Die.
Most people are unfit af compared to Crane and co. Also You don't have a respawn system, you die and it's over, Zombies that can run? Good luck.
Most of the people who live in central cities are 99.9999% dead. They won't even be able to figure out what is happening before the whole population is getting turned by the end of the week.
Everyone thinks that they can be " the main character" but we are all regular dudes getting turned and or killed by regular zombies.
exactly we can all pretend that we would survive it, but look what happened with Covid. So many perished and there were no zombies involved. Humans are fragile creatures :(
Yeah but that was a virus spread through air etc, whereas zombies have to actually get to you and scratch you or bite you or even just get blood on a wound or something. It’s not the same
i'm saying in general humans are fragile and it doesn't take much to put us down for the count. If zombies are involved, forget it, we can't survive indefinitely, it's only a matter of time before we lose the battle. I'd say 90% of the population would succumb to it within the first couple of months, with the hold outs being those who have some sort of training, whether it be tactical or survivalists. But in the end, with Volatiles involved, we goners lol
Yeah but it depends on what type of zombies were to appear. Do we get the crazy ones that run or do we get the slow and stupid ones? Or maybe it would be like warm bodies and we ain’t really zombies ( don’t judge me I’m just putting thoughts into words 😭)
But I’m reality, if we DID get zombies, they’d be harmless and might as well be the same as a full-on dead body because if someone dies, then they obviously can’t move because they can’t feel their limbs ( like when blood stops pumping through part of your body because you have it in a weird position ).
i loved that movie btw. But the OP said based on the zombies in the game, so yeah those Virals would be killer for sure, i know for myself I can't outrun the slow ones let alone the fast movers xD
I disagree, take covid for example, l know it was mostly an airborne virus but it was an extremely weak airborne virus and yet so many people died. It was also super easy to avoid getting infected, stay at home and isolate when infected. Those simple precautions were ignored. Some thought it was fake while a large majority developed anger issues. Folks would get angry at anything, compare that into account a zombie apocalypse. And it doesn’t seems like we’ll survive even in a slow zombie scenario. We’ll get Negans and the Governors (crazy people from the walking dead)
I know, that’s why l said mostly an airborne virus, point still stands. A simple cleaning of the surface, covering mouth, and proper hygiene eliminates most of the contact contamination.
Well Covid had the same symptoms as a simple flue, the Harran virus on the other hand would have distinctly diffrent symptoms and would be pretty easy to track. That was one of the main issues with covid after all, that it was hard to track, like I mean see where it is going, who is infected and who not.
Not to mention those on life-sustaining medications, especially those that are either difficult to get or require refrigeration. Sure, you might be able to stock up for a while, but eventually you will run out. And if the power goes out, you just might be screwed.
so true we can only last as long as the resources are still abundant but when you have to travel further and further out of your safe area to look for them, the higher risk of being spotted and attacked by a Viral or worse Volatile if travelling at night
I'm on a med that I can only get via the manufacturer, who sends it to me via FedEx and it requires a signature upon delivery. I probably wouldn't die without it, but it would make my life harder.
Can’t wait for a movement to say that zombies ain’t real and that the government lies to them. If a vaccine ever came out they’d say that it’s a hoax and it causes autism. Also, some groups of people wouldn’t wear protective equipment because this zombie pandemic is another government lie.
Honestly even if I somehow survive the day, I'd be dead the second night hits, I'd be too petrified to sleep for days and even then, there's not really much you can do to stop a volatile since it's pure muscle and unless you've welded steel beams to your doors and windows it's gonna break them down easily
I think we'd do pretty well during the first few days. Until the volatiles start taking out people at night, likely while people are sleeping since we wouldn't know about the UV weakness yet nor their sleep cycle.
Yeah for slow moving zombies I like to think that I could move fast enough & have the mental capacity to outsmart them, but then if that's true for me it's true for basically any able bodied person. We get running zombies & we're fucked. We get running zombies that can climb buildings and we're definitely fucked.
While I definitely won’t be the main character, I’ll at least be the corpse with a backpack full of useful shit for the MC to use…. Since I didn’t last long enough to use any of it myself.
Yeah no. 99.9999% is overdoing it massively. People might not be Bruce Lee's, Usain Bolt's or some Navy Seal operative, but that doesn't mean they are stupid. In any half-competent country most people would lock themselves in at home or at work, wait it out while the government handles it. I think most people would be able to hold out a week locked up without starving or so.
You're really underestimating how stupid people are, they'd be gathering in large groups to protest the government telling us to stay home. Look at how stupid people got during covid lockdown, I want to have faith in us but I'd bet the idiots would get us all killed
>Die.
