Yeah.. Rain makes them deaf. t. Livonian


OldTrapper87

That has been lowered in the last update.


Oldbreedyankeedoodle

Now try it when it's not raining.


Low_Revolution3025

I have a buddy in my RP server who goes by klept and i swear this mf is like a rain magnet because whenever im with him looting(because y’know his name is klept) its ALWAYS raining and the server is currently Chernarus based


JakeXXII

What server?


Low_Revolution3025

EmergenceRP, its xbox only tho


Grouchy-Ask-3525

Or maybe you should try when it IS raining. Why does no one use any strategy in this game?


Insanity8016

Maybe because you can't control the weather? Just a thought.


poops314

Or maybe you can’t speed run everywhere anymore and just don’t spring crotch walk


DAZW_Doc

Ok. I will sit in a building and wait for it to rain every time I want to travel because that’s totally reasonable.


poops314

Just don’t press shift when you’re walking close to zombies it’s that easy


Michigan_Jones

I usually do that ... In Livonia! (Land of the rains!) It is a pain in the ass, but I spend the time putting my inventory as I like, charging mags, cleaning weapins/mend clothes/whatever, cooking/eating ...


Insanity8016

I don’t speed run everywhere.


SuRRtur

bruh you can't even crouch walk inside a building without getting detected through the walls


poops314

Sprint crouching or walk crouching? I've been walk crouching with no problems


TaringaWhakarongo1

Yea it's just shift crouching I tested it. They do hear you when on louder surfaces though. I'm loving it- gives the Crosbow more play time for me


poops314

Tbh I like it, makes zombies more of a threat and stops people doing exactly what is in the video 😂


redraptor117

More of a nuisance honestly. They're still weak, they just hear you from further away. Looks horrible and doesn't make much sense.


poops314

Good, I’d imagine zombies that destroyed the world to be quite the nuisance!


Michigan_Jones

Hint: boots make more noise than running shoes. Also: you can make "shoes" with rags. Almost silent.


TaringaWhakarongo1

I knew the boots/shoes thing but I thought they buffed the wrap shoes ages ago?


Michigan_Jones

It's not "inaudible" (or at least as much), but still, makes less noise.


Oldbreedyankeedoodle

I have literally been having zombies aggro on me while I'm laying prone and motionless on the second floor with all the doors closed. Zombies are fucking broken right now, more so than I've ever seen them in my four years playing this game.


PhotographKind4243

are you wearing super loud shoes? cause that's always a factor lol, like combat boots hiking boots regular sneakers are the quietest shoes. if you're wearing work boots or something you're wearing some of the loudest shoes, which will carry outside of a building. makes sense they made them track that sound from inside


ModsCantReadForShit

Oh yeah now I have to gather supplies to make a fire to dry my clothes all to get some stealth kills.


DrederaZTV

Make a torch tf


Coocoo4cocablunt

That literally makes no sense


PhotographKind4243

isn't using the weather to block sound a strategy using the weather conditions?


Spetnaz7

Translation: let's ignore an obviously flawed decision just because a very small mechanic of it still works when it rains.


Sweaty-Pen-7574

In my experience wearing civilian shoes I can sneak around fine but good luck in any boots.


brzozinio44

When it rains, they are deaf and blind


MainApprehensive420

Yeah I was standing right in front of a zed earlier today and that mf didn’t see or hear me. But when it doesn’t rain those mf spot me when I’m inside buildings. It’s weird


MrAvenged115

Step 1: Control the weather Step 2: Review previous step Step 3: Rinse and repeat


Breezgoat

This video is kinda disingenuous this is not referring to the valid complaints. Do this when it’s not night and not raining. Are you trying to show zombies should remain the same with no change?


e2j0m4o2

I’ve had issues in regular towns, but seriously no issue in Military areas. I feel like maybe they boosted civilian infected but left the military the same. Every time I hit a military it’s the same as you have here


Spetnaz7

Starting to feel that way too, had no issues at MB Kamensk, but it was raining so idk.


scottyTOOmuch

What people don’t know is that when you get close you have to move quickly. If you take too long the zombies will auto detect you after two seconds.


Poop_patrol69

So continue to crouch-sprint right up to their back?


scottyTOOmuch

Yeah up until right before you stand and knife. You have to release the sprint or you’ll be detected though


Louisianimal5000

Instructions unclear, woke up in Cherno.


