Three things kill me the most.

1. Since I’m trying to beat the Tweaker profession. Withdrawal kills me most. Technically, whatever eats me when I start seizing in my own vomit does. But, yeah, withdrawal.

2. Quit: I do it if I somehow get a magical character born into the best case scenario apocalypse ever. If I can’t track down a challenge soon enough I just Q.

3. Moose. Fuck you moose.  
I’ve been making a damned PBJ and a moose has approached and slaughtered me.  
I’ve woken up in my makeshift car fort with a moose tracking me.  
I’ve been running from a hoard when I ran into a moose. I took my chances with the hoard.  
An NPC attacked a moose with a pointed stick. The moose killed him and two others. He glared at me, wondering how much blood I could loose. I took my chances with the hoard.

If they make a Zoose they sure as hell better make it optional. Those things are evil.

There are already Zoose. I go Mad Max on their asses and bring a sawn-off.

Wildlife and bleeding are my two biggest culprits. Usually they come together.

My own stupidity, usually.  
Clumsy use of explosives (activate a grenade, then throw the other grenade… D’oh), picking up or dropping giant piles of things near enemies, wielding the wrong weapon and trying to beat a hulk to death with an empty can, drinking the wrong things, using the wrong hotkey to repeat a particular command and smoking up a pile of drugs and painkillers at the same time (instead of eating a pile of bones to power my Metabolic Interchange), etcetera.

When it comes to enemy action I’d have to say that, indirectly, welding things kills me the most, when you spend ~160 hours a week building a vehicle you should make absolutely certain you aren’t wearing ear plugs or goggles, or else you may not notice the zombear or zoose spending an hour (or several) ripping its way through your heavily armored vehicle chassis.

Either my stupidity or my impatence get me killed. To be specific, I tend to get into more fights than I can handle, thinking everything will turn out just fine and then get mangled by a brute (ha! I didn’t even survive until the hulk.)

What’s everyone’s problem with moose?  
I just use a Wood Spear. Block and Rapid Strike.

My most recent killer was a window.

… yeah?

So a combination of taking stupid chances and an overly agressive play style is what kills me the most. Interestingly, I have never actually fought moose without me being the one to initiate combat

I normally find a group of dead scientists and labs close to each other, so mutations technically kill me…

Either the RNG dropping something super nasty right outside the starting shelter (jabberwock, day 1, hour 1, mihgo and a gracken on some sci corpses right at the door, hulk right infront of me on the first street all happened in my last half dozen games) or having to try and cauterize infected wounds half a dozen times and ending up with 50 speed towards the end of day 1. If I can get to day 3, pretty much the only thing that can kill one of my chars is boredom.

Generally, one of the following:

-Wielding the wrong thing. Oh look! Moose! Meeeeat!

_canbam_ _canbam_ _canbam_ _skullcrush_

-Misuse of explosives. Oooh! Rocket launcher! Oh god, a zombie two inches away from me! _BOOOOOOOOOM_  
Ooh, explosive ammo. Time to use it in close range! (I thought they just did extra damage, not that they made REAL FRICKIN’ TINY EXPLOSIONS)

-If I’m messing around nuking things with level 1000000 melee in debug, generally overdosing on drugs or healing crap kills me. Then I found out how much a first aid kit goes with 100 first aid skill. Friggin’ BAND-AIDS work like a charm with that skill.

-I’ve never starved, but I’ve (figuratively) barfed my organs out eating too much. That leads to a completely nuts food-search which leads to Death #1 (see above).

[quote=“Keyreper, post:641, topic:339”]is it just me or was the jabberwock spawn rate brought back to normal, it kinda makes me happy but then again they seem to have been buffed, being able to resist lava and fire … and what happened to fire being OP!

Seriously, there are Zooses? Damn…

I expect I’ll deal with them the same way I do when I spawn by a Hulk.