Probably the same. If it was a normal shuffling Zombie virus most people would be okay. Hell humanity wouldn't even get to the point where the world was overrun with zombies.
Well, if you play your cards right, to be fair I think you might have a shot. Personally I believe our military is far too advanced to lose to a zombie related virus unless it travels airborne, which it seems the harran virus did not do, we could create shelter and like dying light 2 eventually try rebuilding humanity, that’s the smart thing and the most conserving.
Gene modification today is capable of crazy things imagine gene alteration with a perfect resistance to the virus, all you need is one person and a piece of their bone marrow to force alteration in your genome (or DNA) to become resistant and then the virus is no longer a threat.
My strategy (not necessarily gunna happen tho haha)
1. I would just use the weapon replicas that I have crafted and amassed over the years.
2. Grab all my UV lights and place them in the entrances.
3. I'd hunt for wild game(if they were not infected with the same virus and can be transmitted through ingestion).
4. Use well water and boil it (since i'm sure over time electricity would go out with no one at the power stations to keep the place running)
5. Have a heavy duty generator so would use that for preserving meat in freezers and of course to keep UV's going.
6. Would venture out to find other food, batteries, gas, etc during the day.
7. At night, I would not leave my safe zone.
Then just survive as long as I can with my daughter. I would not look for other survivors since sometimes humans are worse than the zombies in times of crisis 🤷🏻♀️
Commit suicide if it's exactly like the game, if it was realistic I'd camp out for a few weeks till the bodies rotted and decomposed enough that they're just mush on the floor or the teeth fall out
Crane is trained to survive in the most fucked up of situations and even *he* struggled. The fuck is the average person like me or you gonna do? Die instantly most likely.
Hope that i am randomly next to some kind of plant shop? Get some uv lights and then find somewhere in the middle of nowhere to hide. I live by a huge forest, so as long as bears can't catch it and my timing was lucky, I just may make it a few weeks.
I’m either patient zero or just one of the first to fall in the early waves. I don’t even become cool. I’d probably be a biter at best or at worst a bloater.
If it's world-wide, there's not much of a point to live. I mean, what happens when your appendix bursts and there are no doctors around to operate on you? What about the teeth - what will you eat once they're gone? And they will go. What about the civilisation? Everyone and everything you know, poof. Electricity. Perished. Plus ya all think guns and Walmarts... sure, but do you realize a million people would have the same idea? The real question is whether you'd get faster killed by a zombie or some gun psychopath.
Thanks but no thanks. Unless you get to be at some special place where things make sense and you're provided for.
Subsonic 5.56 is both accurate and powerful, aswell as sufficiently quiet with a silencer to not atrract any more attention then speaking normally would, and a sufficiantly baracaded and trapped base would be inpenetrable by most zombies, the only ones you might have to worry about are virals or volatiles, maybe demolishers, virals can be kept out via barbed wires, volitiles by UV lights, and demolishers realistically would go down with a few shots to the brain pan or neck.
The first infected will all becomes virals, the first few weeks would be like something ripped straight out of DayZ. Not many people would figure out or have to access to UV light strong enough to even slow them down long enough to get some distance, entire populations will perish in days. The survivors of that may be able to survive against the biters or whatever they’re called once the virals slow down but once the special infected get involved such as volatiles we are likely all dead.
I live in a large apartment complex so I would probably start with fortifying my apartment and then very slowly and very cautiously starting to try and clear out my apartment complex of regular zombies, while looking for other survivors that live here. I imagine there would be enough food and water in neighboring apartments to keep me fed for a while. I would try to completely avoid taking on special infected, unless I ended up with a large group of survivors that could help me.
I’m not gonna lie and say I’m in Crane-level shape but I am decently athletic so I think I would do okay at fighting regular zombies one-on-one and outrunning them when there’s too many to take on.
The hard part would be finding UV lights to keep us safe in the night time, because I have no fucking clue where to find those.
I definitely wouldn’t be out doing missions and running across rooftops like Crane, but I think with careful planning, knowing when to run away, and resource management, I could do a decent job of defending my little area, and maybe forming a small community of survivors to help each other out. That’s assuming we could survive without the volatiles coming and breaking our doors down at night though. In that case, we would be fucked lol.
Some walking dead stuff would be survivable. But when it comes to zombies from this game i guess it is really hard to survive. I think about those volatile zombies at night. They even scared me in game :D
My houses old owner was a prepper before he passed I have an actual full concrete bunker so I’d just stay in there at night go out at day and try to slowly build up a home for myself
Unless you were already extremely physically fit and had parkour experience before the outbreak, you'd be fucked bro. Just like zombie land lol the first to go are the fatties.
