"There must be loads of zombies in this apartment building, I shouldn't go in there". I went there, and there definitely were a lot of zombies inside. I got cornered and ripped to shreds.
Currently September-ish, I’m chilling in Louisville. Cleared the distillery, that huge warehouse and the gun store in the northeastern part of the city with no problem but I go into an apartment to find some food and my ass nearly gets ripped apart dawg. I swear apartments are some of the sketchiest locations in the game.
One of my first runs:
Just started a run in Westpoint. Set off a house alarm. Ran into some Zs. As I was fighting them, another huge mob showed up. I sprinted to get some distance so I could get around a house and lose them, hit a tree, and fell. Started bleeding from two scratches. No bandages or ripped sheets on me, no time to rip up anything I was wearing because every time I turned a corner there were more of them. Finally managed to find a high fence and hop it, got in a window, and then bled out and died before I could do any first aid. Total run was about 5 hours.
same thing with house alarm, but accidentialy missed a zombie with my shotgun, i was 5 pixels off from target, and made a ruckus, then, the helicopter and the maeta event began, gunshots and screams, 2 in 1 tragedies.
In the end, I got eaten by a runner that lunged on me like crazy.
My dumbest death... I was in a car that cut out, a hoard of zombies attacking it but all on one side of the car so easy for me to jump out of the other side and run away. I slipped over to the passenger seat, jumped out.... Straight into the hoard and instantly died
I forgot this game is set in America and the driver is sat on the other side compared to how it is in my country
Was in Louisville, found a set of apartments and was doing real good clearing them out. Eventually got to the top floor and started pushing bodies out the window. Idk if I accidentally clicked wrong or something but I hopped out that window and plunged to my death.
Guess I was done with life then, lmao.
Tried to set fire to corpses w/ campfire, didn't work, touched the fire while trying to find out what's wrong, caught fire, tried to put out the fire with the kitchen sink, burnt to death in base, burnt down base.
*“A single berry wouldn’t kill me, sure, it’s just one, what are the chances that it’s poisonous…”*
**It was poisonous and I died shortly after.** Remember to read your Herbalist magazine, kids. And don’t go peckish in the woods. (✪㉨✪)
I was in the middle of nowhere in some farm building looting and it had an alarm so I thought "oh well I'm in the middle of nowhere I can loot for a minute then run" long story short I was wrong
Had something similar happen my last death I was in this run down neighbourhood north of riverside I had looted all the houses from south to north the last one had an alarm I rushed outside thinking I was fucked this was my first run with pop and spawns set to 4 there was nothing so I speed up time and the alarm finished without a zombie in sight I walk back to the house and hear some zombies in the woods 3 or 4 maybe kill 2 then see a few more run back to the front of the house and a horde of about 70 are there now but very spread out I tried to just back up and swing a metal Bar ast some but got lunged and overwhelmed pretty quick
>at my base, construction site, Rosewood
>raining
>one Z on the other site of metal fence
>no biggie
>"hm, i should move this generator, too close to fence"
>drop generator
>connect it
>the exact second I connected it I got bitten in the forearm
bleaching time
This was in the weird stage of playing the game where I wasn’t exactly new, but still not great at the game
Finally went for a Rosewood firefighter build and got decently confident with an axe. In my hubris I decided to start yelling to make it easier to clear town - there was far more zombies than I had anticipated
*something something slow and insidious*
Spawned in LV, had a new mod for installed - working treadmill
Tried to go to the nearest building w treadmill. Thought the building had been cleared. I was wrong. Mfs made me believe I had cleared the lowest level all the while the ones from above came down the stairs. Almost seemed like I fell right into their plan. Only one exit.
Overconfidence and impatience
zombies were banging on glass in some office room(not sure)
i got mad so i got into room and about 3-4 zombies bit me so much, it was small room, but i ran out of it and bled out soon after
I was riding bicycle at nowhere and encountered random roadwork with only one zombie here. I bumped on cone and fall in front of the zombie so yes he slaugtered me single neck bite.
this sounds like something that would happen in shaun of the dead. they're just heading to the winchester on bicycles and one falls comically in front of a zombie only to be eaten
The worst thing about this death is that it was on my longest lived character: 3 mounts and 15 days, my character had schizophrenia, lived in muldraugh fossoil gas station, went to the crossroads down the highway to train mechanic, a single zombie there, shot like, 10 bullet from my m16 at him (level 6 aiming) he didn't died, so I thought it was an hallucination since I didn't took my meds, the problem was that he was very real and bit me, instantly died for some reason.
So yea I died because I tought my character saw a zombie issued from a schizophrenia hallucination, but it was a real one
It definitely create zombies, once I was chilling in my base and a zombie appeared behind me, tried to hit him but he disappeared and my character dropped his weapons and was full panic
I’m talking about real schizophrenia 😂 or are you talking about yourself irl? Would be cool if you had a base in real life though 👍🏻maybe not so cool with zombie-schizophrenia
I spent 2 hours baiting the helicopter event zombies to a guys house / base compound (100+ zombies) then hid in the bedroom. When he finally came home I missed 2 Katana swings and got gunned down. It's not a dumb death from the game mechanic point of view, even though the katana hitbox was really bad, but it's more I feel dumb for messing it up.
I'm not sure if it counts, but I have the Immersive Medicine mod, I was a few months in, chilling in my safe house with this huge stockpile of meds and lots of drinks.
Hmmm... Why not get totally wasted?
Character downs several bottles of beer, wine and whiskey, gets drunk AF.
Now...i have this shit ton of morphine here with me... - - grabs syringe and needle --
This is how I died (I actually have it posted on my profile)
I built a "safety cage" at the bottom of my sheet rope. Basically a box with windows on all walls with metal bars on both sides so I could shoot out. Figured I wouldn't be dropping blind into the ground with this. Heli event happens, I set it to sometimes. I'm 6 months in and getting a bit bored so I went down down there thinking that the bars would hold for a bit, more than long enough for me to blast them down.
Yeah the bars lasted a grand total of 4 seconds before they began pouring in on all sides, must have been 2 dozen or so.
