How did you last die?

Beaten to death by a copbot after killing another one with a MORNINGSTAR.

Roaming turret after the manhack made me really slow through damage/pain. Killed the Secubot a while earlier and assumed something like that was going to happen, but theyā€™re pretty aggressive.

Coughed to death. =I

Couldnā€™t believe it. Got into a tangle with a smoker and a horde, got out of it alive, only to cough to death. Was really unimpressed. >=I

did about 200 units of cocaine in a missle silo.

Dont do 200 units of cocaine

bleeding out and poisoned after a spider attack I decided to use drugs (which I rarely do) to go on a meth fueled trucker rampage with a fully fueled rigā€¦glorious explosions as my character lost control and hit the gas pumps at a station, surrounded by the undead.

I had no shirt, wearing a hat, torn jeans and flip flops, smoking cigs like they were going out of style. good way to die.

Forgot to put on safemode and was mauled by bear. I had a good base and everything :frowning:

Character was a couple of days old, trudging around the wilderness in search of a lab or LMOE shelter.
Game decides to throw some acid rain at me, with the only shelter in sight being a lonely cave. Having never explored a cave before I thought 'Whatā€™s the worst that could happen", so I head inside.
A couple of tiles later, oh look a rat, kill itā€¦ Oh, another couple of rats, he mustā€™ve had a famil- Oh godā€¦

Needless to say, my entire screen was covered in rats with re-enforcements replacing any that I killed.
It was a slow death.

Note to self: picking the locks of the doors of a bank IS considering robbing attempt, even if youā€™re successful.
Also: donā€™t ever try again to train your shotgun skill by using birdshot against robots.

I created a mechanic with the intention of making him a Mad Max of New England. Sadly, I wasnā€™t lucky at all and didnā€™t find any vehicle NOR gas pump. So, I had to create my own Bicycle Of Death. It consisted of two motorbike wheels, a central frame where all the stuff was, a box, and one blade in front of each wheel. I called it ā€œStilettoā€. Curiously enough, I was able to get that baby up to 32km/h. Thatā€™s almost double the speed of my last bike. Iā€™m not sure what changed other than one more point to strength. If so, strength of 10 is required to push a bike to top speed.

Highlights:

[ul][li] First town: FUNGAL SPIRE. I move NE to stay as far away as possible. As soon as I equip myself with the bare minimum I start exploring.[/li]
[li] Event! Sandworms follow me for what seems hours. I decide to kill a couple. I keep moving, still being followed. After a while I manage to miss them.[/li]
[li] Event! Dead soldiers. Good gear and some ammo. A shimmering portal is besides it. Somehow I get to loot all I want without problems. Thereā€™s blank bodies in the horizon.[/li]
[li] New home: MANSION. I became a cultivated survivor thanks to the extensive libraries found here.[/li]
[li] Exploring. Town found at half a day walk. Found garage. Started building a bike, as thereā€™s no gas stations here either. Pingponging between mansion and garage.[/li]
[li] Event!: The cobweb area I burned happened to have a hole on the ground. I circle around it and fall in a hidden pit. The big spider waiting for me below had the knife and the fork ready. I served him an excellent dish of WRENCH TO THE MOUTH.[/li]
[li] I use the bike to start hauling all the stuff from the mansion to the garage, which I plan to make my new home while I keep working on this crapbike.[/li]
[li] Event!: Although I had it marked and had circumvented it several times I ended up driving over a trapped area in the middle of the road. Had to walk all the way down to get another motorbike wheel. Proceeded to disarm all the traps for good.[/li]
[li] Working on the final version of the bike. I put a blade in front of the front wheel and another behind the back wheel. I name the bike ā€œStilettoā€. Exploring the new town. Scavenging. Etc. Almost dying over and over again for overreaching and greediness.[/li]
[li] Event!: I decide to make a friend, so I prepare some dog food and give it to the first I come by. He starts to zap around killing anything that moves. I go inside to keep doing my stuff. I wake up to a terrible sight. My dog was killed by one of my (crowded) spiked pits. Rest in peace, ermā€¦ dog.[/li]
[li] Town almost clear. Exploration of the remaining areas. Zombie population low now. Lots of spiders. Particularly widow ones. I can safely say that this town is now minā€¦[/li]
[li] The Mall. This surely will have lots of stā€“OH-MY-GOD.[/li]
[li] I keep scavenging. Lots of gear. Lots of guns and ammo. Lots of water and food. Iā€™m ready for winter.[/li]
[li] I decide to replace my baseball helmet with an army one that I hope to find in the only Military surplus store I havenā€™t checked yet. I decide to mix that activity with my purpose on training shotguns by using the numerous birdshot ammo I have acquired. I give some dog food to another dog.[/li]
[li] Oh, look, a bank. Iā€™ll go check inside with my superhacking powers once I open this dā€¦[/li]
[li] Hah, eyebots and a copbot. Iā€™ve blown up dozens of those already with just a 9mm.[/li]
[li] Hmm, thatā€™s a lot of copbots.[/li]
[li]Ouch! Could you guys please stop zapp*[/li][/ul]

He died with a short barrel shotgun, leather gear and boots on.

His dog died just a few turns earlier.

Opiate withdrawal caused me to burn more then a weeks worth of supplies in about 16 hours and then eventually committed suicide after my coughs brought the hoard.