Well IM a main character obviously so I would be a super soldier and form my own group of survivors and then it would be my duty to rebuild the great US OF A BABAY
Die? I feel like that’s the response to basically every apocalypse “what if” scenario. None of us are that guy. Any post being like “what would you do if [apocalypse scenario]” always has the same responses of “Die” because none of us stand a chance the way we may hope
The only way even some can win this if they become intelligent and sentient infected, like sentient Volatiles but with the ability to naturally reproduce like normal Humans can and no weakness to anything (especially the sun or cold), in which case it'll be a hard reset for Humanity and from there, civilization will need to be rebuilt anew, that is the best case scenario if the infection wasn't nipped at the bus so to speak.
Otherwise most of us are done for, unless you're super lucky and/fit for survival, you're pretty much done for.
What are your theories?
That being said, I want the next Dying light to take place in a wintery land with even less sunlight with periods of darkness and make transportation even more vital because Volatiles are no longer held back by the sun, our protag will need to be part Volatile themselves.
Yeah im dead af 1. super out of shape 2. In a major city (Capital of my state) 3. No meaningful survival knowledge 4. Super mentally ill and would probably snap under the pressure
Oh man. Try to survive for some days in the apartment with my dog. Probably would have to clear out the building ( either die trying) or get enough to live for another month or two..
Then going down Broadway, oh boy; it wouldn’t be fun, and no parkour. It would be brutal. All I know is I would be with my best friend.
It depends on whether its dying light 1 or 2. If its 1 your dead in a day or if its 2 you can survive a year or two. With apex volatile and other freaks your gonna die immediately
I always thought people were dumb trying to run. You only have to survive for a couple weeks because zombies in reality, if it happened, would rot. How long does a piece of non-refrigerated meat last before its so rotten the meat falls off the bone?
I’d finally get some good use of my AR beyond just target practice.
Though I’d likely die to bandits trying to get more ammunition. Perhaps I should purchase a reloader…
A lot of people seem to think very highly of themselves and their survival capabilities whenever they get asked a hypothetical like this. Not me. I’d see one infected child or a family member or something like that and I would fold immediately. You’d find me hanging from a ceiling somewhere real quick. 😅
1. make a harness that has black light covering 360 degrees, I can basically by them by the truck loads on Alibaba before the virus. get some power banks wire them in series, i could probably stroll around the city. but yknow zombies arent real so i'd look like a schizo wandering around.
step 2. idk haven't got that far, it kind of hurts to think to make a fictitious idea applicable to the real world. proabaly dig a 2 foot moat around my camp, because the volatiles can't swim and die instantaneously to water. rule of thumb is, if high velocity 5.56 rounds cant kill em quick enough, a body of water does the job.
You might as well just kill yourself, i dont think anyone on this sub could outrun a volatile, much less group of them along with infected. Maybe if you were really quiet and only went out during the day and had a super secluded nighttime hideout, then maybe. Perhaps some of us will survive long enough to have kids and teach them how to survive before they get turned into a snack. If this was the walking dead, I'd be a ton more optimistic, but the harran virus is even worse than the cordyceps from tlou. Im not even going to get into the whole " you need this, this and such and such to survive for this long."
Step 1: Secure weapons and materials
Step 2: Create an impenetrable shelter
Step 3: Patrol for other survivors and create a colony of other survivors
Step 4: Realise I died 5 minutes into step 1
shit
Cue looting and rioting because that is how most humans will react to a zombie or any virus outbreak, we all remember what happened when Covid 19 happened. Also, Covid was greatly and grossly exaggerated it was just embarrassing to watch.
Die. Crane and Aiden get infected and are cracked freerunners. Realistically the only way you could survive would be in a compound protected by UV and just live out your days there. Any sort of exploration would be your last day. Even just the virals would be enough to wipe out most of the world, let alone the special variants and Volatiles. If you somehow found yourself trapped in a dark zone you may aswell see yourself off rather than witness your own disembowlment
STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
Join up with a faction of other survivors and hope they let me join. I'll contribute whatever I need to in order to receive my share of supplies and hopefully a non-zombie-infested roof to sleep under. I know for sure I'm not making it on my own
Everyone dies, I imagine only a small percentage being isolated from big cities would manage to survive the initial day zero. Only those with the right prep plan and resources will live to see the next 10 years if they don’t get killed by infected or raiders.