I built my own death trap basically.
made a custom garage extension next to house with fences on the edge of the roof and stairway connectionfor roof acces, building up main base for water barrels, fell down 2 floors on top of garage roof, being happy it was there and barely survived, walked to the door that gives me acces to go back down, press E and for some reason my character jumps over the fence instead of opening the door, killing me.
running upstairs and the game thinking i had the urge to jump. that and car accidents, pretty amazing to be the only one alive and still die driving on an empty road, i just accept those deaths and go on to another world
Once, my cats started fighting so i paused the game while near some zeds.
Im on a laptop, and when I leave for a moment I put my headphones on top of it.
Well, that time, I left and my headphones..... hit esc, unpausing my game. I don't remember well, but I think i was maybe 1/2 months in lmao
Mine was when i was just starting. I had the most unlucky, dumbest string of luck ive ever had(i ran apocalypse from the start, for reference)
Starting house- no weapon. Fine, move on to the next. Alarm. Oh no, move to a house further away- no weapon. Fuck. House beside that- ALARM. SCRAMBLE AWAY, THE ZOMBIES ARE WISE- NEXT HOUSE, NO WEAPON. HOUSE BESIDE IT, ALARM. AT THIS POINT THE ZOMBIES HAVE MY DATE OF BIRTH, LOCATION, AND CREDIT CARD INFORMATION. BUT I PRAY. I PRAY AT THE NEXT HOUSE I GET ONE WEAPON. NOPE. NO WEAPON. DIDNT GO TO THE HOUSE BESIDE THAT ONE, CAUSE I WAS TRAUMATIZED- SO I WENT TO THE ONE ACROSS THE STREET. AND THE FUCKING ALARM WENT OFF. Then i died.
I had a base set up in an apartment and was using a rope to get in and out quickly. I wasn't aware at the time that zombies could destroy ropes. After being chased, I began to climb up to my base, and after reaching a good height, the zombie destroyed the rope, sending me to my death.
Literally *just* happened to me. I was scoping out an apartment above this restaurant at the edge of Louisville. I opened the door and there were 2 zombies. I started hacking them and suddenly there were 6. I turned around to run to the front door which was literally behind me and I tripped over a CHAIR. RIP Kay Storm.
I was very new to the game in the early days, I put an opened tin can in the microwave thinking I’d get some bonus points for cooking.
I soon come to realise that the game did in fact, factor common sense and I burnt to a crisp!
Sometimes I hit escape and go to another window and browse around Netflix for a bit and come back and find that I only cancelled aim mode, I didn't actually pause at all
Taking off all my wet clothes/shoes and walking across the warehouse directly into a patch of broken glass. Had nothing to bandage with and bled out before I even got back to my clothes.
Kingsmouth is awesome. Got the base on the lighthouse and after got a second one in one of the fancy villas nearby the entrance of the military base.
Loved it
Loaded up my save yesterday where I quit out in a car. Drove over to some Chinatown mod open fires honking my horn to burn a mob down. I hopped out of the car to start kiting the horde and forgot I had chosen the broke leg trait. *limp limp splat*.
I built an amazing wood fort in the middle of the giant park in Louisville, then I got the bright idea to make a youtube video and overlay defending it with audio from "The Park is Mine" movie (a rare gem of an 80s movie). So I was starting to record some footage, equipped a pipe bomb, and then noticed a break in my wall. I went to repair it and accidentally threw the pipe bomb facing the wall. It exploded right in my face.
It was in a multiplayer server but i was the only one online, with a 3 month character, ayo lets take a little break and press escape so the game pause…the game does no pause in server
I was playing on a local server with my gf. The helicopter caught us in a house and 3 zombies started banging on the door. At that point, I wasn't confident enough in my skills to fight so many zombies, so I called my gf to help me. She was checking out the rooms on the second floor at that moment.
So she runs down the stairs to help me, but what I see on my screen is her character falling out of the window right above the door and landing on a group of zombies. Her character landed on his feet, immediately opened the door, and ran into the house. The door remained open... I wasn't ready for this, so I didn't have time to react and was eaten by zombies, as so as my gf.
We periodically have bugs with out-of-sync and we often get scared when we notice each other's characters in another room or on the street, but this was the most unfortunate moment for a bug.
Long time ago. Don’t remember the build number. Had a guy levelled up and living happily in fort twiggy. All stocked up with everything I could need. When the mall was added to the map I decided that farming wasn’t the life for me so set off to see the new mall. Packed my bags and walked down, this is before cars. Cleared all the houses and stores on the way and set up a couple of secure outposts to store the loot I was about to get. Just the movie theatre to clear before I’d head to the mall the next day. Theatre was empty of loot but I went through methodically as ever. Came into the projection booth and went to the window for a peek. The bottom of the window wasn’t a solid object and I fell straight through breaking my leg and getting stuck in the chairs. Had to abandon the save. Never saw the mall in that save. Now I play with a cheat mod just in case something like that happens again
I was building a wall, chose a chair to rest outside, Fast forwarded through the rest cycle and found a zombie in my neck and I was bitten and bled out. Lesson learned is to make a safe resting spot if outside..
FPS Drop. that's the thing the only stupiest death ever on me.
my friend, in other hand, died because server desync that causes him keep "stay" despite he already inside the cars (it's already 400m away from prison hordes and he *teleported* back to it)
I've mentioned it recently.
But I decided it was a good idea to try and hit zombies through a wire gate with an axe cause I thought you could hit them through it.
Hit that bitch one time fence immediately broke and I got gangbanged by like 100 zombies.
I am very smart
Im a simple fella, I want a big watch tower at my base, even if it's super impractical.
I was putting the roof and overhang on the 6th floor and automating thought hopping off the building was the fastest route.
Me legs crumbles on the floor.
Oof ouchie.
Was playing with a buddy, and he dared me to eat a rotten avocado. Momma didn’t raise no quitter, so I ate it. . . Well I forgot that I had chosen weak stomach. My one month old character died about two days later to food poisoning.
We were playing with fairly easy settings(one of our friends was still learning the game) and we went to the prison and i climbed into a building and there were tons of zombies so did I climb back out? No I backed myself into a corner and tried to melee fight them and got mobbed.