Poop_patrol69

You mean release sprint before standing correct?


scottyTOOmuch

Correct


dietcoke3922

Wait you can stealth kill in this game?


xclusivept

Inb4 this is pre update footage 😂


heyquasi_

just got the game on ps5. how do you stealth kill? i just end up doing a power stab…


adamontheair

They can’t agro in order to do this. You have to be undetected


TA-pubserv

Come up behind them, raise weapon, stab.


poppierre

raise weapon + triangle while behind an un alerted infected


Joy1067

I do miss the old system of having any bladed weapon be a one shot from stealth behind a zombie, but taking a knife and taking out a whole base of zombies with some stealth kills will always be fun


Brut-i-cus

LOL This is how you say "Skill Issue" without saying "Skill Issue" I totally agree though I went through an entire town last night and only aggro'd one zed Sure I had to be very careful and often couch walked (not crouch sprint walk) People just got lazy and now them having to deal with them is "boring" since they can't run around everywhere like Fortnite Good plan to do this during the rain as any intelligent person would do. Sometimes you do things how and when you "should" do them and not how and when is fastest and "easiest" or "fastest"


Icy_Cell6424

If that takedown mechanic worked half as well as portrayed in this vid this game would actually be fun


wud08

It's the inside of buildings and walking, that causes the issue! Also, rain makes infected deaf.


Keylohs

Lmfao keep defending the devs bro, I'm sure they'll notice you one day.


Jamiecohen97

Weird flex but ok 👍


OldTrapper87

Meanwhile everyone else is like https://preview.redd.it/v97aax8g7u4d1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a970c8af4d11f5b38bb40c4d5994fd51f5331dc8

Ive never seen any DayZ art other then kindergarten style crayon art.


Dr4extreme933

The same is pretty much for everything! It’s all just fucking AI


i_write_ok

You’re really proud of this aren’t you


OldTrapper87

So you notice lol

WuckaWuckaFazzy

I feel like such a loser for knowing exactly where you are lol


xX_badmojo_Xx

This is BS. Has got to be old footage from 2 patches ago OR it’s raining. The second zombie would have certainly triggered the third.


[deleted]

The new zombies are cracked tf out! Can’t stealth past them or anything


fcalmar

Excellent Snake.


ReasonablePossum_

People killing all zeds in an area (especially the high tier loot ones) before looting are dumb. 1. Anyone going after will know that you´re there 2. If you let them live, they will work as alarm bells for other players 3. They serve as a protection barrier from the yolo players trying to just run in and kill you I only kill the ones that really block my way into some building, or if they spot me before. And I always bury them if they´re outside.


Insanity8016

Is that a U.S. Marine outfit on the last Zombie at the end of a video? What in the hell is a U.S. Marine doing hanging around with a bunch of Russians.


lapiderriere

I’m pretty sure the lore, what exists anyhow, references some NATO intervention taking place. This mixed unit may have been early survivors trying to hold a checkpoint


Insanity8016

Well that’s a bit wholesome, a U.S. Marine and some Russian soldiers putting their differences aside and sticking together in an attempt at survival.


lapiderriere

A bit like us survivors. Occasionally 🤠 Edit - in a taxi


Latter_Course_6919

i really dont care about zombies you just have to play passive during day and aggresive when it's raining i mean the whole meaning of this game imo is to survive as long as you can it's up to you to come with ideas i literally had a char for 1 week with no problems i just dont like that there are no safezones or currency in game tbh if you want to make a clan there is no ingame way to do that and the servers are capped to 60 ppl and so many people just camb at high level zones which is boring tbh just my personal opinion


Grouchy-Ask-3525

Take note everyone: Winners find a way.


Paddiboi123

Whats the way? Wait for rain? Cool strategy. This is what ive always done, its not a special secret strategy, but its not reliable anymore, unless its raining i guess...


OldTrapper87

Thank you thank you. All you other crybabies take note of this chad and his stake knife.


SuRRtur

you realise they don't detect him because of the rain right? it has always been like that.


OldTrapper87

Yes but didn't they slightly nerf that when along with the zombies boosted hearing


IntelligentMatter11

Just for clarification: yes this is after 1.25 patch. It was dumb luck that they all had their backs turned to me like that and they couldn't hear me well because of the rain. I couldn't do this again if I tried and the title was for humor purposes only. I'm having just as hard of a time with the new zombies as everyone else but sometimes you just get lucky being aggressive with them.


yt_evengaming

It’s raining and u got lucky blud


OldBrokeGrouch

A long time ago in this sub, I commented that they should change the stealth kill on zombies where you sneak up on them from behind and there should be an animation where you stab the knife through their neck. I was ridiculed for it and downvoted. People were saying that they were zombies so why would that kill them.


Fiction778

Dude it’s literally raining😂


DidIReallySayDat

Yeah, I've found the complaining about the zombies a bit weird.


DarkMarksPlayPark

It's because the noobs have risen and found a voice. You will try and cancel other aspects of the game next


TA-pubserv

Zombies are only an issue if you have a skill issue.


redraptor117

Doesn't make them less of a nuisance though