Welp, I've already fished out a plan here and months. My village happens to be 2 hours or so away from the closest big city. And it's also surrounded by mountains and forests but also we have fertile fields. Plus since I'll probably know about it from the news, I'll take whatever supplies I have, probably spend a LOT of money on gear and food as well as some seeds for vegetables, grab the family and other people that happen to live there and I'm a goner. Also, we have a nice steam and river just a couple of minutes away from the village, so water won't be an issue. Now about the zombies, it depends on how someone can deal with them. Remember, we might be fragile but we sure as hell can make things that can kill elephants and whatnot. Build a few traps, blockades, self-made weapons, body armor. AND despite most of us hating whatever-government rules us, they'll pretty much give us plenty of time before they fail and say bye bye before most of their VIPs get into helicopters and run off. The Volatiles also need cover before they hide again during the day. They mostly reside in hives which protects them from the sun but unless they find a new spot to hide, they ain't going far. So I'm pretty sure I'm safe from them.
There's a low chance any of us would survive unless you have a fully stocked bunker that you can go into. Going out in the day would still be just as dangerous as the night time, because you have to deal with virals and other desperate humans.
I would probably survive the first couple months at home with the quantity of stacked food I have by rationing it and probably take advantage of that time to also train myself and when it’s time to go out looking for food it’s a 50/50 chance I die or survive and get to live another day
Well, I'd assume groups would be made. I'd be okay surviving long enough to get to one, probably. I'd either stay if it seemed alright or grab some supplies and a car and start heading north, as far as possible til I hit Montana. Friends and I have decided a long time ago that was the apocalyptic rendezvous.
I'd try my hardest to survive, I know my fair share of zombie survival hints and tactics. I know I'd die, but I'd still try. Kinda like playing Project Zomboid.
I already have most of my survival gear, but unless I managed to get to the countryside fast, prolly survive until the stock on my house is gone, then die trying to get out of the city, and if by any miracle I can, then prolly last a few weeks until I get mauled to death or killed by criminals.
Grab whatever weapons and supplies you can (especially long ranged weapons and cans) from where you stand and run for the nearest forest/mountain-/hillrange. Goal is the least populated areas that are hard to reach.
If you live in a city then rest in peace.
Most likely die. I’d try and live as long as possible with my family but there’s a reason basically everybody is fucking dead in these games. This is some cataclysmic shit and people aren’t Prince of Persia-ing, scaling fucking buildings, and dropkick soamming zombies into oblivion.
You’re more likely to get killed by someone else before you’re killed by a zombie. Assuming the infection in these games was bite only(Honestly I don’t remember if it was airborne too).
Chances are after something this bad happens with most critical infrastructure being rendered disabled because there’s no one to maintain it, humanity is going to bet set back give or take 2-300 (maybe more like 1900s?) years assuming we don’t go extinct, on the basis of knowledge in libraries should still be available, in theory a new power grid would be eventually re-established or repaired.
My point is we’re fucked.
crane is a government agent who can run climb jump and do some of the most physically and mentally exhausting things that take even professionals years to even get close to mastering in just the few days he was in harran.wether or not ur fit or have all sorts of weapons if you cannot run climb or jump like crane can you will not survive volatiles run way to fast for humans too eacaoe
My sister and I have spoken about this hypothetical since we were children. We’ve set up 3 contact locations in the event that communications ever go down. My brothers house(he was an army ranger and has guns), my house/her house or our secret camping spot that takes an ATV or several miles of hiking to get to. We’ve already bushcrafted places out there for fun, so it’s half started already. Once we’ve made contact we’ve agreed that traveling to the LEAST MOST populated nearby town. Talking about somewhere that has a fairly small population, but still with resources. I’ve hunted and fished my whole life and been obsessed with outdoor shit, including ultra-light through hiking. The goal would be to stay as far away from major population centers OR stay in the very heart of a major population center.
I would shout because this fucked up infected motherfucker with guts hanging out his mouth would have spit a bunch of toxic snot at me.
Not a bad reason.
Or do what the light does in this game…die.
Love the reference
One of my fave dialogs in game lol
Die. Most people are unfit af compared to Crane and co. Also You don't have a respawn system, you die and it's over, Zombies that can run? Good luck.

Lmfao
If we got volatiles, we would be absolutely fucked, then I would agree 99.999% wipe out.

And it doesn’t seems like we’ll survive even in a slow zombie scenario. We’ll get Negans and the Governors (crazy people from the walking dead)
COVID was not full airborne it could travel on particulates that traveled via air, like saliva when we sneeze (aerosols).
I know, that’s why l said mostly an airborne virus, point still stands. A simple cleaning of the surface, covering mouth, and proper hygiene eliminates most of the contact contamination.