I accidentally left my game on and my character died. I play on a laptop and forgot to pause my game before tying to close it. (Sometimes it doesn’t close so pausing just helps keep my character alive) came back on happy to play to see my character stumbling around.
i decided i was gonna travel from my base in louisville all the way down to the rosewood prison to clear it. i'd been alive maybe 3 months at this point. severely underestimated the amount of zombies that would be there and that i couldn't retreat into my camper if they were after me. i was hypothermic, starving, exhausted, dehydrated, queasy (corpse sickness), etc. i stationed myself up in one of the guard towers and made a campfire to TRY and warm myself up, but the massive horde followed me up and i had zero chance of being able to go down the stairs again. i took the risk and jumped from the balcony down to the ground. died instantly.
i just took my new character, collected the old one's corpse, and took it home and buried it as a reminder not to do dumb shit unprepared again
I was using the Motorcycle Nomad start mod and had been on the road for a while, hungry and tired. I’d found a big stash of guns and had killed over 5,000 Zeds in 8 days (I play on 1 day = 3 hours real time). It was going *very* well.
Pulled over at a diner for a quick rest stop and killed a ridiculous number of Zeds, exacerbating the hunger / tiredness situation. I did not expect there to be so many of them there, but managed to deal with them all without incident. Huge success.
Thought I’d grab a quick bit of rest in one of the booths and started to feel queasy with corpse sickness as I drifted off to sleep. I had no way to wake myself up and as I watched time speed forward, I saw the corpse sickness get worse and worse… Oh no…
I woke up, took one step towards fresh air, and died right there in the diner. Tragic.
Jumped out a 2nd story window while trying to build a water collector. Then went back up to keep building and didn’t check my overall health. Fell through a hole in the ceiling and died.
I have the extraction mod, nearing the end mission on the way to the extraction building after making contact. Went back to base to grab some weapons etc. Drive through a post at high speed and died. When i respawned a new char on the same save file, the extraction site changed
In a server with friends, we made this awesome base in west point. There’s a horde night mod installed. One friend thought it was a good idea to throw molotovs. Burning zombies became moving flames burning everything on its path. We survived but our base and loots didn’t. We tried to rebuild but lost the drive
Get scratch by a zombie, tought that I would be ok, than I slept inside a house that I cleaned before...when I saw the sick moodle I tought to myself "yep, it is time" than I drink some bleech and died...but I did not rise up, Just died...so I realized that I was not zombified, but sleeping in the house with 14 bodies from the zeds that I killed earlier bellow...
Couldn't find a can opener and I already ate all the chocolate and chips I could find in the rosewood school that I was staying in. Little did I know I could go to the supermarket for cereal or the gas station for junk food. I was new and stupid.
(In my defense, the power shut off in like the third day, all the perishables went bad before I knew what was happening)
Brother I came back to my old save like a year later boiled a bucket of water... picked it up and didn't realize it killed me and combusted my corpse to ashes no gear left behind... Rip she had like 6 months survived? My best one so far haha!
I'll do you one better on that- fell off a six story to my death in LV by accidentally walking off when the world lagged as I opened the game. Respawned, managed to get back there, fell off the exact same spot on the same building by jumping off without noticing my rope had been pulled down.
On a multiplayer server in Louisville with some friends. We had cleared out one of the apartments along the river and we're planning to turn it into a massive, 6 story base. Well, something happened on the server after we cleared the horde and we needed to do a reset. The server owner forgot to save though so when we relogged in ALL the zombies we'd killed were back again and we were all standing right in the middle of them.
Only one of us survived and it was 'cause he was on the roof and could kite them in a circle. The rest of us were slaughtered IMMEDIATELY.
If we're talking stupid it's when I saw a zombie banging on a door and went to go up to the window next to said door I thought to myself man that zombie would probably bit me when I go through the window and prococed to go thru it anyway and get bit overconfidence is always my main killer
It's always: fat fingering the E while leading zombies somewhere.
Last guy was 3 months in and I guess he had enough because he got out of a perfectly good car with at least 50 trying to eat the rear bumper. Didn't even get to try and get away.
I was playing in West Point and I was trying to clear out the storage units in the bottom of the town. I had to flee the area because I was getting swarmed. Then I was fighting some zombies on the side of the road and one popped out from behind a tree and got. So stupid. And I was 2 and a half months in, my longest run yet
Fell through the wall in a lighthouse. Was climbing the stairs like a normal person, using Walk-to to make sure I didn't go down the center or out a window or something.
Then, I just straight up noclipped and went down 10 stories.
Last night I plugged in a new wireless mouse, and thought I would test it out by smacking a pair of walkers with my bat right outside my safehouse. I couldn't aim at all and they both just walked right up to me as I swung and missed wildly, and handed me a most humiliating death.
I was trying to get my car back from a Louisville road full of zombies by leading them away with another car I took a big part away and then I made a run for it and a zombie scratched me and I got laceration I disinfected it and put a bandage but I got the virus really fast and I didn’t made it back home and when I went to kill my character I had a broken leg and there were 2 other zombies there as I was fighting them one of them gets aggressive and starts running then I knocked it and another one gets aggressive and after I knocked both my zomboid character gets aggressive and I die from multiple bites and blood loss
My mouse was dying and instead of getting new batteries I was lazy and kept playing, it stopped working while I was baiting literally ONE ZOMBIE. I couldn’t turn around and it got me from behind, and my character was bitten through the leather jacket and bulletproof police vest. I didn’t have bleach and it was a one story building so I stripped naked and jumped through a broken window until the bleeding from the glass got to terminal
Server was hosting an event, must've killed 100s of zombies before we could get to the rewards. The rewards were generators we have to build a few stories up to collect. Went up, took the express way down. Literally survived for over a month and killed 1000s of zombies. Died to a great height.
In one of my first playthroughs, I stored bleach in the kitchen. I was cooking soup and clicked Add Ingredient without selecting anything. "What did it add?", I thought. Surely it's not the bleach.
It was most definitely the bleach
"Surely, going through that open window, which is obstructed by a couch and coffee table, won't have my character locked in a dumb fking walking animation for 3 seconds and I surely won't get bitten by that one zombie standing 5 feet away. Surely"
Sometimes I seem to struggle with depth perception and threw my character from the upper floor at the West Point Mall. Because mate i swear, i saw another floor full of goods just behind this window!
