plenty of it laying about.

Last character died in a bit of an anti-climax. Dropped into a pool of lava after walking down the stairs in the starting evac shelter(was the good type, with a gas mask in one of the lockers). Well, at least the game made clear that scumsaving isn’t always scummy.[/quote]

I added a warning for those a few days ago. Consider updating.

My last death was my first ever encounter with a Tankbot, I’d heard tell of them through posts on this forum but never actually seen one spawn. The result was pretty inevitable since it was a new character wielding a baseball bat with one stick of dynamite by way of ranged combat capability. I like to think he took a good shot at it though as I died in the drivers seat of a steamroller that’d been desperately hotwired in the time it took for the hail of bullets to rip through the back of the cabin. Still I did get it moving, backwards, towards the tankbot before I actually died so hey I call that a win… though the character probably didn’t.

Decided I wanted to do the whole “Go Faster than 1000 MPH” thing. Got up to 900 MPH with my V12 Bicycle when I hit a wreck from off-screen and was propelled headlong into a horde. Got eaten while my poor fellow was busy recovering from the freezing wind and leaving most of his skull on the road behind him.

Go big or go home? Boy, what a way to go.

If you ever encounter the Thriller and its troupe of backup dancers, leave them the hell alone.

So I started a new game, got ahold of a few things and ran out of town. On the way out, I found a mansion, grabbed a proper broadsword off an armor display and cleared the mansion. All was going well when I decided I’d grab some rocks to make a fireplace in my little safe room in the mansion. I had gathered 37 rocks when the sun set, before the sun was down there was nothing nearby. The sun sets, I take ten steps towards my mansion when suddenly.

Two hits. It hit me twice and I was done. Not even a fucking antlered horror, just a regular psychopathic moose.

I don’t know if we track the monster that kills the most players like they do in some of the online roguelikes but my money is on moose and mi-go having the highest overall body counts.

Most of my deaths are me killing myself because I’m not happy with my character lol. I’d say turrets would be around 4th or 5th place, too.

Pthalocy · 2014-12-28T21:37:45.000Z

Zombie dogs and mi-go’s for thirty-seconds-into-the-game, Moose and cougars for about 3 minutes in, something weird like disarming a shotgun trap that triggers five landmines, and bad luck vomiting to death for lategame. I make many a bet.

Reading a book a bit too close to a fire and dehydrating to death

Returning from a night raid during which I took on a brute and collected a ton of useful shit. Ran into a mi-go in the darkness.

Stun-locked by a shocker while trying to leave my little shelter for the first time in far too long. I will not be trying to mycus again. XD

I used Play Now. The character seemed solid enough, didn’t even have any negative traits. I spawned in evac shelter and because it was cold (like always, for some reason) I put on the emergency blanket. I went outside to get a branch to smash the locker to make a crowbar. The NPC in my evac shelter went outside and started shooting things, and because I had my emergency blanket on it took ages to walk somewhere. My stats were 3 0 0 0 when I got back inside and I started crafting a crowbar. I didn’t have a knife to cut up fabric to make clothing so I went outside to get two rocks. The NPC was still shooting away, and every step I took he reloaded like four times. I guess it was the emergency blanket. After a few steps outside I started noticing the severe metamphetamine withdrawal my Play Now character had. It took two steps to get to -200 morale and my speed was 25. Apparently I was freezing as well, and after picking up one rock my character started seeing things. I ran into the woods because this character was obviously doomed, and died fifty meters away from the evac shelter to a deer. Or a hallucination of a deer. I’m not sure anymore.

The whole run took two minutes. NEVER put on an emergency blanket.

Found my first chicken walker and was shot to death running for the car to grab my plasma rifle; guess that’s what I get for deciding a town would be safe enough to leave my heavy ordinance behind.

I made that motorcycle thing from Dead Rising 3, It was working well until I added flamethrowers to it… Moral of the story? Don’t fight fire with fire. Fire’s untrustworthy

AllisonW · 2014-12-31T03:54:19.000Z

A Rivtech short shotgun loaded with powerful ammo is a great “oh shit” weapon, but you have to actually remember it’s there when a hacking failure spawns a secubot next to you instead of panicking and trying to use a rifle whose recoil you can’t handle at point-blank range.

You can probably guess I just learned that the hard way.

Should probably put in an override if the character’s named Jaya Ballard.