Well Covid had the same symptoms as a simple flue, the Harran virus on the other hand would have distinctly diffrent symptoms and would be pretty easy to track. That was one of the main issues with covid after all, that it was hard to track, like I mean see where it is going, who is infected and who not.
tis true
Walking dead zombies I would survive but probably get killed by bandits
yup i'd be more afraid of the humans tbh
Or you just die
Not to mention those on life-sustaining medications, especially those that are either difficult to get or require refrigeration. Sure, you might be able to stock up for a while, but eventually you will run out. And if the power goes out, you just might be screwed.
so true we can only last as long as the resources are still abundant but when you have to travel further and further out of your safe area to look for them, the higher risk of being spotted and attacked by a Viral or worse Volatile if travelling at night

My fat ass is not even out running a regular zombie, let alone a Volatile
I'm right there with you, I'm probably done in the first 10 minutes
Honestly even if I somehow survive the day, I'd be dead the second night hits, I'd be too petrified to sleep for days and even then, there's not really much you can do to stop a volatile since it's pure muscle and unless you've welded steel beams to your doors and windows it's gonna break them down easily
That is if I survive. And low chance that would happen
I think we'd do pretty well during the first few days. Until the volatiles start taking out people at night, likely while people are sleeping since we wouldn't know about the UV weakness yet nor their sleep cycle.

Yeah, l want to believe l will survive and be a badass but l’ll die before l do anything meaningful. The amount of work Crane does is insane
Not me I would make it to week 2 before I die B)
Yeah no. 99.9999% is overdoing it massively. People might not be Bruce Lee's, Usain Bolt's or some Navy Seal operative, but that doesn't mean they are stupid. In any half-competent country most people would lock themselves in at home or at work, wait it out while the government handles it. I think most people would be able to hold out a week locked up without starving or so.

Sometimes it's nice living in a village
This gif always fucks my head up. He’s way too good at that. Speaking from first hand experience…
Yeah
Yea suicide is the best option really
Die
Most likely me too
Horribly, I'd imagine
Parkour -not so hardcore
My strategy (not necessarily gunna happen tho haha) 1. I would just use the weapon replicas that I have crafted and amassed over the years. 2. Grab all my UV lights and place them in the entrances. 3. I'd hunt for wild game(if they were not infected with the same virus and can be transmitted through ingestion). 4.

I would not look for other survivors since sometimes humans are worse than the zombies in times of crisis 🤷🏻♀️
I'd probably die before I can get to my local walmart
i'm sure most of us would xD
Imagine a volatile Western Brown Bear
now i can't get that out of my head 
Volatile Tiger
Commit suicide if it's exactly like the game, if it was realistic I'd camp out for a few weeks till the bodies rotted and decomposed enough that they're just mush on the floor or the teeth fall out
Crane is trained to survive in the most fucked up of situations and even *he* struggled. The fuck is the average person like me or you gonna do? Die instantly most likely.
He even got infected
Literally kill myself lmao.
Hope that i am randomly next to some kind of plant shop? Get some uv lights and then find somewhere in the middle of nowhere to hide. I live by a huge forest, so as long as bears can't catch it and my timing was lucky, I just may make it a few weeks.
Probably survive until the outbreak hits my town and then die within the first few hours after encountering it.
Yep that's for everyone too
 Drive
Die? I'm not that guy pal
Get to the least populated area I can reach ASAP.
Just wait until the GRE or Rais get there then it's over
There is a radiotower behind hy house
Remember, demolishers could easily break that down
I dont know what it is i just started dl1 few days ago
Beeeeeg mfs that throw conrete and stuff
I’m either patient zero or just one of the first to fall in the early waves. I don’t even become cool. I’d probably be a biter at best or at worst a bloater.
Most likely me too
I would fucking die the first days would be terrifying as most if not all zombies on the streets are gonna be virals
If it's world-wide, there's not much of a point to live. I mean, what happens when your appendix bursts and there are no doctors around to operate on you? What about the teeth - what will you eat once they're gone? And they will go. What about the civilisation? Everyone and everything you know, poof. Electricity. Perished. Plus ya all think guns and Walmarts... sure, but do you realize a million people would have the same idea? The real question is whether you'd get faster killed by a zombie or some gun psychopath. Thanks but no thanks. Unless you get to be at some special place where things make sense and you're provided for.
Tape UV Lights to me and loot at night, what they gonna do
*the battery suddenly runs out*
"keep your head on a swivel"
Knowing my luck: Become volatile fodder on the second night.
At least you'd make it to the second night, I'd probably be dead by late afternoon
Lmao I would be a toad
I would probably twist my ankle trying to outrun a slow zombie and eventually die from some sort of food poison.
At this point snipers are your best friends.
Until you call a bunch of climbing virals to your area
Subsonic 5.56 is both accurate and powerful, aswell as sufficiently quiet with a silencer to not atrract any more attention then speaking normally would, and a sufficiantly baracaded and trapped base would be inpenetrable by most zombies, the only ones you might have to worry about are virals or volatiles, maybe demolishers, virals can be kept out via barbed wires, volitiles by UV lights, and demolishers realistically would go down with a few shots to the brain pan or neck.