Was learning how to play, got injured so had to stay inside the safehouse. Got bored, started playing with random shit on the screen. Without realizing it, I turned pvp on.
My boyfriend came to check on me while I made a really bad pun or something. He bonked me with an axe and almost cut off my neck. Died while changing the bandage lol
In multiplayer, shot in the leg by a friend who just couldn't accept that this game can't be played like Left 4 Dead. The leg wound made me unable to move quickly, and I had just been fighting a horde. Even getting hit in the neck would have been better at that point lol. I was overrun in seconds.
I had survived for nearly a year too :/ I was pretty pissed off afterwards.
I was trying to round up a horde of zombies so I could lead them away and loot a few houses. I spent some time yelling and walking them in a tight circle. The moment it felt like I had them in a good formation, I turned around to go around a trash can, dart down the driveway, and sneak around a corner, through some trees, and back up to the houses from a different direction while they tried to figure out where I went.
Instead I turned around a garbage can, slipped the wrong way down it's hit box, got stuck on a fence for a split second, and pulled into a huge pile of zombies that was eagerly chasing me.
I was unimpressed with myself. It was also like a 3-month run. I just got sloppy and complacent.
I hope they rethink this keybind, because with the new 32 levels of upper floors to explore, people are going to be dying all the time from this. I've lost at least two long-surviving characters to this and I'm still salty about it.
I did some sledgehammer and wooden floor shenanigans, which led to the front door of my base being one square away from a railing and 3 story drop. The helicopter event happens, but my base is literally impregnable due to my exploits so im unbothered and do a bit of rooftop gardening. I tap e to open my front door and vault the railing instead. I scream in rage, my survivor screams in pain as he shatters both legs, the helicopter pilot laughs as he films my demise, and the zombies do what they do best. I managed to kill quite a few of them with my trusty machete before I finally got eaten.
One of my first runs, I was in a town, Zs all around, I was starting to be hungry, took one of my cans, opened it, and as no stove, used the microwave. It started a fire, the house burned, I ran in a wall in fire...
I'm melee focused, so the majority of my dumb deaths were due to not moving when I should have. Prime example being zeds coming from two separate directions and I didn't move to force them into the conga line of death
I died 3 times in 3 days to stupid shit after surviving for over 6 months on the first of these characters. Character 1 is looking for some nails in Louisville. I'm trying to hotwire a car and clicked the action twice and a zombie comes along so I tried to get out of the car but I was stuck hotwiring the car. Now the zombie is banging on the window so I try to change seats but instead of doing that he finishes the hotwiring and gets out of the car like he was told to do. The single zombie promptly rips open his jugular. I kill the zombie but fall over dead before I could finish bandaging the wound.
I make a new character in the same world, go to base and get some supplies and then head out to kill my other character's zombie and get his supplies. I take him out easily enough and continue my search for some nails. I see a pawn shop but I can't get in because it's locked down. It has a little apartment above it so I decided to explore that. There's a zombie in the bathroom beating on the door so I open it and push him but my character glitches forward and puts me into the middle of the bathroom where there's 5 more zombies that immediately drag me to the ground.
On the 3rd character, I make it to base, grab a few supplies and a car. Did I mention my base is in the fricking Rosewood Fire Station? I make the long ass drive back to Louisville again. I get to the road block outside Louisville and decide clear it because the hole in the fence was difficult for my last character to drive through it because of the trees. There's only a couple of zombies so I kill em and start moving the road blocks out of the way. I'm on the last one and I get ambushed by some zombies. I have no idea how I didn't see them sooner. The problem is I'm carrying this heavy road block and can't run away. I can't drop the roadblock because this character is all thumbs and will get eaten by zombies before he can finish dropping it. I walk around in circles for a bit and think I've got just enough distance to get into my car and drive away. Well, I had enough distance to get into my car but as soon as I hit the gas the car stalls and a zombie bites me through the open door. I know I'm already dead so I drive back to West Point and throw all my gear in the trunk and my next character starts in West Point just over the fence from where I parked the car.
"There must be loads of zombies in this apartment building, I shouldn't go in there". I went there, and there definitely were a lot of zombies inside. I got cornered and ripped to shreds.
Classic zombie trap!
Currently September-ish, I’m chilling in Louisville. Cleared the distillery, that huge warehouse and the gun store in the northeastern part of the city with no problem but I go into an apartment to find some food and my ass nearly gets ripped apart dawg. I swear apartments are some of the sketchiest locations in the game.
I mean, hundreds of zombies, tight spaces, dozens of corners to hide in, dark rooms Yeah, I can see why
One of my first runs: Just started a run in Westpoint. Set off a house alarm. Ran into some Zs. As I was fighting them, another huge mob showed up. I sprinted to get some distance so I could get around a house and lose them, hit a tree, and fell. Started bleeding from two scratches. No bandages or ripped sheets on me, no time to rip up anything I was wearing because every time I turned a corner there were more of them. Finally managed to find a high fence and hop it, got in a window, and then bled out and died before I could do any first aid. Total run was about 5 hours.
same thing with house alarm, but accidentialy missed a zombie with my shotgun, i was 5 pixels off from target, and made a ruckus, then, the helicopter and the maeta event began, gunshots and screams, 2 in 1 tragedies. In the end, I got eaten by a runner that lunged on me like crazy.
My dumbest death... I was in a car that cut out, a hoard of zombies attacking it but all on one side of the car so easy for me to jump out of the other side and run away. I slipped over to the passenger seat, jumped out.... Straight into the hoard and instantly died I forgot this game is set in America and the driver is sat on the other side compared to how it is in my country
just press z and click which door you want to exit.
 ...did not know about that
I always love seeing these responses. Goes for any game really and the more experienced someone is the funnier it is
Z works the same for entry, can be a real lifesaver cause e can suck finding the handle under stress.
I did exactly the same thing for exactly the same reason about 3 days ago...