Had a character that I was growing bored with because his high level archery was allowing him to clear entire hordes of zombies unscathed and trivializing survival. I was considering 'ciding him and resetting the world to try something new, but I wanted to get him bionicā€™d up and at least see how ridiculous he could truly become. I had a good car, customized for maximum zombie crushing, and after a fun little zombie-squashing joyride, I took it to a garage to fix it up. I found a beaten-up but functioning car already in there, and hopped in to move it out of the way. As I was coming out, I somehow bumped the mechanical winch at a few miles per hourā€¦ and everything exploded. I survived the initial explosion, but died on the outermost tile of fire.

I guess I get to try something new sooner than I thought.

well i have a guy with the gene buff found a sewage dump and decided it would be a good idea to roll around in it for a few hours i belive i got a mutation which gave me health as im radioactive and a few others i kept walking after spending a night and found some dead guy who had like 5 mutagens which i ate i got a radioactive emiting mutation which worked well with my health one and the one that gives constant mutations so i then invaded a lab got a ton of bionics walked into a room and got one shotted by a turretā€¦ i was upset

Iā€™m pretty new at this, and had managed to actually get my first successful character going. Initially thought it was going to be bad when i realized Iā€™d started in the same shelter as a previous character, who had already looted everything good from the nearby townā€™s outskirts and then died when I accidentally got caught in a fire Iā€™d set to try to cover my escape from a zombie horde int he town center (so looting their corpse was out of the question). So I set off in a random direction, and got lucky by running into a farmhouse. Of course, that farmhouse somehow had over a dozen zombies in it, but also a flatbed truck parked out front, so I got in that and ran down the whole horde. Spent a while out there in the wilderness using the farmhouse as a base, training up my survival and archery skills. Raided a lab after finding some dead scientists and managed to successfully install a few cybernetics too. Eventually, I decided to try my luck at clearing out another nearby town for other supplies, using the truck for storage and for a quick escape if I needed it.

That went perfectly well, and between that and hunting Iā€™d racked up over 500 kills total by the end (didnā€™t think to screenshot it like Iā€™ve seen a few people do here). High archery skill and a nearly limitless supply of arrows made killing most zombies trivial, even in hordes. Had just finished looting a gun shop and was on my way to dump the loot in my truckā€™s trunk when out of nowhere I get jumped by a black widow. Never having fought one before (I always stayed far away when i saw them), I didnā€™t know what the best way to deal with it was. I had royal jelly, though, so I figured Iā€™d try killing it and take that afterwards for the poison. What I didnā€™t expect was to literally die in seconds, a few rounds after it first hit me (from the poison, I assume, since all my body parts had at least ** left in health), not ever having managed to hit it. At least thereā€™s a ton of good stuff and a functional truck sitting in the middle of a nearly empty city, aside from the black widow (and I still have no idea where it even came from, hadnā€™t seen it at all while clearing the city), for another survivor to pick up.

Iā€™ll just take this as a lesson to not mess with black widows.

My last character, Lily Flores, was the only really successful character Iā€™ve ever played. She literally cobbled together a chopper ā€œtruckā€ in her hometown out of smashed lockers, batteries and a cannibalized motorcycle chassis. By the end it had a 5L V6, eight same-sized wheels and about a dozen trunks full of guns, crafting bits, tools and comestibles. On a drug binge, she managed to successfully install Enhanced membanks, an internal engine (thus developing a ravenous appetite for logs) and nearly twenty power storage modules. She amassed roughly 1300 kills in her career; about a third impaling critters on her spike-encrusted grill, about two thirds putting wooden arrows through skulls. She survived repeated bear maulings, a landmine, a graboid, copbotsā€¦

In mid-autumn, she inadvertently drove over some young triffids. Noticing the plentiful new spawns, she managed to escape a few miles down the road with only broken windshields. There, defenses down, planning her next move while idly staring at the map, she spotted an engine lying on the road. She slowed and got out to retrieve it, like she had done many times before. Except this time, she didnā€™t notice that her mad max ride was still in motion. Fearing an imminent explosion, Lily panicked and scrambled to get back to the driverā€™s seat - just as the unruly beast coasted forward, and Lily was dragged under three consecutive wheels. Rest in peace, Lily Flores.

The next character? Bolted directly toward the nearest parking lot, found a semi, immediately lost control and died in an explosion without even getting the thing to budge. RIP, whoever you were. :frowning:

I just managed to exit a moving vehicle it seems. I was pretty sure it was not moving. Regardless, my bionic loaded killing machine had become rather boring to play.

I dismounted a moving bicycle at 0 mph with full health. Died instantly

I know how you feel man.

Stepped out of a quadbike that was driving 0/16 KM/h, got flung over the bridge and drowned. sob

Yes, there seems to be something wrong going on there. I always wait one more turn after stopping before getting out, or use the handbrake instead (s), which seems to not trigger this bug.

I got to ballsy and I went into town and I got ambushed by a spitter and a shreikerā€¦

I spawned in a shelter in the middle of a bunch of swamps, got the NPC to follow me outside, armed myself and him with crowbars after tearing apart the basement for everything, and died from a giant mosquito. I love this game, and hate my spawns.

getting confident in my archer build, roaming the town, murdering hoards of zombies from windows when I hear a ā€˜CRASHā€™ from the eastā€¦few turns later another ā€˜CRASHā€™ and a hulk is using me for a punching bagā€¦got a little too cocky I guess.