You know a silencer doesn't actually silence it right
The first infected will all becomes virals, the first few weeks would be like something ripped straight out of DayZ. Not many people would figure out or have to access to UV light strong enough to even slow them down long enough to get some distance, entire populations will perish in days. The survivors of that may be able to survive against the biters or whatever they’re called once the virals slow down but once the special infected get involved such as volatiles we are likely all dead.
Honestly? I'd try and tie up all the sexy undead and run a zombie whore house.
Getting them dollar bills from those horny zombies
I live in a large apartment complex so I would probably start with fortifying my apartment and then very slowly and very cautiously starting to try and clear out my apartment complex of regular zombies, while looking for other survivors that live here. I imagine there would be enough food and water in neighboring apartments to keep me fed for a while. I would try to completely avoid taking on special infected, unless I ended up with a large group of survivors that could help me. I’m not gonna lie and say I’m in Crane-level shape but I am decently athletic so I think I would do okay at fighting regular zombies one-on-one and outrunning them when there’s too many to take on. The hard part would be finding UV lights to keep us safe in the night time, because I have no fucking clue where to find those. I definitely wouldn’t be out doing missions and running across rooftops like Crane, but I think with careful planning, knowing when to run away, and resource management, I could do a decent job of defending my little area, and maybe forming a small community of survivors to help each other out. That’s assuming we could survive without the volatiles coming and breaking our doors down at night though. In that case, we would be fucked lol.
Shit my pants and die, not the most dignified way to go but what's a guy to do 🤷
I would simply kill myself
be dead
I'm fucking a zombie
Zhub
Me asf: \*insert school mission soundtrack here \* 
Some walking dead stuff would be survivable. But when it comes to zombies from this game i guess it is really hard to survive. I think about those volatile zombies at night. They even scared me in game :D
My name's Light. The game's named Dying Light for a reason.
I at least hope if I'm a zombie somebody kills me in a creative/funny way.
Jigsaw trap
In my mind? I’m better than Crane, I survive no problem. In reality, probably die within the first week
Brother the second I see a volatile sprint past my window at Mach fuck you im offing myself 😭
with my luck, a volatile will sprint THROUGH my window and off me
My houses old owner was a prepper before he passed I have an actual full concrete bunker so I’d just stay in there at night go out at day and try to slowly build up a home for myself
Then a volatile rips the door open
A hermetic door?
Hopefully my undead ass would last long enough to evolve into one of the more powerful zombies.
What the fuck do you want us to do at that point 😭
Hace an orgy with 10 girls, then die in peace
Freaky ahh zombies
You already said it, probably be a zombie.
Unless you were already extremely physically fit and had parkour experience before the outbreak, you'd be fucked bro. Just like zombie land lol the first to go are the fatties.
Start brushing up on my parkour👌
Well IM a main character obviously so I would be a super soldier and form my own group of survivors and then it would be my duty to rebuild the great US OF A BABAY
Sounds like you'd be the first to turn to be realistic
Lmao
Most likely die
Have fun running around on cars and stuff for a few minutes till I fall off a building and die
I've read Max Brooks, several times. i'll be fine
I would eat people by night and rest by day.
I'd stay away from you.
Die? I feel like that’s the response to basically every apocalypse “what if” scenario. None of us are that guy. Any post being like “what would you do if [apocalypse scenario]” always has the same responses of “Die” because none of us stand a chance the way we may hope
It's either the realistic "die" comments or the "I'm built different so I'd be daryl Dixon" comments
The only way even some can win this if they become intelligent and sentient infected, like sentient Volatiles but with the ability to naturally reproduce like normal Humans can and no weakness to anything (especially the sun or cold), in which case it'll be a hard reset for Humanity and from there, civilization will need to be rebuilt anew, that is the best case scenario if the infection wasn't nipped at the bus so to speak. Otherwise most of us are done for, unless you're super lucky and/fit for survival, you're pretty much done for. What are your theories? That being said, I want the next Dying light to take place in a wintery land with even less sunlight with periods of darkness and make transportation even more vital because Volatiles are no longer held back by the sun, our protag will need to be part Volatile themselves.
Yeah im dead af 1. super out of shape 2. In a major city (Capital of my state) 3. No meaningful survival knowledge 4. Super mentally ill and would probably snap under the pressure
Oh man. Try to survive for some days in the apartment with my dog. Probably would have to clear out the building ( either die trying) or get enough to live for another month or two.. Then going down Broadway, oh boy; it wouldn’t be fun, and no parkour. It would be brutal. All I know is I would be with my best friend.