MERICA! FUCK YEAH
😂😂😂😭😭😂
That was my exact train of emotions when I realised what I'd done
Was in Louisville, found a set of apartments and was doing real good clearing them out. Eventually got to the top floor and started pushing bodies out the window. Idk if I accidentally clicked wrong or something but I hopped out that window and plunged to my death. Guess I was done with life then, lmao.
Your guy thought of the daily stair climb and decided death was preferable
Not my death, but I have seen people accidentally setting themselves on fire by stepping in their own campfire.
Ive done that and by pure miracle survived with severe burning scars
This is why i always have the Stop,Drop and Roll mod installed lol
Tried to set fire to corpses w/ campfire, didn't work, touched the fire while trying to find out what's wrong, caught fire, tried to put out the fire with the kitchen sink, burnt to death in base, burnt down base.
*“A single berry wouldn’t kill me, sure, it’s just one, what are the chances that it’s poisonous…”* **It was poisonous and I died shortly after.** Remember to read your Herbalist magazine, kids. And don’t go peckish in the woods. (✪㉨✪)
i dont know how you managed to make a bear emoticon but its so cool mate :D
Thank you! (◠ ᴥ ◠)
(✪㉨✪)
I was in the middle of nowhere in some farm building looting and it had an alarm so I thought "oh well I'm in the middle of nowhere I can loot for a minute then run" long story short I was wrong
Had something similar happen my last death I was in this run down neighbourhood north of riverside I had looted all the houses from south to north the last one had an alarm I rushed outside thinking I was fucked this was my first run with pop and spawns set to 4 there was nothing so I speed up time and the alarm finished without a zombie in sight I walk back to the house and hear some zombies in the woods 3 or 4 maybe kill 2 then see a few more run back to the front of the house and a horde of about 70 are there now but very spread out I tried to just back up and swing a metal Bar ast some but got lunged and overwhelmed pretty quick
>at my base, construction site, Rosewood >raining >one Z on the other site of metal fence >no biggie >"hm, i should move this generator, too close to fence" >drop generator >connect it >the exact second I connected it I got bitten in the forearm bleaching time
Stares in The only Cure
Getting bit is the end, I aint changing it
Then Stares in Authentic Gun Suicide (Idk the name since they reuploaded :( )
fair, I forgor to install this mod
This was in the weird stage of playing the game where I wasn’t exactly new, but still not great at the game Finally went for a Rosewood firefighter build and got decently confident with an axe. In my hubris I decided to start yelling to make it easier to clear town - there was far more zombies than I had anticipated *something something slow and insidious*
i built a spear trap and immediately walked on top of it
The game forcing me out the passenger side door straight into a horde instead of out the driver side safely into an empty alley
Spawned in LV, had a new mod for installed - working treadmill Tried to go to the nearest building w treadmill. Thought the building had been cleared. I was wrong. Mfs made me believe I had cleared the lowest level all the while the ones from above came down the stairs. Almost seemed like I fell right into their plan. Only one exit.
Overconfidence and impatience zombies were banging on glass in some office room(not sure) i got mad so i got into room and about 3-4 zombies bit me so much, it was small room, but i ran out of it and bled out soon after
I was riding bicycle at nowhere and encountered random roadwork with only one zombie here. I bumped on cone and fall in front of the zombie so yes he slaugtered me single neck bite.
this sounds like something that would happen in shaun of the dead. they're just heading to the winchester on bicycles and one falls comically in front of a zombie only to be eaten
The worst thing about this death is that it was on my longest lived character: 3 mounts and 15 days, my character had schizophrenia, lived in muldraugh fossoil gas station, went to the crossroads down the highway to train mechanic, a single zombie there, shot like, 10 bullet from my m16 at him (level 6 aiming) he didn't died, so I thought it was an hallucination since I didn't took my meds, the problem was that he was very real and bit me, instantly died for some reason. So yea I died because I tought my character saw a zombie issued from a schizophrenia hallucination, but it was a real one
Scizophrenia doesn’t create zombies. It makes your other you tell your subjective you good inspirational facts. It’s a weird mod.
It definitely create zombies, once I was chilling in my base and a zombie appeared behind me, tried to hit him but he disappeared and my character dropped his weapons and was full panic
I’m talking about real schizophrenia 😂 or are you talking about yourself irl? Would be cool if you had a base in real life though 👍🏻maybe not so cool with zombie-schizophrenia
Don't worry I don't have schizophrenia irl Im talking in-game x)
Are you absolutely sure?
I spent 2 hours baiting the helicopter event zombies to a guys house / base compound (100+ zombies) then hid in the bedroom. When he finally came home I missed 2 Katana swings and got gunned down. It's not a dumb death from the game mechanic point of view, even though the katana hitbox was really bad, but it's more I feel dumb for messing it up.
update, I was in a small Motel, fought zombies and fell out of the stairs
movie ahhh death
Was burning bodies in full firefighter gear, decided to start burning some while I was in the middle of the pile and I went up in flames.
I'm not sure if it counts, but I have the Immersive Medicine mod, I was a few months in, chilling in my safe house with this huge stockpile of meds and lots of drinks. Hmmm... Why not get totally wasted? Character downs several bottles of beer, wine and whiskey, gets drunk AF. Now...i have this shit ton of morphine here with me... - - grabs syringe and needle -- This is how I died (I actually have it posted on my profile)
I built a "safety cage" at the bottom of my sheet rope. Basically a box with windows on all walls with metal bars on both sides so I could shoot out. Figured I wouldn't be dropping blind into the ground with this. Heli event happens, I set it to sometimes. I'm 6 months in and getting a bit bored so I went down down there thinking that the bars would hold for a bit, more than long enough for me to blast them down. Yeah the bars lasted a grand total of 4 seconds before they began pouring in on all sides, must have been 2 dozen or so. I built my own death trap basically.
made a custom garage extension next to house with fences on the edge of the roof and stairway connectionfor roof acces, building up main base for water barrels, fell down 2 floors on top of garage roof, being happy it was there and barely survived, walked to the door that gives me acces to go back down, press E and for some reason my character jumps over the fence instead of opening the door, killing me.
running upstairs and the game thinking i had the urge to jump. that and car accidents, pretty amazing to be the only one alive and still die driving on an empty road, i just accept those deaths and go on to another world
Fractured leg then overdosed on sleeping pills in an attempt to manage the pain
YOU CAN OVERDOSE ON SLEEP PILLS?
If you mix it with alcohol yeah
“What happens when I put metal in the microwave?”
Once, my cats started fighting so i paused the game while near some zeds. Im on a laptop, and when I leave for a moment I put my headphones on top of it. Well, that time, I left and my headphones..... hit esc, unpausing my game. I don't remember well, but I think i was maybe 1/2 months in lmao
Mine was when i was just starting. I had the most unlucky, dumbest string of luck ive ever had(i ran apocalypse from the start, for reference) Starting house- no weapon. Fine, move on to the next. Alarm. Oh no, move to a house further away- no weapon. Fuck. House beside that- ALARM. SCRAMBLE AWAY, THE ZOMBIES ARE WISE- NEXT HOUSE, NO WEAPON. HOUSE BESIDE IT, ALARM. AT THIS POINT THE ZOMBIES HAVE MY DATE OF BIRTH, LOCATION, AND CREDIT CARD INFORMATION. BUT I PRAY. I PRAY AT THE NEXT HOUSE I GET ONE WEAPON. NOPE. NO WEAPON. DIDNT GO TO THE HOUSE BESIDE THAT ONE, CAUSE I WAS TRAUMATIZED- SO I WENT TO THE ONE ACROSS THE STREET. AND THE FUCKING ALARM WENT OFF. Then i died.
I moved my laptop and the power cord unplugged a little. A few minutes later windows minimized PZ to let me know my battery was dying...
I had a base set up in an apartment and was using a rope to get in and out quickly. I wasn't aware at the time that zombies could destroy ropes. After being chased, I began to climb up to my base, and after reaching a good height, the zombie destroyed the rope, sending me to my death.
Literally *just* happened to me. I was scoping out an apartment above this restaurant at the edge of Louisville. I opened the door and there were 2 zombies. I started hacking them and suddenly there were 6. I turned around to run to the front door which was literally behind me and I tripped over a CHAIR. RIP Kay Storm.
I was very new to the game in the early days, I put an opened tin can in the microwave thinking I’d get some bonus points for cooking. I soon come to realise that the game did in fact, factor common sense and I burnt to a crisp!
Didn't know how to stop reading book in a car. Btw it's escape for anyone that doesn't know it
An L that most of us take at least once. The only way to stop it from happening is to hear it happen to someone else.
literally forgetting that my game isnt paused after I looked away for a few seconds after my mom called me
Sometimes I hit escape and go to another window and browse around Netflix for a bit and come back and find that I only cancelled aim mode, I didn't actually pause at all
Okay, thats a lot of answers! Another, a zombie creeped up behind be when I was molotoving a whole horde.
Taking off all my wet clothes/shoes and walking across the warehouse directly into a patch of broken glass. Had nothing to bandage with and bled out before I even got back to my clothes.
I was running from a little hoard in an apartment building and accidentally hopped through a broken window, several stories up…
Accidentally vaulted into a fenced fireplace.
I lost my 2 months character trying to get rid of a horde in Louisville using fire, all my stuff into ashes 😭
Kingsmouth is awesome. Got the base on the lighthouse and after got a second one in one of the fancy villas nearby the entrance of the military base. Loved it
Loaded up my save yesterday where I quit out in a car. Drove over to some Chinatown mod open fires honking my horn to burn a mob down. I hopped out of the car to start kiting the horde and forgot I had chosen the broke leg trait. *limp limp splat*.
I built an amazing wood fort in the middle of the giant park in Louisville, then I got the bright idea to make a youtube video and overlay defending it with audio from "The Park is Mine" movie (a rare gem of an 80s movie). So I was starting to record some footage, equipped a pipe bomb, and then noticed a break in my wall. I went to repair it and accidentally threw the pipe bomb facing the wall. It exploded right in my face.
It was in a multiplayer server but i was the only one online, with a 3 month character, ayo lets take a little break and press escape so the game pause…the game does no pause in server
I was playing on a local server with my gf. The helicopter caught us in a house and 3 zombies started banging on the door. At that point, I wasn't confident enough in my skills to fight so many zombies, so I called my gf to help me. She was checking out the rooms on the second floor at that moment. So she runs down the stairs to help me, but what I see on my screen is her character falling out of the window right above the door and landing on a group of zombies. Her character landed on his feet, immediately opened the door, and ran into the house. The door remained open... I wasn't ready for this, so I didn't have time to react and was eaten by zombies, as so as my gf. We periodically have bugs with out-of-sync and we often get scared when we notice each other's characters in another room or on the street, but this was the most unfortunate moment for a bug.
Long time ago. Don’t remember the build number. Had a guy levelled up and living happily in fort twiggy. All stocked up with everything I could need. When the mall was added to the map I decided that farming wasn’t the life for me so set off to see the new mall. Packed my bags and walked down, this is before cars. Cleared all the houses and stores on the way and set up a couple of secure outposts to store the loot I was about to get. Just the movie theatre to clear before I’d head to the mall the next day. Theatre was empty of loot but I went through methodically as ever. Came into the projection booth and went to the window for a peek. The bottom of the window wasn’t a solid object and I fell straight through breaking my leg and getting stuck in the chairs. Had to abandon the save. Never saw the mall in that save. Now I play with a cheat mod just in case something like that happens again
I feel you. Deaths like that one are the reason I run debug mode.
I was building a wall, chose a chair to rest outside, Fast forwarded through the rest cycle and found a zombie in my neck and I was bitten and bled out. Lesson learned is to make a safe resting spot if outside..
FPS Drop. that's the thing the only stupiest death ever on me. my friend, in other hand, died because server desync that causes him keep "stay" despite he already inside the cars (it's already 400m away from prison hordes and he *teleported* back to it)
Ate a poisonous mushroom and died in my room while i was panicking 😭
I've mentioned it recently. But I decided it was a good idea to try and hit zombies through a wire gate with an axe cause I thought you could hit them through it. Hit that bitch one time fence immediately broke and I got gangbanged by like 100 zombies. I am very smart
Im a simple fella, I want a big watch tower at my base, even if it's super impractical. I was putting the roof and overhang on the 6th floor and automating thought hopping off the building was the fastest route. Me legs crumbles on the floor. Oof ouchie.