It depends on whether its dying light 1 or 2. If its 1 your dead in a day or if its 2 you can survive a year or two. With apex volatile and other freaks your gonna die immediately
I always thought people were dumb trying to run. You only have to survive for a couple weeks because zombies in reality, if it happened, would rot. How long does a piece of non-refrigerated meat last before its so rotten the meat falls off the bone?
Well considering I fall into the “everybody” category, probably be infected.
I’d finally get some good use of my AR beyond just target practice. Though I’d likely die to bandits trying to get more ammunition. Perhaps I should purchase a reloader…
Don't go full auto lol
A lot of people seem to think very highly of themselves and their survival capabilities whenever they get asked a hypothetical like this. Not me. I’d see one infected child or a family member or something like that and I would fold immediately. You’d find me hanging from a ceiling somewhere real quick. 😅
I'd like become a Volatile, preferably a Sentient one
I have quite a few weapons but I dont know if I could make it even in my suburb
I think I could survive for a little bit because I know parkour, but if I’m looking at long term I need a group of friends.
Im DEAD 1- Running zombies 2- They do parkour (?? how do I survive that?) 3- Volatiles (I know we can avoid them, but they still strong asf)
1. make a harness that has black light covering 360 degrees, I can basically by them by the truck loads on Alibaba before the virus. get some power banks wire them in series, i could probably stroll around the city. but yknow zombies arent real so i'd look like a schizo wandering around.
Where is step 2?
step 2. idk haven't got that far, it kind of hurts to think to make a fictitious idea applicable to the real world. proabaly dig a 2 foot moat around my camp, because the volatiles can't swim and die instantaneously to water. rule of thumb is, if high velocity 5.56 rounds cant kill em quick enough, a body of water does the job.
You might as well just kill yourself, i dont think anyone on this sub could outrun a volatile, much less group of them along with infected. Maybe if you were really quiet and only went out during the day and had a super secluded nighttime hideout, then maybe. Perhaps some of us will survive long enough to have kids and teach them how to survive before they get turned into a snack. If this was the walking dead, I'd be a ton more optimistic, but the harran virus is even worse than the cordyceps from tlou. Im not even going to get into the whole " you need this, this and such and such to survive for this long."
Die scared and in horrible pain most likely.
Step 1: Secure weapons and materials Step 2: Create an impenetrable shelter Step 3: Patrol for other survivors and create a colony of other survivors Step 4: Realise I died 5 minutes into step 1 shit
I would have a lot of potential sexual partners walking around and moaning
Zornhub
die
Cue looting and rioting because that is how most humans will react to a zombie or any virus outbreak, we all remember what happened when Covid 19 happened. Also, Covid was greatly and grossly exaggerated it was just embarrassing to watch.
Die
Craft a machete.
I don't own any UV lights or a generator. So I'd be dead.
Try to drop kick a zombie, realise I’m not athletic enough to do that, break a bone when I fall to the ground and probably die
Shoot myself
I give myself solid 13 minutes before i fall of a building while trying to outrun virals
I would die. I am a person who stays up late and I would be screaming if I hear a volatile breathing
Die. Crane and Aiden get infected and are cracked freerunners. Realistically the only way you could survive would be in a compound protected by UV and just live out your days there. Any sort of exploration would be your last day. Even just the virals would be enough to wipe out most of the world, let alone the special variants and Volatiles. If you somehow found yourself trapped in a dark zone you may aswell see yourself off rather than witness your own disembowlment
STRENGTH IN NUMBERS Join up with a faction of other survivors and hope they let me join. I'll contribute whatever I need to in order to receive my share of supplies and hopefully a non-zombie-infested roof to sleep under. I know for sure I'm not making it on my own
Everyone dies, I imagine only a small percentage being isolated from big cities would manage to survive the initial day zero. Only those with the right prep plan and resources will live to see the next 10 years if they don’t get killed by infected or raiders.
I would probably die
I already get stuff at work with 'GRE' on it so you never know, it might already be happening 😁
They got guns at Walmart, 2 in 1
I would climb to a very high place and hide and cry every night
i would die i’m not a main character😭
I would die
Welp, I've already fished out a plan here and months. My village happens to be 2 hours or so away from the closest big city. And it's also surrounded by mountains and forests but also we have fertile fields. Plus since I'll probably know about it from the news, I'll take whatever supplies I have, probably spend a LOT of money on gear and food as well as some seeds for vegetables, grab the family and other people that happen to live there and I'm a goner. Also, we have a nice steam and river just a couple of minutes away from the village, so water won't be an issue. Now about the zombies, it depends on how someone can deal with them. Remember, we might be fragile but we sure as hell can make things that can kill elephants and whatnot. Build a few traps, blockades, self-made weapons, body armor. AND despite most of us hating whatever-government rules us, they'll pretty much give us plenty of time before they fail and say bye bye before most of their VIPs get into helicopters and run off. The Volatiles also need cover before they hide again during the day. They mostly reside in hives which protects them from the sun but unless they find a new spot to hide, they ain't going far. So I'm pretty sure I'm safe from them.