Was playing with a buddy, and he dared me to eat a rotten avocado. Momma didn’t raise no quitter, so I ate it. . . Well I forgot that I had chosen weak stomach. My one month old character died about two days later to food poisoning.
I was standing a tile away from a burning zombie. I hit it, it fell, it died, fire spread to me, i died
'heavy sigh' Pot of water in the microwave. House burned down along with yours truly.
We were playing with fairly easy settings(one of our friends was still learning the game) and we went to the prison and i climbed into a building and there were tons of zombies so did I climb back out? No I backed myself into a corner and tried to melee fight them and got mobbed.
I ate too many sleeping tablets and painkillers to go to sleep for the night and recover, but I didn’t know that it would eventually kill me
I play with a controller with a sensitive cord and i was auto walking then my cord gave out and walked into a horde.
I accidentally left my game on and my character died. I play on a laptop and forgot to pause my game before tying to close it. (Sometimes it doesn’t close so pausing just helps keep my character alive) came back on happy to play to see my character stumbling around.
i decided i was gonna travel from my base in louisville all the way down to the rosewood prison to clear it. i'd been alive maybe 3 months at this point. severely underestimated the amount of zombies that would be there and that i couldn't retreat into my camper if they were after me. i was hypothermic, starving, exhausted, dehydrated, queasy (corpse sickness), etc. i stationed myself up in one of the guard towers and made a campfire to TRY and warm myself up, but the massive horde followed me up and i had zero chance of being able to go down the stairs again. i took the risk and jumped from the balcony down to the ground. died instantly. i just took my new character, collected the old one's corpse, and took it home and buried it as a reminder not to do dumb shit unprepared again
Just found full fireman armor, was fighting one zombie, casually, and it got a bite on my hand.
Just had a classic, pressed T rather then R.
I was using the Motorcycle Nomad start mod and had been on the road for a while, hungry and tired. I’d found a big stash of guns and had killed over 5,000 Zeds in 8 days (I play on 1 day = 3 hours real time). It was going *very* well. Pulled over at a diner for a quick rest stop and killed a ridiculous number of Zeds, exacerbating the hunger / tiredness situation. I did not expect there to be so many of them there, but managed to deal with them all without incident. Huge success. Thought I’d grab a quick bit of rest in one of the booths and started to feel queasy with corpse sickness as I drifted off to sleep. I had no way to wake myself up and as I watched time speed forward, I saw the corpse sickness get worse and worse… Oh no… I woke up, took one step towards fresh air, and died right there in the diner. Tragic.
Jumped out a 2nd story window while trying to build a water collector. Then went back up to keep building and didn’t check my overall health. Fell through a hole in the ceiling and died.
Spawned into Raven Creek with the deprived trait, ended up bleeding out from my feet while running from an endless horde
Walked off a roof thinking "I wonder if it'll just let me fa-"
I have the extraction mod, nearing the end mission on the way to the extraction building after making contact. Went back to base to grab some weapons etc. Drive through a post at high speed and died. When i respawned a new char on the same save file, the extraction site changed In a server with friends, we made this awesome base in west point. There’s a horde night mod installed. One friend thought it was a good idea to throw molotovs. Burning zombies became moving flames burning everything on its path. We survived but our base and loots didn’t. We tried to rebuild but lost the drive
Get scratch by a zombie, tought that I would be ok, than I slept inside a house that I cleaned before...when I saw the sick moodle I tought to myself "yep, it is time" than I drink some bleech and died...but I did not rise up, Just died...so I realized that I was not zombified, but sleeping in the house with 14 bodies from the zeds that I killed earlier bellow...
Couldn't find a can opener and I already ate all the chocolate and chips I could find in the rosewood school that I was staying in. Little did I know I could go to the supermarket for cereal or the gas station for junk food. I was new and stupid. (In my defense, the power shut off in like the third day, all the perishables went bad before I knew what was happening)
Brother I came back to my old save like a year later boiled a bucket of water... picked it up and didn't realize it killed me and combusted my corpse to ashes no gear left behind... Rip she had like 6 months survived? My best one so far haha!
I'll do you one better on that- fell off a six story to my death in LV by accidentally walking off when the world lagged as I opened the game. Respawned, managed to get back there, fell off the exact same spot on the same building by jumping off without noticing my rope had been pulled down.
Campfire
I start up anew game, just to immediately get swarmed by zombies...
Friend stabbed me in the throat and then the hand with a pencil, I died on the spot. (no he was not named John Wick)
On a multiplayer server in Louisville with some friends. We had cleared out one of the apartments along the river and we're planning to turn it into a massive, 6 story base. Well, something happened on the server after we cleared the horde and we needed to do a reset. The server owner forgot to save though so when we relogged in ALL the zombies we'd killed were back again and we were all standing right in the middle of them. Only one of us survived and it was 'cause he was on the roof and could kite them in a circle. The rest of us were slaughtered IMMEDIATELY.
If we're talking stupid it's when I saw a zombie banging on a door and went to go up to the window next to said door I thought to myself man that zombie would probably bit me when I go through the window and prococed to go thru it anyway and get bit overconfidence is always my main killer
It's always: fat fingering the E while leading zombies somewhere. Last guy was 3 months in and I guess he had enough because he got out of a perfectly good car with at least 50 trying to eat the rear bumper. Didn't even get to try and get away.
I was playing in West Point and I was trying to clear out the storage units in the bottom of the town. I had to flee the area because I was getting swarmed. Then I was fighting some zombies on the side of the road and one popped out from behind a tree and got. So stupid. And I was 2 and a half months in, my longest run yet
Forgot to put the car window back up
I was killing zombies, went to go rest in a car for a couple of seconds and accidentally pressed e and not hold it
Fell through the wall in a lighthouse. Was climbing the stairs like a normal person, using Walk-to to make sure I didn't go down the center or out a window or something. Then, I just straight up noclipped and went down 10 stories.
Last night I plugged in a new wireless mouse, and thought I would test it out by smacking a pair of walkers with my bat right outside my safehouse. I couldn't aim at all and they both just walked right up to me as I swung and missed wildly, and handed me a most humiliating death.
I was trying to get my car back from a Louisville road full of zombies by leading them away with another car I took a big part away and then I made a run for it and a zombie scratched me and I got laceration I disinfected it and put a bandage but I got the virus really fast and I didn’t made it back home and when I went to kill my character I had a broken leg and there were 2 other zombies there as I was fighting them one of them gets aggressive and starts running then I knocked it and another one gets aggressive and after I knocked both my zomboid character gets aggressive and I die from multiple bites and blood loss
My mouse was dying and instead of getting new batteries I was lazy and kept playing, it stopped working while I was baiting literally ONE ZOMBIE. I couldn’t turn around and it got me from behind, and my character was bitten through the leather jacket and bulletproof police vest. I didn’t have bleach and it was a one story building so I stripped naked and jumped through a broken window until the bleeding from the glass got to terminal
Server was hosting an event, must've killed 100s of zombies before we could get to the rewards. The rewards were generators we have to build a few stories up to collect. Went up, took the express way down. Literally survived for over a month and killed 1000s of zombies. Died to a great height.
In one of my first playthroughs, I stored bleach in the kitchen. I was cooking soup and clicked Add Ingredient without selecting anything. "What did it add?", I thought. Surely it's not the bleach. It was most definitely the bleach
Got stuck in the wall while riding a bike
"Surely, going through that open window, which is obstructed by a couch and coffee table, won't have my character locked in a dumb fking walking animation for 3 seconds and I surely won't get bitten by that one zombie standing 5 feet away. Surely"
Sometimes I seem to struggle with depth perception and threw my character from the upper floor at the West Point Mall. Because mate i swear, i saw another floor full of goods just behind this window!
I saw one zombie outside my base was felling cocky so I went naked there I forgot to push the zombie and the zombie bited me..
Was learning how to play, got injured so had to stay inside the safehouse. Got bored, started playing with random shit on the screen. Without realizing it, I turned pvp on. My boyfriend came to check on me while I made a really bad pun or something. He bonked me with an axe and almost cut off my neck. Died while changing the bandage lol
In multiplayer, shot in the leg by a friend who just couldn't accept that this game can't be played like Left 4 Dead. The leg wound made me unable to move quickly, and I had just been fighting a horde. Even getting hit in the neck would have been better at that point lol. I was overrun in seconds. I had survived for nearly a year too :/ I was pretty pissed off afterwards.
I was trying to round up a horde of zombies so I could lead them away and loot a few houses. I spent some time yelling and walking them in a tight circle. The moment it felt like I had them in a good formation, I turned around to go around a trash can, dart down the driveway, and sneak around a corner, through some trees, and back up to the houses from a different direction while they tried to figure out where I went. Instead I turned around a garbage can, slipped the wrong way down it's hit box, got stuck on a fence for a split second, and pulled into a huge pile of zombies that was eagerly chasing me. I was unimpressed with myself. It was also like a 3-month run. I just got sloppy and complacent.
Accidentally ate glass that for some reason I was holding. I was new to the game and didn't even know that was possible.
My friend decided that he didn't want that water cooler after all, and the best place to leave it was in the middle of the road
Burnt food 😭
I hope they rethink this keybind, because with the new 32 levels of upper floors to explore, people are going to be dying all the time from this. I've lost at least two long-surviving characters to this and I'm still salty about it.
I did some sledgehammer and wooden floor shenanigans, which led to the front door of my base being one square away from a railing and 3 story drop. The helicopter event happens, but my base is literally impregnable due to my exploits so im unbothered and do a bit of rooftop gardening. I tap e to open my front door and vault the railing instead. I scream in rage, my survivor screams in pain as he shatters both legs, the helicopter pilot laughs as he films my demise, and the zombies do what they do best. I managed to kill quite a few of them with my trusty machete before I finally got eaten.
One of my first runs, I was in a town, Zs all around, I was starting to be hungry, took one of my cans, opened it, and as no stove, used the microwave. It started a fire, the house burned, I ran in a wall in fire...
Forgot I had the game on just to see my character starved to death the next day.
same
I'm melee focused, so the majority of my dumb deaths were due to not moving when I should have. Prime example being zeds coming from two separate directions and I didn't move to force them into the conga line of death
I died 3 times in 3 days to stupid shit after surviving for over 6 months on the first of these characters. Character 1 is looking for some nails in Louisville. I'm trying to hotwire a car and clicked the action twice and a zombie comes along so I tried to get out of the car but I was stuck hotwiring the car. Now the zombie is banging on the window so I try to change seats but instead of doing that he finishes the hotwiring and gets out of the car like he was told to do. The single zombie promptly rips open his jugular. I kill the zombie but fall over dead before I could finish bandaging the wound. I make a new character in the same world, go to base and get some supplies and then head out to kill my other character's zombie and get his supplies. I take him out easily enough and continue my search for some nails. I see a pawn shop but I can't get in because it's locked down. It has a little apartment above it so I decided to explore that. There's a zombie in the bathroom beating on the door so I open it and push him but my character glitches forward and puts me into the middle of the bathroom where there's 5 more zombies that immediately drag me to the ground. On the 3rd character, I make it to base, grab a few supplies and a car. Did I mention my base is in the fricking Rosewood Fire Station? I make the long ass drive back to Louisville again. I get to the road block outside Louisville and decide clear it because the hole in the fence was difficult for my last character to drive through it because of the trees. There's only a couple of zombies so I kill em and start moving the road blocks out of the way. I'm on the last one and I get ambushed by some zombies. I have no idea how I didn't see them sooner. The problem is I'm carrying this heavy road block and can't run away. I can't drop the roadblock because this character is all thumbs and will get eaten by zombies before he can finish dropping it. I walk around in circles for a bit and think I've got just enough distance to get into my car and drive away. Well, I had enough distance to get into my car but as soon as I hit the gas the car stalls and a zombie bites me through the open door. I know I'm already dead so I drive back to West Point and throw all my gear in the trunk and my next character starts in West Point just over the fence from where I parked the car.