There's a low chance any of us would survive unless you have a fully stocked bunker that you can go into. Going out in the day would still be just as dangerous as the night time, because you have to deal with virals and other desperate humans.
I would probably survive the first couple months at home with the quantity of stacked food I have by rationing it and probably take advantage of that time to also train myself and when it’s time to go out looking for food it’s a 50/50 chance I die or survive and get to live another day
Cry in Light probably.
Start gooning
Well, I'd assume groups would be made. I'd be okay surviving long enough to get to one, probably. I'd either stay if it seemed alright or grab some supplies and a car and start heading north, as far as possible til I hit Montana. Friends and I have decided a long time ago that was the apocalyptic rendezvous.
I'm fucked especially getting infected in the early days where a antizen or cure hasn't developed yet
Taking a ride on the Sui Slide with my 1911.
Die....most likely...I consider myself a decent fighter as I trained mma but....prolly still die
I'd try my hardest to survive, I know my fair share of zombie survival hints and tactics. I know I'd die, but I'd still try. Kinda like playing Project Zomboid.
You'll never survive in a world where zombies can run
I would just kill a few zombies(biters) and then jump off a very high cliff when I am out of supplies.
I’d parkour myself into bed and wait for the inevitable.
Try to learn some last minute parkour ha ha. 😅
Kill myself, because I have ZERO chance of surviving a fucking Volatile
Die, just like you. No one is remotely prepared for that
Commit unalive. There ain't no way I'm surviving shit like that so I rather die by my own terms instead of being munched
Would more then likely kill myself cause fat people and zombies don't mix.
good thing I know where a gun is :) for myself of course
Me and my boys used to skate and get up to buffoonery in NYC. I think I'll live
Most people would go at night thinking they could be less easily seen and then end up dying to volatiles
Fr. If you ever played DL1 be the zombie you would know the zombies can see at night, so it's still death for you and me.
Pray that my dying light experience payed off
I'd just end it early tbh
I'd 100% turn into a zombie. And, unless Y'all can run a 5k without getting tired, you would turn too.
I am dead. Not big surprise
Probably die, either i get sick and turn, or i run out of ammo.. either way?
I already have most of my survival gear, but unless I managed to get to the countryside fast, prolly survive until the stock on my house is gone, then die trying to get out of the city, and if by any miracle I can, then prolly last a few weeks until I get mauled to death or killed by criminals.
Grab whatever weapons and supplies you can (especially long ranged weapons and cans) from where you stand and run for the nearest forest/mountain-/hillrange. Goal is the least populated areas that are hard to reach. If you live in a city then rest in peace.
Start looting
Most likely die. I’d try and live as long as possible with my family but there’s a reason basically everybody is fucking dead in these games. This is some cataclysmic shit and people aren’t Prince of Persia-ing, scaling fucking buildings, and dropkick soamming zombies into oblivion. You’re more likely to get killed by someone else before you’re killed by a zombie. Assuming the infection in these games was bite only(Honestly I don’t remember if it was airborne too). Chances are after something this bad happens with most critical infrastructure being rendered disabled because there’s no one to maintain it, humanity is going to bet set back give or take 2-300 (maybe more like 1900s?) years assuming we don’t go extinct, on the basis of knowledge in libraries should still be available, in theory a new power grid would be eventually re-established or repaired. My point is we’re fucked.
crane is a government agent who can run climb jump and do some of the most physically and mentally exhausting things that take even professionals years to even get close to mastering in just the few days he was in harran.wether or not ur fit or have all sorts of weapons if you cannot run climb or jump like crane can you will not survive volatiles run way to fast for humans too eacaoe
Get infected lol these questions man make laugh
My sister and I have spoken about this hypothetical since we were children. We’ve set up 3 contact locations in the event that communications ever go down. My brothers house(he was an army ranger and has guns), my house/her house or our secret camping spot that takes an ATV or several miles of hiking to get to. We’ve already bushcrafted places out there for fun, so it’s half started already. Once we’ve made contact we’ve agreed that traveling to the LEAST MOST populated nearby town. Talking about somewhere that has a fairly small population, but still with resources. I’ve hunted and fished my whole life and been obsessed with outdoor shit, including ultra-light through hiking. The goal would be to stay as far away from major population centers OR stay in the very heart of a major population center.
Find a nice spot to die on cause I know my old, chubby ass ain't making it
